Very Best Of
Paul Robeson
Paul Robeson made his theatrical debut in a Eugene O'Neill
play in London in 1922. Within a couple of years he had become
a star of the stage in both London and New York in the title role
of Emperor Jones and in 1933 repeated his performance for the
film version. In addition to his acting talents, Robeson also
possessed a superbly rich and emotive bass-baritone singing
voice, and in 1925 signed a contract with the Victor record label
and began his recording career (he also later recorded for
Columbia), with a repertoire that included a few popular songs of
the day but mainly consisted of a range of spirituals, work songs
(like Shortnin' Bread) and folk songs (like Shenandoah) that
dated back to the days of slavery (or before), many of which are
to be found on this 2CD set.
