Odetta, singing voice of the Civil Rights movement, has died of heart disease at 77.

Oh, Freedom!  Oh, oh Freedom!
Oh Freedom over me!

EBear, being more net-savvy than me, tracked down some video clips of her songs.  A reminder of what we've lost . . .

We saw her live, somewhere around forty years ago.  Electrifying.
