WTF... rude ignorant people yelling out and screaming because THEY want to hear themselves. Try that on Broadway and you would be thrown out.

Spine chilling!! RIP This Symphony Orchestra is incredible. As for James Hyter, what a voice, it's saddening to know that he is no longer with us. I'm also saddened to learn that Maestro Balter is also no longer with us. R.I.P. Mr. James Hyter and Maestro Alan Balter.

I met Mr. Hyter back in 2001 when the Memphis Symphony and Chorus performed Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms" at Eudora Auditorium. He was such a gracious and dignified southern gentleman. I told him how much I loved hearing him sing "Ol' Man River" and expressed what a disgrace it was that he was no longer allowed to sing that wonderful song for Memphis in May Sunset Symphony. He told me he missed doing it. Many, many years ago Alan Balter brought the Memphis Symphony to the National Guard armory in Bolivar, TN and my family and I went to see the show. I met Alan. He too was such a nice man.

I love this! Thank you. Many years ago got to hear him sing this at the closing of Memphis in May but it several years earlier. Mr. Hyter singing that song (along with the orchestra) was a huge event at MIM. What a voice!

He took all the racial elements out of the song, but the song was about slaves working on the Mississippi from Hannibal or S. Louis, MO to New Orleans.

I have loved this song ever since I heard PAUL ROBESON sing it in SHOWBOAT in 1956 I was 5 Years old, it has remained with me my whole life and I would play it for democrats to let them know that we know what they were all about and what they did with our African-American brothers and sisters and now this man has re-vamped it and it’s just as beautiful now as it was when I first heard it this man is just awesome thank you so much kind sir ❤

I remember watching that performance on TV at my Great Grandmother's house, with her and my Grandmother. They televised the Sunset Symphony then, I don't think they even have it anymore. So bittersweet, there won't be another like Mr. Hyter! I doubt that song would be allowed to be sung today, with all the political correctness, I'm sure someone would be offended.

I first saw and heard Paul Robeson sing this song in the movie when I was a young boy in the early 1950s. The movie was in color that time. Happy to have seen it on Turner several times. Makes me cry to imagine the pain and suffering of too many black folks.

We sang this song on jump run when skydiving just before we jumped out of a perfectly good airplane and needlessly risked our lives. Oh wait, we were singing "Down by the River". Nevermind, good songs anyway.

No we were jumping out of John Robert's Twin Beech in Dallas Tx in 1973 and regrettably it was the same plane that Jim Croce's band crashed in Louisiana. @@Hazen75

James Hyter was fantastic singing this song. I've worked a venue several times during the Sunset Symphony in Memphis. Never saw him singing the entire song, but I sure heard him. Seems like everyone in hearing distance stopped what they were doing when he started singing. A moment to remember, always.
