  • Without Thee is another scottish folk song Robeson did. Ain't on youtube but you can find his rendition of the song on Live at the Peave Arch recordings. This is truly awesome!

  • im a sopranino and i wish i could sing like that

  • the greatest!

  • Never heard this song sang better.

  • one of the best singers of all time

  • Robeson is tremendous

    it's so real

    so lacking in most contempo singers

  • For us Scots he does us a great honour . Do you hear the Burrr as he sings the words "aforrrre ye " and "parrrted" .....simply the best . Ach , I'm convinced he was born and bred in Argyll .

  • This man is great! God what a treasure!

    I wish I could have met him.

  • What an absolute privilege to hear such a great man singing about my country, and to learn that he even took the time to learn our language - I'm blown away :)

  • Elizabeth Wheeler (on YT) sings this piece beautifully and so does Paul Robeson. Thanks for sharing!

  • Every time I hear my beloved Paul I can feel his sympathetic personality in it.

  • He was a great man. Scholar, actor, linguist, All American football player. Not too many are this versatile.

  • Paul Robeson loved Scotland. He sang a beautiful version of the "Erisky Love Lilt" and it has been my favorite piece of music all my life.

  • This fills me with national pride on St. Andrews day, nearly a tear to my eye, my granpa seen him when he played Greenock Town Hall once n i asked him wat was he like he told me "he was big tall black as coal n' a voice sent straight from heaven above"

  • i went to Loch lomond last year and this brings back some good memorys

  • neil5568 - there is a recording of Paul Robeson singing An Ersikay Lovelilt.

  • red is the rose that in younder garden grows

  • red is the rose

  • neil 5568:

    Can't answer your question, but I can tell you you will be rewarded by Jo Stafford singing Robert Burns' poems set to music by Alton Rinker.

    Look for Songs of Scotland by Jo Stafford.

  • Did PR record any other Scottish songs

  • I think so, but I wouldn't know where to get them. I do know that he made several tours of scotland and learn gaelic, so it would surprise me if he did not.

  • Amazing voice, wonder if PR ever visited Scotland ?

  • He did, he even learned to speak and sing in gaelic! M.r Robeson was not only a wonderful singer but also a master of world languages, he could sing in more than 60 languages!

  • @MusashiTzu

    A Citizen of the World. When we are all Citizens of the World, all men will be brothers and the currency will be Love. This is what Christ lived and died for.

  • @daddio7777777

    that sounds like something a fascist dictator would say. we don't need a world government telling people how they should live their lives. I'm all for free trade, good international relations and hospitality to foreign citizens, but combining everything into one nation. hellllll no. Jesus died for our sins to be forgiven, not for the collectivist mess of a dream that is a single country governing the whole world and policing the lives of everyone based on social rhetoric

  • @raigekimaru Yay! Well said!

  • Beautiful, Love Scotland, Love Loch Lomond, Love Paul Robeson

  • I totally agree with you. Paul is still in my Heart and will always be.
