      He’s such a wonderful and spirited performer and a criminally underrated talent among classically trained tenors if I do say so myself.
      I always come back to this performance. Such a powerful and moving rendition.

    I can't even hear Brian Stokes Mitchell sing this after the first time I heard Dixon completely murder this on both the recording and concert. His last note gives me chills all up and down my body. I do believe I wept the first time I heard it. Just flawless.

      I too have been graced by many live performances of Rod's at my Church, Old St. Pat's in Chicago. It's been quite a few years now, but he used to sing at our Christmas Mass. He would sing Oh Holy Night and there would never be a dry eye in all of Church. I always told him his voice was definitely a gift from God. I am grateful to call Rod amongst my friends.

    It breaks my heart that 100 years have passed since the era of Ragtime, yet once again, this song is pertinent to current struggles. Maybe our "president" needs to hear this, "...and say to those who blame us for the way we chose to fight, that sometimes there are battles which are more than black or white." At least this "side" is justified. So I say, "Go out and tell our story to your daughters and your sons. Make them hear you."

    Make them hear you
    How Justice was our battle
    And how Justice was denied
    Make them hear you
    Make them hear you
    And say to those who blame us
    For the way we chose to fight,
    That sometimes there are battles
    That are more than black or white
    And I could not put down my sword
    When Justice was my right
    Make them hear you
    Go out and tell our story to your daughters and your sons
    Make them hear you
    Make them hear you
    And tell them, "In our struggle,
    We were not the only ones"
    Make them hear you
    Make them hear you
    Your sword could be a sermon
    Or the power of the pen
    Teach every child to raise his voice
    And then my brothers, then
    Will justice be demanded by ten million riteous men
    Make them hear you-
    When they hear you, I'll be near you
