An Unseen Singer

In her July 28 review of the film “Distant Voices, Still Lives,” Sheila Benson writes: “. . . an unseen, bass voice, which may even be Paul Robeson’s, sings ‘There’s a Man Going ‘Round Takin’ Names.’ The voice happens to be that of Jessye Norman, and how Benson could mistake it for a man’s voice, especially Robeson’s, I would be interested to know.
