I would appreciate your opinion about this singer. Thanks for your comment.

@jfsanin Ponselle was simply the greatest singer of all.

@Giovannifabuloso I agree

Old Folks at Home : my all-time favourite !~

[alternatehistories]

@jfsanin Fosters song are so unconditionally accepted by the people that they may justly be called American folk-songs. Old Folks...and "My Old Kentucky Home" are songs in which Foster touches a note so deep and so true that they would be welcomed and understood almost anywhere in the world....whatever the culture and language. Another such song is Dam Emmett's "Dixie". Oh, BTW thank you for posting this video and asking for our opinions.

Foster's music shaped my life, he was my first hero. I remember my Grandpa playing

his harmonica as we rode along the Swanee river in a horse drawn carriage with the

driver singing Stephan Foster songs. I've been playing music ever since. I love this, and what a beautiful rendition of it.

@Giovannifabuloso There was nobody greater; the great opera conductor Tullio Serafin called her one of his three "vocal miracles."

And it is quite true that Foster never saw the Suwannee--he picked the name out of an atlas and contracted it to Swanee. I have seen the river--and it's quiet,black and slow moving currents flow in perfect time to Foster's song. A very moving experience for me.

Foster's songs mean the world to me--I just had the honor of performing this and many of his others in concert--he was an amazing composer whose legacy cannot be overstated.
