I love this! The emotion and energy she puts into her singing makes one want to jump in the air and start praising one’s god. This is why I scroll CZcams to search for things of this nature. Thanks for posting!!
I LOVE THIS SONG..My Mom and Dad Danced to this Song back in the day....Barbara Dane is in my head...This is REAL ROCK and ROLL......It needs to come BACK!!!....WOW A Blond With A Voice Like Etta James.....Barbara Keep Singing!!!Kev
What Happened To Music?..It All Went Down The Tubes...This Is Pure Rock and Roll....And R&B..Now it is 2019 There is NOBUDDY...I Was Little When This Was Happening!!!!...Just Love It,kev
Groooooovin'. Getting ready to move to Seattle to be with the man of my dreams, and I sent him this song. Glory hallelujah, baby! I'm on my way! hahahaha
I recently saw Barbara Dane perform at the San Francisco Jazz Center (along with a couple original Chambers Brothers) for her 90th birthday! Needless to say it wasn't some UK/Euro "popcorn/mod/northern soul" event. Well, it should be needless to say that,...to an American anyway.
This song is a very old "Negro" spiritual. The original lyrics were "I'm on my way to Canaan's land". Barbara did this in 1962 (not 1960). Barb will be 90 on 5-12.
MilwaukeeMark65 -- Thanks for the accurate information. At this writing, she will be 91 in about three months. Still going strong, just like her voice. An amazing voice.
I was kinda flabbergasted when I learned that this is actually a white girl - could've fooled me and I've heard a lot of soul. Great song! Thank you very much for posting!
Yes, this is the early I-hate-the-capitalist-system-Barbara-Dane! I wish, she had already sung lyrics like that in her early days ;-) Great popcorn classic here anyway!
Native Americans taught Europeans how to survive here in my Americas when they first arrived here 527 years ago and the Africans in America built the entire USA for Free through blood sweat and tears i,m Narragansett American Indian mix with that Mighty African and i love all good people but in short i been here since the iceage until it melted into slavery PEACE
Catching up on R& B that I missed as A War Baby in Oz. American music reminded me of my rascally father's country. AND then the British Musical Invasion took place...Americans turned their backs (mainly) on their own music. Two Limey Bands became the biggest ev=ah acts in music !!! I say !!!
bill, is this one sped up lightly? other songs her voice sounds lower and the tempo is slower. another one I've been listening to nonstop for 5 years. even if it is its better this way.
I realize you made this comment years ago, but in 2018 Smithsonian/Folkways put out a Barbara Dane compilation. However if you're expecting it all to sound like this particular track you may be surprised. Most of her stuff is already available however.
I'm on my way and I won't turn back. I'm on my way and I won't turn back. I'm on my way great God I'm on my way. I'll ask my brother come go with me. I'm on my way great God I'm on my way. If he won't come I'll go alone. I'm on my way great God I'm on my way. I'll ask my sister come go with me. I'm on my way great God I'm on my way. If she won't come I'II go anyhow. I'm on my way great God I'm on my way. I'm on my way to the freedom land. I'm on my way great God I'm on my way. I'm on my way and I won't turn back. I'm on my way great God I'm on my way.
This is the song I listened to that gave me the courage to leave my abusive husband. That was 7 years ago. I still love this song.
If you need it- Northern Soul has it! Love from Chicago!

this song makes me hit the forward button until the replay button, then i repeat it again one and one many times more. :)
after a couple of repetitions you may still enjoy hearing the song, but your attention is diminished.
This song is a very old "Negro" spiritual. The original lyrics were "I'm on my way to Canaan's land". Barbara did this in 1962 (not 1960). Barb will be 90 on 5-12.
Happy Birthday then...

This is from 1960. It's her album version that was from 1962.

⭕ Music!
I'd say yes.Go gree.
Catching up on R& B that I missed as A War Baby in Oz. American music reminded me of my rascally father's country. AND then the British Musical Invasion took place...Americans turned their backs (mainly) on their own music. Two Limey Bands became the biggest ev=ah acts in music !!! I say !!!
bill, is this one sped up lightly? other songs her voice sounds lower and the tempo is slower.
another one I've been listening to nonstop for 5 years. even if it is its better this way.
this is REAL Rock And Roll...Fantasic...This Is Prof There is no Music Now 2019....This Should Be Played,Kevin
There's still plenty of good and bad music being made now, just as it was back then. Grow up.
Yeah Right! LP Jan

too bad someone like Rhino Records doesn't put together a good B. Dane anthology...
I realize you made this comment years ago, but in 2018 Smithsonian/Folkways put out a Barbara Dane compilation. However if you're expecting it all to sound like this particular track you may be surprised. Most of her stuff is already available however.
any chance you could post the b-side? i'd love to hear it but i have no clue how to track it down other than spening a couple hundred bucks on this 7"
b side is on youtube too, its go 'way from my window
Ray Charles must have been popcorn music, too. But classy and sexy are not limitations to something soulful.
Block and twist
2:32 😘
So is this slightly sped up or are all the other versions wrong?
Could possibly be....tend to speed it up when djing so might have given it a few percent on here...:)
@@cadlagh1 i like it better your way. its become quite my life's mission to find my own copies of these for myself. really want that five splendors!
Sound a bit like the Sidewinder, Lee Morgan , Blues, Gospel and jazz..
