In somewhere around 1973 I was sitting on a railroad tie at the South Street Seaport Museum in lower Manhattan, with my toddler in a stroller sleeping, my husband and our friends somewhere, all of us come to see Odetta perform. Ever since I first heard her perform earlier in the 1960s, I was her follower, a devoted fan. So I'm hot, exhausted, sitting there, and here she comes with several people, all walking toward the performance area. She saw me, smiled, and I have never forgotten that moment. I felt blessed.

Odetta is like a vocal wrecking ball. It's a shame hardly anyone talks about her these days. I've yet to encounter anyone in my age group that knows anything about her. Same goes for Paul Robeson. :(

Same here-I only saw a 10 second clip. Started looking for this when I watched another KZfaq video called “11 songs that were Metal before Metal was invented” or something like that. I thought-who was that lady from the Dylan special that played her guitar like a percussion instrument and barked the lyrics of her song-she was punk rock before punk rock existed and Riot Grrl before Riot Grrl existed. Took me a minute to remember her name.

I also must add-I never knew much about Miles Davis before seeing a PBS special on him this year-now I love him! Unbelievably talented. Same thing about Joni Mitchell-never listened to her until I saw the PBS special “Woman of Heart and Mind”- now I love her!!!! Keep it up PBS

I first discovered her old vinyl LPs in thrift stores when a young teen, and I heard her and thought - this woman is a genius. So happy to have seen this performance, thanks for posting.

I had the privilege of meeting Odetta in 2008 as she was performing at a concert to honor Sister Rosetta Tharpe in the Philly area. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/is-ViqSi1pzLmps.html She was among the kindest people I have ever met. She was so interested in other people. She had a gentle intensity. All the personality traits of a great leader, listener, and humanitarian. She would have been a great President.

This is not Waterboy. I don't know what song it is, but I looked up the lyrics and they don't match.

@Paroex 10 ай бұрын

It is, indeed, Waterboy. If you look at the Wikipedia article, there's a list of the many people who have covered it, including Avery Robinson in the 1920s, Odetta, and Harry Belafonte. Like all old, traditional songs, there will be many permutations of the lyrics, and no real consensus on what the "original" text was, because it grew organically and could sound different in different regions. If you look them up, there are more similarities than differences between Robinson's, Belafonte's, and Odetta's versions, because they share the same root, while not being absolutely beholden to some original blueprint.
