Scandalize My Name! - Paul Robeson

Mr. Robeson sings the truth, in his own inimitable way, and what a superb rendition!

@tebindack Honored you enjoyed this post! There is simply no one like Mr. Paul Robeson. If anything, he was too talented! Maybe that's why, towards the end of his career, he was treated so poorly.

just remarkable!!

Many Thanks to You vivascargill

Mr. R. still inspires us all!

@GarwinEugeneW well said (you meant Rutgers )-- another freedom fighter noted there is cheap grace and costly grace - cheap grace is crap sold in the market place Big Paul chose costly grace "the treasure hidden in the field for the sake of it a man will gladly go and sell all that he has" He died a pauper. That is to his honor. Revolutionary freedom fighter he was ANAX ANDRON -- THE LORD OF MEN.

Great song!

@soulmziklova Not of Robeson, just on my boobs and campy stuff. All my Robeson stuff is on wikipedia and Bay Area Robeson with MUCH more to come.

[GarwinEugeneW]

@BrickLaneBetty I respect that. no doubt. pathetic not many people know about him. the man was a harvard graduate, actor, singer, athlete. could do it all. and died a pauper.

@soulmziklova ROBESON IS MY LIFE!! 1200 edits on wikipedia and going strong!!

[varadero1839]

@soulmziklova It is kind of discouraging. When, and only if you consider this, someone like a Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift could croak out anything even vaguely resembling a melody, and whose "real" voices could fit into a thimble, there would be 500,000 hits within minutes! Suggest we'll have to live with the memories of a renaissance genius! Thank you so much, and best wishes!
