Wow. This is pretty amazing. I had no idea anything like this was in existence. The way Mance greets her with "heeeey! Mama!" So sweet. This may be the only time I can think of having heard Almeda accompanied instead of acapella. Two of my heroes on one recording. A treasure. Thank you. ❤

Very cool. But slightly disappointing that Almeda didn't bother to learn that Mance's name wasn't "Vance" in the "good long time" they'd known each other.

Quit being a dickhead. They are both like a jillion years old and people are allowed to make mistakes. Only on IdiotTube could someone not only WANT to, but also actually TAKE the time to, rain down a pitiful sprinkle shower of "I'm, just to reiterate to myself, better than all of you" horseshit. Listen man, I love you. Just relax and listen to the goddamn record and shut up. Just chill. It's gonna be okay. I promise.

I'm serious, this stuff shouldn't be tearing us apart. It should be bringing us all together.

Yanno, I'm in the south, and people just don't correct others in a rude way if they get their name wrong. I'm certain Mance didn't mind being called Vance and probably was called that by a many a soul, not just Almeda, and I'll bet you he never did once correct them. Kind souls all around.
