Paul Robeson - Loch lomond

The most powerful of western basses with the darkest timbre. Along with the most fluid legato and natural beauty of ANY singer I ever heard.

Did PR record any other Scottish songs

[MusashiTzu]

I think so, but I wouldn't know where to get them. I do know that he made several tours of scotland and learn gaelic, so it would surprise me if he did not.

[fergiewergie]

Amazing voice, wonder if PR ever visited Scotland ?

[MusashiTzu]

He did, he even learned to speak and sing in gaelic! M.r Robeson was not only a wonderful singer but also a master of world languages, he could sing in more than 60 languages!

[ScottishCCRfan]

This fills me with national pride on St. Andrews day, nearly a tear to my eye, my granpa seen him when he played Greenock Town Hall once n i asked him wat was he like he told me "he was big tall black as coal n' a voice sent straight from heaven above"

[Hannes2k]

Without Thee is another scottish folk song Robeson did. Ain't on youtube but you can find his rendition of the song on Live at the Peave Arch recordings. This is truly awesome!

that sounds like something a fascist dictator would say. we don't need a world government telling people how they should live their lives. I'm all for free trade, good international relations and hospitality to foreign citizens, but combining everything into one nation. hellllll no. Jesus died for our sins to be forgiven, not for the collectivist mess of a dream that is a single country governing the whole world and policing the lives of everyone based on social rhetoric

A Citizen of the World. When we are all Citizens of the World, all men will be brothers and the currency will be Love. This is what Christ lived and died for.

[MrNikodemus2]

the greatest!

[billymonkeyreed]

Never heard this song sang better.

[vampirellella]

one of the best singers  of all time

[Garcia42]

Robeson is tremendous

it's so real

so lacking in most contempo singers

[GYLEN1234]

For us Scots he does us a great honour . Do you hear the Burrr as he sings the words "aforrrre ye " and "parrrted" .....simply the best . Ach , I'm convinced he was born and bred in Argyll .
