Digging Odetta the Queen of Folk

I have a real affection for the criminally under rated Odetta.  She is cited as a leading influence on the folk revival of the 1960s and is acknowledged as an inspiration to many singers, writers and members of the civil rights movement.  She needs however to be more widely known, celebrated and revered by my own generation I think for her musicality, her soul and her humanity.
