Leon Bibb, American folk and spiritual singer, sings the traditional African-American freedom song 'Oh, Freedom' from his 1962 Washington album 'Oh Freedom and Other Spirituals.'. The song is associated with singers Odetta and Joan Baez, who sang it at many concerts and other live events - recently with Mavis Staples at her 75th birthday concert. Note that the song and video images need to be taken in the historical context of the American 1800s.
