1016. The Power and the Glory (Phil Ochs)

[LennonsCafe]

Raymond, it is a great song and yet, most people have never heard it before. When I was listening, I just assumed that you would be an American, until I noticed some subtle words that indicated that you were from somewhere else!! You have a great voice and you sing with passion. Well done.

@LennonsCafe Unfortunately a lot of Ochs' songs are not as well known as they deserve to be. Thanks for your comments.

Excellent choice and performance, Raymond! And thanks, as always, for the accompanying history lesson! Best wishes, Tony

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, Tony. Phil Ochs wrote some excellent songs.

Well, it's not his best song in my opinion (that would be I Ain't Marching Anymore) but it's up there. I love it so much, never fails to move me.

[raymondcrooke]

That was just his own opinion. But you're right - it is a great song.

Greetings

Gentleman Raymond...

I feel as if I were transported back to Eugene's (one of those intimate and charming old subterranean coffee houses in Greenwich Village)...where so many of Phil Och's compositions were first publicly presented. Your passion-driven rendition is what brings this song back to life...with vibrant colors and vivid lyrical imagery delivered with flawless grace and integrity.

Pax,

Max
