DESCRIPTION:
"Ol' Man River" by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II for the 1927 musical Show Boat was James Hyter's signature song with the Memphis Sunset Symphony. If you watch his performance you will see why he was fondly known as "Ol' Man River." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d9IcV9scUk

I had the honor of meeting and singing with James Hyter when Auburn United Methodist Church and Auburn Wesley Foundation's music director, Jack Horner, invited him to do a concert. This was recorded by my mother on her portable boom box. The two photos (three if you count the cropped image separately) are from Jasir Music where you can read more about James Hyter:
