Many, many years ago, Paul Robeson stood with the workers on the site of the partially built Sydney Opera House
and sang this song. It's still talked about today.

2. I've heard a lot of people sing that, but never him.

Wow.

When I was a little girl I would play his Ballad for Americans every Sunday. The 78 was yellow, not black, and I kept it very carefully so nothing scratched it.

3. When I was a little girl,

I used to ask my mother to "play Paul Robeson, Mummy". She was a fan, and she had a 78 recording of "No, John, No"
that I loved. I was about four, and it's the first song I remember ever really listening to.
