Some people would never get the recognition for their stuff unless up to date singers bring it to the fore...?

This lady singing isn't the original singer of this song, it's a very old slave song

What happens when you abuse Devine time- murdering people... And realize songs written were so necessary- you had to go back and teach their own songs that you tried to whitewash as your own.

@scrapplepig

It's white washed so we can enjoy it.

@andonbrown385

Ok for all of you this isn't by that lady it's an old slave song that was passed down over time

The melody of this is very different from the song Gillian Welch made for the movie.

I like the Gillian welch song , but it is obvious where she took the the base of of her song from, credit should be given to the original artist and song writer

@@davycarr7026 Harriet didn't write this either. It's a traditional song that Gillian made significant enough changes to to get a writing credit on for her version.

Look up Bessie Jones - go to sleep little baby. She definitely used that Melody. Black ppl didn't have proof of the things we created so it was easy for them (whites) to steal it and remake it as their own then claim it as a "folk song". Not fooling me

One of the oldest lullabies originated from 7th century England - if you think that black people invented them in the 1930's, USA, then you need to retake common history lessons and stop caring about who invented what. We're all using them for all kids, no matter what race.

@aaron4wilkins

All the songs in that whole movie were old songs

dogsNguns bitch shut the fuck up. White people stole every damn thing.

Even that song "I'll fly away" was written by a black man. I used to think that was a white church song but it's not. Whites just remade it and rebranded. There are other examples of them doing this as well

So many racist ass people in these comments. Old folk songs cant be shared among races? Who the hell do you think you are to put ownership over something so trivial as music. There is more important things than worrying over an old song with new lyrics. White or black this should be enjoyed by everyone.
