Scandalize My Name

Listening to history on this Memorial Day. Powerful, booming and passionate bass voice singing old spirituals, folk music and protest songs from a past century.

I found this three record box set, several years ago in a local cramped, stuffy used bookstore ..... climb up a rickety spiral staircase in a dimly lit, dusty corner of the store. The sort of sounds that I just can't imagine listening to on compact disc.

Paul Robeson was an actor, college football player, activist and singer who was blacklisted in the 1950's during the McCarthy era.
