I was her musical director in the mid 80's and played piano with her and her band "The Nashville Huggies". (the name she gave us.) She was the most gentle, spiritual person I have ever known and it was real honor to have worked with her.
Could you tell me when and what this lovely person died of, please ???
what a voice listen to the echo stunning ,i will carry her burden
Thx for sharing Rick....
As a sound engineer I had the honor to do sound for a performance by Odetta. To say it was moving, surreal, religious, ethereal is not doing it justice. She was amazing, I knew I was in the presence of greatness. The Shure Beta 58 microphone she used has never been sung or spoken into again...
Bless you!
Man !...you did a very good job, ...apart of her unbelievable voice of course !
I am sure it was a memorable experience. I wish I had been given that opportunity. May she rest in peace.
The sure 58 is pretty basic no?
Im sure the Holy Spirit was there!!!!!!
No musician has ever brought me to tears until this very moment.
Understand your reaction to her, but you need to get out more, and listen to more music !!!!
I had the honor to work as a tour-producer for ODETTA on a couple of tours in Austria. She was one of the most amazing people I met in my life, and we had some very touching moments together. Thank you Odetta!
her voice sounds with the thousands who have come before her, releasing their voice so that they may finally sing and we may finally hear. That is soul.
I like what you just said!
well said!Beautiful
In the summer of 2008, I was road-tripping with a friend and went to Bridgeport, CT because I wanted to see the Barnum Museum. We got to town in the early evening and checked in at the Holiday Inn just down the street from the museum. Being a nice summer evening, we went out and walked around a bit, and after enjoying pizza and wine at a local spot, we came out of the restaurant and heard some music in the little public park across the street.
So we sat down on a low wall, and there were a few dozen people listening to an old woman who was singing along with a single accompanist. She had a kind of rough, honest, life-experienced voice, filled with human emotions, cracking jokes, slightly naughty as she encouraged the young folks to explore their natural urges.
Her singing presenting the human condition.
I enjoyed the concert, and at the end she invited people to buy a CD. I figured I would help out this poor old lady by buying a disk. I felt magnanimous and generous, what a nice guy I was!
Before the end of the year I heard an announcement on the radio. Odetta died in December.
"During her lifetime, she performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to bohemian nightclubs and coffeehouses and released several recordings. She became one of the most prominent folk singers of the 1950s and '60s, influencing artists such as Joan Baez, Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan, who says that her singing first turned him on to folk music."
Odetta? That's who's CD I bought at that little summer night free concert in Bridgeport.
Ain't that a-rockin'?
this beautiful daughter of america and AFRICA! odetta--no more pain, you've laid your burden down. THANK YOU for sharing your gift! HALLELUJAH
So sweet and Lovely Comment my friend . 🤠🖖
Amen and Amen !
@@cowboykelly6590 Would you be able to tell me what this beautiful person died of ??? Many thanks. From Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️
The voice coming from that frail body sends goose bumps down my spine
she speaking in angelic spiritual tongues
+ro bow Satyagraha
Satyagraha - loosely translated as "insistence on truth"
That song !!!!
That voice!!!
Long Live This Republic!!!!
Thanks for this video !!!ALL AMERICANS SHOULD LISTEN !!!!! N LEARN!!!!!!We've paid a very high price for Our Freedom!!!!
Praise God
What a voice for us people.
I've been listening her for years. Her voice is just as strong as it was 30 years ago. I just love her! RIP dear Odetta, you left an indelible mark.
La vidi tantissimi anni fa, in una trasmissione televisiva!!!, E, nonostante la situazione, mi sembro' di ascoltare un'intera orchestra, nella sua voce.
OH MY GOD!!! This woman is amazing!!! Tears to my eyes.
I had no idea this 'Pillar of Spiritual Strenght' still stood in these final days.....Her longevity is a gift along with those spirituals that come from WAY DOWN..........!PRAISE THE LORD!
Wow ! If this doesn't give you chills,check your pulse !
All my time in the military Odetta kept me alive
From the soul of all of humanity past and present
stunning and moving, She'll be remembered
My God.....i'm speechless.
I am so sad that I did not get a chance o hear her in person. What a talent!
I just dont get it. How can someone dislike this. What kind of a human being are they.
Glory glory glory, let US lay that burden down. Let US heal the pain and the hurt. There will still be hard times, there will still be death and disease, but we can still be kind to everything.
Right there is the reason I can't go to such live perfomance, I just burst out crying in puplic.
did anybody else FEEL that?? as well as hear it
Oh yes.
Only she can give it to you like this .. Africa’s orphans in the diaspora...
THANK YOU ODETTA!

Stand up put your hand on your heart and know who are in the presence of greatness.
Amen
Hats off to Odetta ||||
Mesmerizing!
Odette, I know you are in heaven singing with all God's other angels. I annot even imagine what it sounds like, but with you and the others, it is no doubt reverberating magnificent! And if I ever can go to heaven you will be the first I want to hear singing, we are lost without you.
When a artist is able to make you see pictures in your head they have a gift that goes beyond definition
praise God!
Such vocal beauty and depth of soul. Her body might have been deteriorating, but her soul was shining bright!!
We miss you so much Odetta - R.I.P. dear lady.

It's January 13, 2017 .. days away from the celebration of the life of Dr. King .. and what many of us see as the greatest threat to American democracy ever that will take place on January 20th as a new administration is legitimized. Beautiful Queen Odetta . your words shine as clear and loudly as they did when i first heard you decades ago ... and this song couldn't be more timely. Angels bless you as you pass by them on the streets of that Glorious City of God.
Don't try to use Odetta voice to legitimate your political claims. And the greatest threat to democracy is to not accept the choice of american people.
RIP, Odetta. She was truly a force and will be sorely missed.
Love
I got chills
LOVE me some Odetta !! Thanks for posting!! I had not seen this be fore now :)
This was the 5 best min of my life! Amen Odetta-hope to meet u in heaven!
A once in an era artist magnificent such passion Gods gift to us all.❤
No Words.
I heard a similar song on an old movie and looked it up found this video and as soon as I heard her singing I felt so much that I can't quit crying this is so beautiful I feel like the Lord is speaking to me
I've been listening to this at least once a month the past 5 or so years. It just comes in my spirit and I Gotta turn her on
Powerful voice. R.I.P.
Praise the Lord! She's voice is great and sounding.
Rest your beautiful soul.
In dem Alter noch so eine tolle Stimme. Ohne Musik, geht einem durch und durch. Rest in peace Odetta.
Glory be to God
everyone. we have a responsibility. this needs more views (so share it; facebook, email, co workers, friends, etc.) and LIKE THIS. amazing.
this needs a lot more views!
I felt love from that voice
Beautiful, amazing, Amen. 💞
Respeito absoluto!!!
I don’t know if I ever told you, but first about 3 years , Odetta husband, Jim Gordon, was my partner. We proudly presented “folk music concerts” all around California.
She was almost a spiritual presence…far beyond an entertainment. A force of nature
Look up “freedom” by odetta in her prime, and try your hero a tear from your eye
I moved on, and do did Dan. But I can still hear her. She died shortly after this piece
Correction: Dan Gordon, not Jim
This is truly a voice from the heavens. WOW! This stirred my soul.
Lord lift us up through all of our struggles
This is a great recording of a one of a kind singer just months before her death. I saw he once in 60s at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. She was powerful and mesmerizing. I love that this was a cappella, just a great voice and a Shure M58.
unbelievable .... such a gift for all of us!
Wow ..just ..WOW .I have no belief or religion but that sent shivers down my spine, what a voice.
She is filled with the Spirit. What a gift she has.
spike holmes :May the Lord touch you in a way that you know its him!
it ain't religion its the holy spirit!
This was eight months before her death.
Wow! A friend posted this and I loved it. So for all of those that need a bit of soulful music to soothe your mind and weary soul, have a listen you won't be disapointed.
love her cause She was so bright and tell us what importen in world
