He sings this version in Db Flat Major. Making the high note an F natural. He sings through more than one and a half octaves with no problem. And we all know he can sing waaay lower than and Ab. So that's quite some range. An amazing voice, dwarfing the orchestra even in his lower register. He sounds amazing. Unfortuantely, I don't know what year this is from. It's quite amazing that broadway voices used to be of such high quality as opposed to today. Enjoy.....

Why all the Robeson images if this is Warfield's voice. Somebody please tell me. Is this Warfield's voice in tribute to Robeson. For now, the dichotomy doesn't make sense.
