In 1945, ASCH records recorded a 78 rpm 4 record album set with Langston Hughes reciting his own poems. This is part 1 of 4 parts from that album, each part being both sides of one of the records in the album.

This record contains:

NEGRO DREAMS OF RIVERS
MOTHER TO SON
MA LORD
I, TOO, SING AMERICA
TO CAPTAIN MULZAC (first African-American to make ships Captain-1942)

Poignant, from a perspective not too common when these poems were written.

This is an historic compilation. Enjoy!

  • I love the way you place voice in the the victrola's voice....spreading the inspiration, and poetic vision of the Langston Hughes mother to son.

    I have a version that you may like as well.
