African American folk, blues, jazz and spirituals singer Odetta (1930-2008) discusses her life in America, and her experiences in the music industry. An easy going interview with Celestine Ware held just before the closing of New York’s Fillmore East. She talks about Black musicians in America, her childhood, being a woman in the performing world, her metaphysical view of the human experience, and the development of her music. Odetta sings Paul McCarney’s “Every Night” which she says expresses, “where she’s at so many times.” Interview recorded at KPFA on April 14, 1971. Broadcast on KPFA on May 20, 1971
