SAMUEL HALPERN
ODETTA GORDON
"I am not a real folksinger," says
Odetta. "I don't mind people calling
me that, but I'm a musical historian.
I'm a city kid who has admired an
area and got into it. I've been fortunate. With folk music, I can do my
teaching and preaching and propagandizing." Nevertheless, for three
decades, the name Odetta has been
synonymous with folksinging. Of the
black female protest singers of the
50s and 60s, Odetta is the only one
still performing regularly.
Born in Birmingham, Alabama,
Odetta was raised in Los Angeles
from age six, where she discovered
music in high school through friends.
She taught herself guitar and caught
the attention of singers like Pete
Seeger and Harry Belafonte with a
Voice once described as "all organ
songs and cathedral bells." In the
1950s — the coffee-house days — she
appeared at the Tin Angel and New
York's Blue Angel, and later went on
to night club dates, recitals at colleges
and universities, and solo concerts all
over the world. In 1974, she gave
concerts in eight Soviet cities in the
space of a month.
More recently, Odetta has performed in Arthur Miller's "The
Crucible" at Stratford, Ontario, and
made her dramatic debut in Paul
Zindel's 'The Effect of Gamma Rays
on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds."
She has performed at the world's major festivals: Newport Folk, New
Orleans Jazz and Heritage, Montreux
Jazz as hostess, Music at the Vineyards, Chattanooga Riverband, and
annually at the New York Folk
Festival.
