A Tribute to Odetta
The great Odetta passed away Tuesday, December 2nd. As we mourn her passing, those of us affiliated with the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function also celebrate her life, and wish to note how grateful we are that we were able to host one of Odetta's last public performances, at the Music Has Power Awards in New York City on September 8th.

The IMNF is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing scientific inquiry on music and the brain and to developing clinical treatments to benefit people of all ages suffering from neurological diseases, disorders and disabilities such as stroke, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, and traumatic brain and spinal injuries.

Her speaking voice is magical. Her singing voice is of another world. She will always be remembered as a great lady who gave of herself until she passed...singing to the end. I am blessed to have been alive during her life. Thank you for this moving video and tribute!

@gugagtl She never fails to bring me to the depth of my soul. that is a true musician - see how she is not caught up in her own singing ... how she just had to close her eyes and marinate in the sound of the others singing ... she made it about the music and not her. she is true music. i just adore her.
