Odetta and Johnny Cash video

Odetta on "The Johnny Cash Show," August 30, 1969. The first song she performs is based on a Negro "field blues" song known simply as "Black Woman," then duets with Cash on "Shame And Scandal In The Family," which was written by a calypso artist who went by Sir Lancelot, in the 40s. Thanks to the Commenters who helped me I.D. these songs. I'm nothing without you!
