"Ol' Man River"

[the sun and moon]

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.
