Paul Robeson sang about Joe Hill and Old Man River. I get goosebumps listening to this amazing voice, and I'm thrilled that historians and technology have managed to save this for us to hear.
How about Mary Travers of Peter Paul & Mary now singing If I had a Hammer, Blowin' in the Wind, Where Have all the Flowers Gone? and Leaving On A Jet Plane. I wonder if, when Mary sang this one she had any thought of actually dying. And When I Die.
And my favorite for right now: Mama Cass, Mary Travers & Joni Mitchell singing I Shall Be Released
