Just as with Miriam Makeba, I am sad about the utter lack of public knowledge about her & her life.

She would visit my country when I was a baby. My dad was a Protocol officer in Guyana in the early ’70s and he would show her around Georgetown and take her to her cultural engagements and to meet dignitaries. I wish I could ask him what she was like – but he passed away earlier this year. Your previous post on Odetta really got me interested in her life story and music.

With all due respect, I can’t imagine Obama inviting her to sing at his inauguration. I don’t think her music would have appealed to most people Black or White. Still, I hope she rests in peace.

It’s about twenty minutes long. When I finished it, I found out she had died. I was crushed. Watching the video made me want to her live. She will be missed. We still have her music which is wonderful.

To say she was a great voice in the history of the Civil Rights struggle and American history is such an understatement.
