A great entertainer who used his world celebrity to fight for the freedom of all people on the globe--despite being persecuted by the U.S. government and blacklisted by the U.S. mass media corporations in the 1950s.

As it has been uttered through out the history of this shout box - so few plays 81k at time of writing ... it really does maze me how so many can be infatuated by the lure of lesser artists (the hype, the dress whatever the foam may be...) and swell their scrobbs well into the millions and such a collosus as Robeson remains so unplayed...

@saint_glook - the most well known version of 'Sixteen Tons is by Tennessee Ernie Ford (recorded in 1955)

Maybe try looking on YouTube for The Platters version, see if it sounds the same.

can anyone help me? did he sing the "Sixteen Tons"? I've got an mp3, tagged "Paul Robeson - Sixteen Tons", but I don't think that was his voice... some people say those song is by the Platters... can anyone tell me the truth? PS: sorry for my english...
