Hi!
Although it would be fair enough to call, (as they did) Peter Dawson
as a bass-baritone, to call Robeson a bass-baritone, let alone a
baritone, is clearly ridiculous.
Although Robeson could colour his voice is a lighter way when singing
certain songs, the range in which he sang or even spoke marks him
obviously as a proper BASS!
It could only have stemmed from some in house categorizing system
that maybe thought that 'baritone' would sound more commercial or,
failing that, someone with tin ears! ;-)
Earl.
