Way back in 1943, what was Paul Robeson´s connection with singing this song? Wasn´t Paul a American Black (opera) singer? dp
Hi, Anonymous!
Thank you for stopping by and thank you for a very interesting question!
Wasn´t Paul a American Black (opera) singer?
Yes, you are very right, dear Anonymous! Paul Roberson was absolutely incredible person! He was a great singer, an actor, traveler, fighter for civil rights... etc
Way back in 1943, what was Paul Robeson´s connection with singing this song?
"After traveling to Europe for several years in the early 1930s, Robeson was extended and accepted an offer to visit the Soviet Union. While there, Robeson was given the red carpet treatment, according to biographer Martin Duberman, including trips to the theatre, banquets, and other attractions. Robeson became captivated with this new society and its leadership, declaring "that the country was entirely free of racial prejudice and that Afro-American spiritual music resonated to Russian folk traditions. “Here, for the first time in my life ... I walk in full human dignity.”
He had been in Soviet Union several times, really. And the truth is that he loved Soviet Union and Soviet Union (people and leaders) loved him. I just talked to my Mum and she remembers him very well and still admires him as a person and as a singer :).
Stay with us, within few days we'll publish a good article about him and several good videos.
Best wishes,
