James, kudos to you for taking advantage of your cold and for having the audacity to take on a song owned (figuratively) by Paul Robeson. Nobody has ever had a cold that made them sound remotely like Mr R, or could even make someone not think of him when singing one of "his" songs. But your post did give me an excuse to listen to Mr R's version again, so THANK YOU!!

Definitely keep singing! But find your own voice (and songs) as well.

Note: I have not posted my own vocals on this forum
