PAUL ROBESON- SONG OF THE PLAINS

[1968mmarco]

Que capo!!!

[derekcay]

What a voice! Shivers down your neck...

[MrComplainalot]

I'm British and this is my favourite song. Fight the power! Oh wait..

[MaoistLeninistMarx]

Paul Robeson was a hero and example and inspiration for all African Americans. 

[MaoistLeninistMarx]

@MrComplainalot it is heroes not eagles

[OLY47]

where is he from?,somebody can tell me,please...

[MaoistLeninistMarx]

@OLY47 this is a Soviet song about the Red Army fighting against the anti-Bolshevik white-army.

This was played the movie Castaway; didn't make it to soundtrack album. This is on Songs of Free Men. Thanks for posting.

[pchazzzz]

He should have stuck to music and steered clear of politics...

[MaoistLeninistMarx]

@pchazzzz no this is what makes him great, he was a great Communist artist.

[SovietPlum]

Probably the only American that song these songs with a passion, I give my all out respect for this man.

The Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic thanks this man.

Пролетарии всех стран соединяйтесь!

[biprofenide]

[grummeper]

[vivascargill]

all respect to the great red army but Brother Paul was a one man  army!!

[dal4018]

@vivascargill He could have been a Opera Legend if he so desired with his voice

[Spartan307]

sorry. sounds terrible compare to any russian version.

[kempeitai21]

@Spartan307 totally agree komrade that Russian version is best especially the "soviet chorus and band" though he still has good voice!

[drhalsall]

It took me hours to locate this (I was using Polyushka Polye as the search term).

Paul Robeson was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived, and his voice!

[philoampersand]

One man, singing with the power of an entire army choir. What's not to like?

[ndsfreakV2]

This is my absolute favorite Paul Robeson song.

[Magdalen09]

I've been looking for this recording for a while.
