One of the vocal jazz greats crossed over in 2008. There were a number of these persons who left us in 2008 (mostly in mid-December), Eartha Kitt, Miriam Makeba and trumpeter, Freddie Hubbard.
I would listen to her mostly on 33 1/3's as she was one among those singers in the civil rights days. Odetta may have visited Indianapolis at least one time during the 1960's; however, I was unable to see her in concert. Her photo is from the Ottawa Folk Festival on August 17, 2008.
She is one of the featured singers on a CD entitled "This Land is Your Land" along with the Weavers, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Kingston Trio, Judy Collins & Buffy Sainte-Marie. The CD can be found in the Children's Division of the Manhattan Public Library, Manhattan Kansas.
