im 12, i rather listen to this real music then the stuff the put up now. things like the black eyed peas and kesha give music a bad name while things like crosby and dean martin make it the world.

@BryZhane Then you shouldnt and put things into context with the times. Bing if you read about him was very progressive in his offices especially by hiring "African American" as you say when nobody did at decent wages also homesexuals and women as well. You can read a song many ways, making bing a racist in any mind would just be incorret

This version loses the passion that people like Paul Robeson put into it, I like Robeson's version better but this one's still really good.

@sexibeast965 Get over yourself. Music is a matter of opinion

@JSantoroify Actually, the song was written in 1927 by a white man for a musical.

@romuluscreative i don't think he's being racist truely the song is a slave spiritual and african americans sing with their own style a soul.not an opinion just a fact.

This song is from a musical called "Show Boat."

@Mortdahicken1 Why quote Shakespeare? Quoting Shakespeare doesn't make you appear to be more intelligent, actually makes you appear to be a try hard loser. Also, your attack against sexibeast, who the hell cares if they ain't 12 years old, just disregard the "im 12" because what is said after that is what is important.
