Search - George Gershwin, Welsh Traditional, Eric Ansell :: The Peerless Voice of Paul Robeson: The Man They Couldn't Silence

One of the truly great voices of the century, Robeson spoke out against racism and social injustice, to the extent he became politically suspect and pretty much unemployable in the US. Coming to Britain, he not only starred in one of the earliest Hammer Films, but was one of the original talkie stars of Ealing studios. These adventures in Europe, filmic and triumphantly on the concert stage were brought to an end when the US government actually confiscate his passport! Eventually, Robeson actually beat J.Edgar Hoover, and for many years, he was to be a worldwide superstar and headliner of Eistedfodds. So here is a taste of the voice of the 20th century, the man they couldn't silence: Paul Robeson. Beautifully remastered with lovely artwork and detailed liner notes. This is a must for all lovers of a great voice and for those concerned with social justice. 28 tracks. Rev-Ola. 2007.
