Could use even more references and information, but certainly a B.

[edit] The clip of Odetta in No Direction Home

In the Odetta clip from Martin Scorcese's documentary film, what song is she singing & what programme is it from (and when)? I guess it's one of the TV programmes in the Filmography, but if anyone know you can add it into "recent years" in the biography. Responsible? 12:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links

There seem to be a number of links to sites that basically just sell stuff (e.g. Amazon, CDUniverse). Unless someone can explain in the next day or two why these are here, I plan to remove them. - Jmabel | Talk 08:24, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Last name

Does Odetta have a last name? Chimeric Glider (talk) 23:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but what one she uses legally now, I don't know. Look at the info box to see 3 last names she has used. Oddly enough, I knew her former husband, Daniel Gordon, who I believe is now deceased. When Mr. Gordon's current wife (also now deceased) mentioned he had once been married to Odetta, I wasn't sure I believed her until I found references to them as a couple and him as her manager.LiPollis (talk) 07:20, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
