This was released on an album of her spirituals in the early 1960s. My parents purchased this album, and I also have a CD of it. She was one of the most talented women ever! And the cd also features a recording of her singing "Go Down Moses" which was recorded in the 1920s with a subdued organ in the background.

I thought I recognized the narrator, just couldn't remember the name. It's funny how I remember all these people in black & white & their voices. I was just a kid at the time.
She has beautiful ethic features to match that beautiful voice. Wow she's fabulous! She's like a former version of Felicia Rashad, with regards to her grace & beauty. I love her hair. She reminds me of my mother.
I'm glad there are so many recordings and videos of this legendary singer. Aside from breaking the color barrier for African American classical artists, she was the most rare voice type....a true contralto. Most contralto rep is sung my mezzos trying to sing too low and dark. I wish there was video of her Met debut as Ulrica.
I was listening to Christmas music on KUSC Christmas morning and they played a version of this simple spiritual performed by Jessye Norman and Kathleen Battle with an orchestra and choir conducted by James Levine. I had the good fortune to stumble on this wonderful interpretation by Marian Anderson. She’s able to connect the words with the music in a way that Norman and Battle don’t. It’s a very special artist that can put the meaning of song before the sound of their own voice
Her voice. Straight from heaven. Sang like a nightingale. Beautiful, beautiful Marian Anderson. Performed this song like no other with Feelings, deep from her soul and she was full of humility. She took good care of herself till a full age on Earth. Wish others can follow her in that respect! Blessed be this beautiful woman. Peace and blessings be upon God’s angel Marian.
We used to sing this song in church in Ireland. Brought back memories. What a woman. When I saw the video of her singing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, it was breath taking. How life had changed for her. Thank you Eleanor Roosevelt for seeing her as a person, and not her colour. It's unfortunate times changed even more after that. Always made me feel sick. White people took over the native americans and bought/ brought slaves in. WHY? We do not deserve this planet. We all bleed the same colour. Make love, not war. RIP Marian Anderson
That's cool. My childhood fellowship too. I love her voice, I can listen for hours. Did you know that there is no such thing as white people? We are all different beautiful shades of brown because of the melanin in our skin. I have Irish heritage as well as First people of the Americas. Many Irish were indentured servants/slaves here in the states. Native Americans made slaves of each other. Any people doing it is not good. It is terrible what happened to the first peoples, they were out-numbered because their numbers died down before anyone even got here. There should have been a way to keep the bad & greedy people from taking over. Sadly, it didn't happen. 😢 Slavery is worse when it's institutionalized in a nation. People are still being trafficked now by individuals & trafficking rings, it's just rarely in the open. Thanking God slavery is no longer institutionalized in this nation! And that we have some godly leaders who believe & make successful efforts to stop the ongoing trafficking of human beings.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this video with us! I love Marian Andersen's voice and never thought I'd be able to come across any live video because of her years active..... And here it is!! I fell in love with her voice the moment I heard her sing ("Caro mio ben", no less) Wonderful stuff!
I came back to find the comment of the person who thought "little bits a baby" sounded wierd. It's missing now? I was going to tell them that "little bit" in history was just an endearing affectionate term, usually for a little person or animal. It was just meant to make them feel special. I heard it used when I was a child. Marianne used this term when she personalized the song. I searched alot for the history, but couldn't find much. I do remember the term from historical type black white films. I'm almost positive it was mentioned in a Welsh/Irish type film. Example: "... just a little bit of a girl." Or "..he's a little or wee bit of a dog." describing those who were small.
You say “for a 1900s-1800s opera singer” as if opera singers from that time period don’t collectively have a better quality of sound than modern opera singers. It’s a backhanded compliment.
Super talented but I cant help feel pretty unwell when I hear 'little bits of baby in his hand' 1m11s. Obviously if you're going to have the whole the whole world in your hand it will inevitably involve all the bits of people, including babies, but holy shit :|

How dare you insult one of the greatest and most influential contraltos in recent history! She does not have a "sili" voice! She is a dramatic contralto, which is the lowest(and most powerful) of the female voices.

What a dramatic and powerful version of this simple song by a woman whose voice and struggle inspired the world!
Tremendous! 'He's got the lying man, right in his hands.... ' looks like the words were changed .. along the the way and verses left out ...

@@brendaann727 You remember them because they were truly GREAT. 😃
When she got to the liars and gamblers I got literal chills.... God has us all, sinners, saints, good, bad, all of us
Marian Anderson’s voice was so beautiful that it was ethereal.
ethereal is the perfect word for Marian
SHE WAS MARVELOUS. SHE WAS A GIFTED SOUL. SHE SANG FROM THE HEART. WHAT AN INSPIRATION.
Grande dame de la chanson ❤️

I’ve always loved this song as a child not knowing it’s origin.. thank you for sharing🙏🏾💙
Same, I used to sing it in church growing up in ireland. amazing

You are so correct, sir!
She was so beautiful and elegant, a true Queen.

Very soulful, she sings from her heart.
This is the song that I first heard Marion Anderson sing. I love her voice.
