The very Best of Paul Robeson

The Very Best of Paul Robeson\n\nFactory Sealed\n\n \n\n \n\nPaul Robeson made his theatrical debut in a Eugene O'Neill play in\nLondon in 1922. Within a couple of years he had become a star of the stage in\nboth London and New York in the title role of Emperor Jones and in 1933\nrepeated his performance for the film version. In addition to his acting\ntalents, Robeson also possessed a superbly rich and emotive bass-baritone\nsinging voice, and in 1925 signed a contract with the Victor record label and\nbegan his recording career (he also later recorded for Columbia), with a\nrepertoire that included a few popular songs of the day but mainly consisted of\na range of spirituals, work songs (like Shortnin' Bread) and folk songs (like\nShenandoah) that dated back to the days of slavery (or before), many of which\nare to be found on this 2CD set.\n\nDISC 1\n\n1.
