The incomparable folk singer Odetta passed away this week. News reports say she was slated to sing at Obama's inauguration. Here are a few YouTube videos:
Odetta - Cotton Fields (A great version of the old Leadbelly tune.)
Odetta Playing the Guitar
Odetta - Water Boy
Odetta and Dr. John - Brother Can You Spare a Dime? (One of my all-time favorites.)
