Ironic as Robeson was a keen pacifist all of his life and these clowns at a naval base, whose business is war, are singing a great, dignified song such as this from a truly great American, who probably know very liitle about him, he suffered years of racism from the U.S state so he left to live in Wales, there's your hereos for you, hang your head in shame ass wipes.
This venue is the chapel at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis MD. It's their annual Halloween concert. The singing is real, not lipsynching. I saw the concert in 2005 in person. These midshipmen volunteer their time to put on the performances. The singer is a student at USNA.
He not lipsynching for sure, but some of the change they are kind dump, I like the original words just the way it is, and if you want to hear a good version other than Paul, there's a guy named William Warfield, he sang this in the 1951 version Showboat, you can just die crying on what he does.

Is this really his voice? He's a skinny white guy - just doesn't fit the voice.
