WE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT BROTHER was written & 1'st sang by Huddie William Ledbetter. Paul Robeson, Introduced this song to lt. Dr. Bhupen Hazarika. In New York he befriend Paul who influenced him for this song to record.
His song BISTIRNO DUPARE [ GANGA BEHTI HO KYUN ] is also based on the imagery and theme of Robeson's " Ol' Man River ".
the best thing is both the song he sang It in his own style.
Yikes, this recording is really sped up and the pitch is too high. The song is originally by Leadbelly who was friends with Paul Robeson. I believe it was Robeson who introduced the song to Bhupenda when they got to know each other during Hazarika's days at Columbia (along with "Ol' Man River")
