Hail to the Queen


Before Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, and even Bob Dylan. There was Odetta. Seen in the eyes of many as the God Mother to American folk music scene. Dr. King called her the "Queen of Folk Music". Odetta's performance at the 1963 March on Washington is cemented in the history of the struggle for civil rights.
