Ol' Man River by Paul Robeson on Showboat 1936 Paul Robeson sings Ol' Man River (Showboat - 1936). I'm reading the book right now. Interesting thing is that Edna Ferber tells that Negroes (that's the way she says) use she and her to describe the Mississippi River and Indians use he and his. But Paul Robeson says: Ask the river. He (not she) knows everything. Ask the old river what he thinks He knows all about them, boys He knows all about everything Dare's an ol' man cal'd de Mississipi Dat's de ol' man dat I'd lek to be Whot does he care iv de world gets trauble Whot does he care iv de land lev's free. Ol' man river, Dat ol' man river He mus'know sumpin' But don't say nuthin', He jes'keeps rollin' He keeps on rollin' along. He don' plant taters, He don't plant cotton, An' dem dat plants'em is soon forgotten, But ol'man river, He jes keeps rollin'along. You an'me, we sweat an' strain, Body all achin' an' racket wid pain, Tote dat barge! Lif' dat bale! Git a little drunk An' you land in jail. Ah gits weary An' sick of tryin' Ah'm tired of livin' An' skeered of dyin', But ol' man river, He jes'keeps rolling' along. [Colored folks work on de Mississippi, Colored folks work while de white folks play, Pullin' dose boats from de dawn to sunset, Gittin' no rest till de judgement day. Don't look up An' don't look down, You don' dast make De white boss frown. Bend your knees An'bow your head, An' pull date rope Until you' dead.) Let me go 'way from the Mississippi, Let me go 'way from de white man boss; Show me dat stream called de river Jordan, Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross. O' man river, Dat ol' man river, He mus'know sumpin' But don't say nuthin' He jes' keeps rollin' He keeps on rollin' along. (Long ol' river forever keeps rollin' on...) He don' plant tater, He don' plant cotton, An' dem dat plants 'em Is soon forgotten, but ol' man river, He jes' keeps rollin' along. (Long ol' river keeps hearing dat song). You an' me, we sweat an' strain, Body all achin an' racked wid pain. Tote dat barge! Lif' dat bale! Git a little drunk An' you land in jail. Ah, gits weary An' sick of tryin' Ah'm tired of livin' An' skeered of dyin', But ol' man river, He jes'keeps rollin' along! Tags: Ol' Man River Paul Robeson Showboat 1936

Paul Robeson - Ol' Man River (1928) OL' MAN RIVER (Jerome Kern & Oscar hammerstein II) Orchestra: Not given by EMI! Recorded 15 May, 1928 NOTE: Recording date 5/15/28 is probably correct as give by EMI. (They're the experts.) Why they don't credit the orchestra is incomprehensible. EMI is about to release the complete Robeson recordings, 1928 - 1939. Hopefully they will give orchestral accompaniment for all. This is an expensive CD set, costing about $60.00. On 6/30/08, it was still a "pre-order" on Amazon. Other 1928 recordings of 'Ol Man River by Robeson: * Victor 32912, charted 6/02/28 with Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra * Victor C-1505 Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra Ol' Man River" (music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II) is a song in the 1927 musical Show Boat, that tells a melancholy story of African American hardship and struggles of the time, related to the endless flow of the Mississippi River, from the view of a dock worker on a showboat. It is the most famous song in the show. It is sung complete, once, by the dock worker "Joe" who travels with the boat, and is re-sung three times more in brief reprises. The song is notable for several aspects: the lyrical major-key melody, the subjects of toil and social class, metaphor to the Mississippi, and as a musically rare bass solo (more common for baritones or tenors). "Ol' Man River" is sung first by Joe and a male chorus, and reprised by Joe and full chorus in the final scene, but twice reprised by him as a solo. He serves as a sort of musical one-man Greek chorus, and the song, when reprised, comments on the action, as if saying, "This has happened, but the river keeps rolling on anyway". --VARIOUS VERSIONS-- The song was first performed in the original stage production of Show Boat on December 27, 1927 by Jules Bledsoe. However, the most famous rendition of it, one that is still noted today, was sung by Paul Robeson in James Whale's 1936 film version of Show Boat (Robeson had first performed the song in the 1928 London production of the show and in the 1932 Broadway revival, and had even recorded it with Paul Whiteman's orchestra back in 1928).

Paul Robeson Tribute Here is a famous song performed live in Moscow in 1949 by the legendary Paul Robeson. Paul Robeson (1898 -- 1976) was an American actor, athlete, singer, writer, civil rights activist, and a great humanist. Son of a slave, Paul graduated with honors from his high school in Somerville, New Jersey, where he excelled academically, and participated in singing, acting, and athletics. Robeson later studied law at Columbia and African history and languages at the School of Oriental and African Studies of London. Robeson found fame as an actor and singer with his fine bass-baritone voice. He is one of the few true basses in American music, his beautiful and powerful voice descending as low as a C below the bass clef. In addition to his stage performances, his renditions of old Negro spirituals were acclaimed. Robeson also became interested in the folk music of the world. He came to be conversant with 20 languages, fluent or near fluent in 12. His standard reportoire after the 1920's included songs in many languages (e.g., Chinese, Russian, Yiddish, German, etc.). Between 1925 and 1942 Robeson appeared in eleven films, in the UK and the USA ("Song of Freedom", "The Proud Valley", "The Emperor Jones", "Show Boat", "King Solomon's Mines", "Jericho", etc.). In June 1949 during the 150th anniversary celebration of the birth of Alexander Pushkin, Robeson visited Russia to sing in concert and was given a warm public welcome. Robeson remains a celebrated figure in Wales. A number of Welsh artists have celebrated Robeson's life. In 1958, Robeson's 60th birthday was celebrated in several US cities and twenty-seven countries across Europe, the Soviet Union, Latin America, Asia and Africa. Over 3000 people gathered in Carnegie Hall to salute Robeson's 75th birthday, including Dizzy Gillespie, Odetta, Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte (who also produced the show). In 1976, at the age of 77, Paul Robeson died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was interred in the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. In 1998, he received a Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement. In 2004, the United States Postal Service honored Robeson with a stamp in the Black Heritage Series. Listen to Paul Robeson's deep voice and enjoy this fantastic performance! Tags: Paul Robeson
