| Paul Robeson |
Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child
|
Spirituals | Columbia | song orig issued in 1946 on 78 RPM record on Columbia Records / Robeson was born in 1898 in Princeton, NJ. He was the son of a runaway slave. He was a star athlete at Rutgers University. celebrated American singer, actor, and black activist. The son of a former slave turned preacher, Robeson attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J., where he was an All-America football player. Upon graduating from Rutgers at the head of his class, he rejected a career as a professional athlete and instead entered Columbia University. He obtained a law degree in 1923, but, because of the lack of opportunity for blacks in the legal profession, he drifted to the stage, making a London debut in 1922. He joined the Provincetown Players, a NY theatre group that included playwright Eugene O’Neill, and appeared in O’Neill’s play "All God’s Chillun Got Wings" in 1924, in O’Neill’s "The Emperor Jones" in NYC in 1924 and in London in 1925. He also starred in the film version of the play in 1933. In addition to his other talents, Robeson had a superb bass-baritone singing voice & in 1925 he gave his first vocal recital of African American spirituals in Greenwich Village and he became world famous as Joe in the musical play Show Boat with his version of “Ol’ Man River.” His characterization of the title role in "Othello" in London (1930) won high praise, as did the Broadway production (1943), which set an all-time record run for a Shakespearean play on Broadway. For more info on Robeson, check out his book, "Here I Stand" (Thanks to listener RaulRobeson1923 for the info!) & the 1999 documentary of the same name. | 0:52:06 (Pop-up) | |||||
| Mahalia Jackson |
Summertime/Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child
|
Bless This House | Columbia | 1956 | piece features Ralph Jones on organ & Midred Falls on piano / Born in New Orleans in 1911, Mahalia Jackson grew up in a shotgun home shared by 13 people. Raised by her Aunt Duke after her mother died in 1917, economic circumstances forced Jackson to quit school and work at home when she was in 4th grade. Jackson found her greatest inspiration at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, where she sang on Wednesday, Friday, and four times on Sunday. Even at age 12, her powerful voice could be heard all the way to the end of the block. Ever lifting her spirit through church and its music, Jackson joined the Greater Salem Baptist Church and began touring with the Johnson Brothers, Chicago's first professional gospel group. As a "fish and bread" singer, Jackson performed for donations in storefront churches, basement halls, and other makeshift venues. During this period, Jackson made a vow that she would live a pure life, free of secular entertainment. She promised to use her voice for spiritual song — a promise that she kept. In 1954, Jackson signed with Columbia Records and recorded Bless This House. The first of her 30 albums for the label, it included traditional numbers such as "Down By the Riverside," two compositions by her old friend Thomas Dorsey, and a spiritual version of Gershwin's "Summertime." Mahalia Jackson's struggle with racism had urged her to get involved in the Civil Rights movement at its onset. Leader Reverend Ralph Abernathy invited Jackson to Montgomery to sing at the 1st anniversary of Rosa Parks' historic act. Braving hecklers, Klansmen, and widespread violence, Jackson rolled into Montgomery on a train. At the station, Abernathy greeted her with another young preacher named Martin Luther King. Though she was afraid for her safety, King's speeches inspired her, and the two became friends.Jackson's final performance was in Germany in 1971. | 0:54:58 (Pop-up) | ||||

| Odetta |
Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child
|
Odetta At Carnegie Hall | 1963 | Born in 1930 in segregated Birmingham, Alabama, contralto/guitarist Odetta Holmes moved as young girl with her family to Los Angeles. At age 13, she began voice training, singing German lieder and art songs in private opera lessons and performing in choirs and theater ensembles. As a young adult during the folk music revival of the mid-1950s and ’60s, she began a career that had her performing in San Francisco at the War Memorial Opera House and clubs like the Tin Angel on the Embarcadero. She also appeared on the East Coast in NYC nightclubs and on tour in venues worldwide. She performed on prime-time television as a featured star in friend and admirer Harry Belafonte’s groundbreaking specials, and singing in support of the civil-rights movement at the 1963 March on Washington and the Selma-to-Montgomery march. The appearances earned for Odetta the titles “Queen of Folk” and “The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement.” Belafonte favorably compared her voice to that of Paul Robeson and said, “Her voice is enormous. And the depth and range of it is never-ending.” In 1999, she received the National Medal of the Arts and Humanities from President Clinton. For more info on Odetta, check out Ian Zack's book, "Odetta: A Life in Music and Protest". | 2:53:20 (Pop-up) | |||||

Good history writing is discovering the intersection of history and biography. The sociological imagination (1959) enables us to grasp history and biography and the relations between the two within society.
