Leon Bibb - Rainbow Round My Shoulder

(Image taken from Wikipedia - thanks to Bucksworthy!)
This is a great song performed by Leon Bibb, an excellent folk singer.
Ripped from a vinyl entitled "The Sound of Folk Music" which is a great collection of mostly American folk music.

David Makes Man brought me here but the sorrow and pain in his voice kept me here... Peace and blessings to every single soul let love overtake you....

Ok!!!!!!! Same!!!!! I like their version better though.

Wonderful baritone singer who should never be forgotten!

The sorrow of his voice lingers in the songs. Beautiful sound. He builds on the foundation on Paul Roberson and Odette.

I so much wish I could buy "The Sound of Folk Music" and "Tol' My Captain" on digital or CD.
I've got them on vinyl, but I have no record player.

So, so good

Song that is timeless, immortal, ethereal.....figures that in the last 6 and a half years it has been clicked 2305 times. What sort of world would give Leon Bibb the attention of hundreds of millions? Not a Trump world I'd guess.

This is the song of John Henry!

[@sharonbarbour6187]

I don't think so.
It's also on his album "Tol' My Captain", which is a collection of work and prison songs.
Listening to the lyrics, it sounds like someone on a work gang in prison.
