Most of the folkies from the early sixties knew the name Leon Bibb. He performed at many folk festivals including the very first Newport folk festival. He appeared on the TV show Hootenanny and the Ed Sullivan TV show. He had his own NBC TV show. He moved to Canada in 1969 and in 2009, he was made a Member of the Order of British Columbia. He made 12 albums plus two albums with his son Eric. Performers in the folk genre don't become well known outside of that genre it seems. There's a saying that "Folk is a four letter word that starts with F and ends with K and if you use it, your songs won't get played on the radio."

How did never discover Mr. Bibb until now? He makes me want to be the best I can be.
Leon Bibb was quite well known back in the 50s and early 60s....his voice was phenomenal and pure and true!!!
Excellent performance ❤
Leon Bibb's music, and poetry, is all here on RUclips. Put his name in the Search bar...enjoy!
This is simply wonderful. Discovered him in the late sixties.
ERIC BIBB'S WONDERFUL FATHER--ANGELIC
This resonates more every time you revisit, so good
What a treasure
A great singer.. excellent performance!
So, so good
Powerful! Great song...
Magnificent singer, I find it hard to understand why he is not well known
He's gone now, but his son is singing and wonderful...Eric Bibb.
too magnificent for white powers to let him shine his light & make them feel lesser

@@sydneygurewitzclemens9023 --There is a video where Eric is added to Leon's soundtrack. Both have voices you can listen to all day.
