I don't have more..than the 4 I'm already showing...

[wiliton]

according to a dutch newspaper (volkskrant) her whole show was playback, lip syncing. does anybody agree with that?

[Giggly]

Defenitly not! How else do you explain the talking and the different versions of the songs?

They're just jealous!

[vergeharget]

Just knocks me out. So truly not appreciated for the musical genius she is.

Brilliantly unique.

you wish there had been no applause for this. just her -- and that perfect instrument. An instrument that takes everything we go through in the human experience and wraps it in the kindest embrace anyone could ever imagine. She is one of our GREATEST national treasures!

Amazing.. was to her concert in Horsens and when she started singing this song it was like everybody was holding their breath... it was so amazing..had goose bumps all over...

Very Few singers have or ever will be in the same league as this wonderful lady, and if people cannot see her talent and loyality then they are ignorant to the rest of the worlds feelings

[Margrietje89]

The song is often classified as a "white spiritual.", 1st known printing of it is in Ananias Davisson's Kentucky Harmony, or, A Choice Collection of Psalm Tunes, Hymns, & Anthems, in Three Parts.

It's been covered by NO LESS than 31 OTHER artist from different genres. Little Sparrow, Dolly's interpretation of a female view of Life's joureny, is NOT a cover; therfore, Cook's arrangment can not be deemed a copy/cover of Frankie Laines' COVER, a man who was a hit-maker of late 40s/early 50s.

[Augustus1225]

"The Wayfaring Stranger," AKA "Poor Wayfaring Stranger,", a well-known spiritual/folk song about a plaintive soul on life's journey. The journey the singer speaks of is the trials and tribulations of life. The final reward is reuniting with loved ones in Heaven in the afterlife. It was 1 of BURL IVES'S signature songs, included on his 1944 album The Wayfaring Stranger. Ives used it as the title of his early 1940s CBS radio show & his '48 autobio. He became known as "The Wayfaring Stranger."

This is absolutely amazing. She is one of the great performers of our time, I agree. The purity and emotion of her singing on this song is astonishingly powerful.
