The guy you have is Al Bowlly. Here's a link about Mr. Bowlly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Bowlly My favorite version has Mildred Pierce, a Native American, (the 3rd recording.) She is fantastic! I have a different recording of Al Bowlly that I listen to that has the lyrics on screen.Thanks for posting this! Listening to people singing this protest song from the 1940's each night helps me to remember others have gone through the same fight against fascism and come out the other side. I sure need that little bit of hope every day!
