Title: "Ol' Man River"
Post by: the sun and moon on Dec 07, 2008, 06:06 PM
Is one of the best songs I've ever heard. In the past years, I've heard the Ray Charles version and couldn't keep myself from crying. Amazing. I hear Paul Robeson sings it the best, but this version from Showboat overwhelmed me so I thought I'd share.

Aretha's is pretty amazing as well, of course.
