Paul Robeson - Rare TV appearance 1960

Paul Robeson performs Water Boy, Going Home and Ol’ Man River on UK TV in 1960.
After years of being denied a passport due to his political activism, Paul Robeson was allowed to leave the USA in 1958. For the next few years he performed around the world while making his base in London. Such was his reputation he headlined the UK TV show ‘Saturday Spectacular’ on October 1st, 1960.
Amazing that such a profound and moving performance was delivered on primetime Saturday night television. It's gratifying to hear the cheers in the end credits.
