The more the precious government bestows on us, "in the name of fairness," the less self-reliant and self-responsiblity we have. The land of the selfish began with FDR, furthered along by LBJ, now Obama. JFK had it right: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask rather, what YOU can do FOR your country." Me, Me, Me is where we are at, due to government largesse, to get votes for the uniformied, unmotivated & lazy. Praise Paul for this glorious song, with his WOW voice.
As a boy, I heard my father sing this to my mother. In his broad Scots accent, the memory of it still stirs my soul and the hair on the back of my neck still rises, 56 years later!

Sublime!

The genius of Ben Jonson's To Celia written in 1616 - here perfected by another genius - the great Paul Robeson -
Magnificent! Many thanks, sarastrone! Splendid post!

Superb voice, just a joy to hear. Haven't heard him sing this one before. I love PR's "I still suits me".
