This is a clip from a roughly 20 minute video "Last Word: Odetta" from NY Times. The entire video (with much better resolution and audio quality than I was able to present here) is available at:

Please, go watch it! It is such a beautifully done video, of a wonderful, amazing person.

  • Odetta é uma das vozes mais poderosas da música mundial. É prato requintado para os que apreciam música de qualidade.

  • @matheusbieber007 This is my interpretation of what you have said: “Odetta is/was one of the most powerful voices in the world of song/music; it is music for those that have the courage and sensitivity to listen”. Obrigadinha :) for your beautiful words, and happiest of holidays (if you are celebrating them at this time)!

  • If I never beheld beauty before in my life then here she is. Their is no background music but I hear it. I can feel her words in my heart and all I can say is one day I can only hope to be as beautiful as she is.

  • I have this song by Louis Armstrong ("The Good Book")

  • She could be your own mother singing you a lullaby.

  • Thank you SO MUCH for providing the link to the full interview. I've got tears in my eyes, man. This woman can tie your heart strings in a knot.

  • my mother used to sing this song around the house...

  • @crazy4burrito The soul-less.

  • I can hear the moaning heart in her delivery of this song. The music filled with augmented chords! different in the fact it sounds like a death cry - longing for heaven! I heard this a lot in different words from many people this year. RDW-2010
