R.I.P. ODETTA

When Odetta performed "57 Channels (and Nothin' On)" at Carnegie Hall's "Tribute to Bruce Springsteen" last year, she not only brought the house down, she was praised for "the greatest version of '57 Channels' ever." By the guy who wrote it. A greatly influential folk singer often called "The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement," Odetta Holmes died yesterday of heart disease at 77. Read more in the New York Times.
