So what is accurate. Human emotions range and never stop nor cease.

@ratiman And doesn't your comment spell out "so what?" Assuming this were the real world; would the interest of a young woman for a handsome singer be so abnormal? If you have something else to say, please let us know.

2:12 I'd say I'm pretty good at reading people. Doesn't her facial expression spell out 'lust'?

@varadero1839 In '35 & '36, the technology didn't allow for enuff "Dynamic Range" to properly reproduce sound...That's why some of the orchestral passages sound distorted. During WW2, better tubes were developed, & by '56, they had almost good "Hi-Fi" as we have today. And, of course, stereo was just around the corner in '56, by '66 it was in full bloom.

@chg657 What an unusual notice! I think that we'd have been blown out of the back of the set if they'd used those techniques back then. Have to agree with you though; it would have made for a great performance! The scary part is what probably would have happened to the audio equipment given Paul's voice. I see things melting, with sparks, and even worse! I'm honored to hear from you! Thanks once more!

Imagine what this would have sounded like if it had been recorded in 1956 or 1966 instead of antebellum 1936, w/the primitive technology of the day. Still, the power & majesty of Robeson's voice comes thru..

@HowlinWilf13 Yes. The very heart of the song. Gets me every time he does this part.

"I'm lonely and sad as can be. Got no pal to shout a hello to, its only my shadow and me". Mesmerising!

@varadero1839 I most certainly enjoyed it. Thank you.

@spikemoe1 Hi spikemoe1, This is from "Song of Freedom," a British production, 1936. Hope you enjoyed it! Best regards!

What movie is this from?

Wonderful voice.

You are welcome. If anyone were to try and track down this performance and perhaps its reviews, it was a concert at Middlesbrough Town Hall, in the 1930s. It was a cherished memory because they felt that Mr. Robeson, in a still class conscious England, would treat them with such recognition of their musical appreciation, and they mentioned how very personable a performer he was.

What an amazing tribute to Mr. Robeson! His generosity was always part of his superb talent. Given his scholastic, athletic and vocal accomplishments, he still remained a relatively "down-to-earth" person. He just happened to be genius!! Thank you so much for your enlightening remarks!

My parents saw Paul Robeson in England at a concert, but could only afford the cheap seats at the back of the stage. After intermission, Maestro Robeson turned his back to the more expensive audience seats and sang the whole second half of his concert to those sitting in the cheap seats. No wonder he was so controversial, and so loved!
