Wonderful rendition of this glorious ode to the oppressed. One of the best I've heard. This man should do some more mainstream recordings. If you can sing Old Man River, you can sing the New York phonebook.

[@HamiltonProvonsha]

That soloist, man. Holy cow.

[@ericsanderson4337]

Imagine seeing this performance live... wow... truly beautiful.

Eine wunderbare Bassstimme. Ein Vorbild für mich. Ich hoffe ich bekomme das genauso hin. Ich arbeite daran.

[@yolandaharris9842]

Sing cuz.

[@volodymyrlibenson1447]

No comparison with Paul Robeson

[@nathanforeman8196]

The background fucks up the lead.

[@andrewmargrave7518]

The chorus and pianist are fine. But the arrangement is a bad idea and overblown besides. In addition, the soloist (baritone) has a bad wobble and cannot manage the low A-flats successfuly.

[@ericthompson8738]

Damn ain’t you just something.. like the next Mozart damn what a legend

[@yilmazkaramansanatolyesi]

Bad vocal . This song is musical song . İsnt opera song .

[@karensutton6830]

I agree as well. This is over sang.

[@229glock]

No emotion .... park and bark

[@brandonkeller478]

This is so bad because it’s so out of character with an ol’ slang song ... it’s like if they did this with “Yeah” by Usher

[@jackpot4597]

It is a bit too flowery and comtemporary

[@asmith8815]

With due respect, I much prefer Paul Robeson's and William Warfield's renditions.

[@erichix1645]

You’re an idiot
