practically
all of the recorded music of Paul Robeson. I think he
was the best
baritone of the early 20th century. His rendition of
"Old Man River"
is tremendous. He moved to the Soviet Union for a time,

disenchanted with the "Workers Paradise"and moved back
to the United
States. --Roger

Roger: I agree with your assessment of Paul Robeson's
talent, but when I heard him sing at a strike meeting
of the United Packing House Workers of America in
Waterloo, Iowa, he was NOT a baritone.
