This episode is a collection of three songs performed by concert singer, attorney, athlete, actor, and activist Paul Robeson. Included in his trademark baritone are the recordings of the songs "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" (1925), and perhaps his most famous recording "Ol Man River" and "I Still Suits Me" (recorded with Hattie McDaniel) from the 1936 film "Show Boat".
