One of his best known recordings, yet this is the first comment. How is this?

Amazing voice!

This is real singing.

Not the overdone singing on American Idol.

Paul Robeson has more Talent than all the idols put together!

Meaningful, beautiful intonation and enunciation of Mr. Robeson imbues this song of encouragement and endurance with a solemn, respectful gravity that communicates the internal depth it traverses without overworking the material. Classic. Canon. Perfect. (that said, I could have done w/out the piano, but whatcha gonna do?)

Whenever I'm feeling down, I just plug this into my stereo and jam along with some bluesy trumpet and the whole world brightens up

A genious way ahead of his time, but not even opression and racism made him stop being the brightest star in the clearest sky.

if you ever want to feel grounded again, listen to this song, and understand the solidity and important things in life.

Amen Brother, say it like it is!

@MySerpentine Perhaps the last couple of generations have never heard of him, but I was playing his records in the late 30s on a wind up gramophone. Saw him in a film in which he played a coal miner in a Welsh village, and his rendition of 'All through the night' is the best I ever heard.

I have a large family, and while my grandkids may not be fans of Paul Robeson, they most certainly have heard of him. Nothing can bury or delete from history his great personality or his magnificent voice.

I am a 60+ white guy, fortunate to have been raised "color blind" & to have listened to Paul since the 50s. Paul's lyric version "Old Man River" was the first song I sang as a performance. The music of his many songs speaks volumes about dealing with adversity.

Be it slave masters, weather, cancer, or any other source, there are things outside of our control. The character of his music fits with the saying:

Pain and suffering are inevitable; misery is optional

Love long, Love strong

@JohnnyElvis1935 And in his little toe, nonetheless. Lets not forget the toe.
