And thank you, elektrag.
It's one of those childhood things that stick with you - well, me.
Thank you!

I have always loved this song.
Hearing Caruso sing it was an experience.
Interesting that it made people think of loved ones they had lost.
Thank you!
Rod Posted Apr 7, 2009
Yes, interesting, that, dmitrigheorgheni. Its roots seem to show through.
The power of music, eh?
It was, of course, very strongly Christian/religious at the time but that doesn't spoil it (for at least one mild atheist, anyway).
Thank you!

Oh, and - where/when did you hear Caruso sing it?
I (think I) have a memory of Paul Robeson...
Thank you!
Dmitri Gheorgheni, Post Editor Posted Apr 7, 2009
It is available through one of the links in the entry.
I'm sure Robeson does a fine job, as well, though in a different key.
Key: Complain about this post
Thank you!
