From the 1965 album, 'Odetta Sings Dylan'. Odetta was born on New Year's Eve 1930 and passed away December 2nd, 2008. I met her at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival in 1979 when we were both performers at the three-day event. We were on the same bus from the festival grounds to the performers' hotel late on Friday night, along with members of Sweet Honey In The Rock and the bluesman, Johnny Shines, among others. Odetta led us in the singing of gospel songs and songs related to the Civil Rights movement. I took the bass part in the harmonies. After a couple songs, Odetta, who was seated directly behind me, clapped and massaged my back, saying to the others, "Did you hear this one?" It was a sweet moment for me. When I learned of Odetta's death, I remembered her hand on my back. DL

Odetta has been a well kept secret. A uniquely beautiful voice.

Such richness and profound feeling in her voice. Since that historical March in Washington, DC. we have experienced such extraordinary change in our lives. Odetta was an icon of her time.
