Seen her face in Black History Month not knowing who she was but after listening to her I've I know now what an angel sound like. Thank you. Miss Anderson God bless you... for your contribution to the world...

She came home, she showed 'm, and she conquered. Home from being trained & fêted in Europe to racist and hating US where she's really not welcome, and offers these precious, rare pearls to swine. The opening moments are spine chilling - a beautiful, imposing contralto, rich and deep and filled with spirit and emotion, now gloriously trained and refined into what was one of the very greatest voices of the 20th C. Delightful collateral damage was that she needed to argue nothing - her sound and artistry made fools of, and shamed, the white establishment of the time. The sheer, powerful beauty of her voice conquered. She was among the very greatest Americans.

My mom loved listening to her on the radio.

Amazing and incredible voice! She was unique and a great artist.

She had a gorgeous voice and so well trained.

오 마리안 앤더슨, 젊은 시절의 목소리인것 같아요. 풍부한 성량의 콘토랄토 목소리가 마음을 설레게 합니다.

OMG, her rendition of "They crucified my lord"!

A really remarkable piece of 'the history of music'. Please can others collect more Marion Anderson film snippets and save them for all of us to wonder at.

i have no word to explain what i feel...

BRILLIANT!

Thank God for this beautiful footage! An original ground breaking diva. This is incredible, & I absolutely love it! OMG'oodness!

Marion Anderson .... A voice for the ages! What a blessing! WFL-Atlas

Wow this is a priceless piece of jewel, an artistic marvel! Thank you so much for this video, I'm really flabbergasted!

Me sorprende que este maravilloso documental apenas haya recibido visitas... Marian Anderson es una de las mayores glorias del arte del canto ... La contralto de timbre quizá más bello que se recuerde (la otra voz de contralto inolvidable fue la de K. Ferrier)... Siempre que la escucho no es sólo una conmoción estética, sino también espiritual... Sublime.

What a GREAT Voice.! A wonderful piece of history...

Excellent video, thank you.

Wow!

I don't know why I've always thought She was a graduate of Howard University. It's amazing that she didn't attend college formally, but received several honorary doctorate degrees. You go, Ms. Anderson!

BIG UP RESPECT !!!!
