I don't have enough posts to insert youtube videos or links, whatever my favourite is "Summertime", it's an all time classic.

His old Old Man River song cried defeatism....

His newer version of Old Man River one, which he sang on his tour of Europe, 15 years after, was not depressing at all, it was strong, and had a revolutionary touch to it. I believe this is an example of his overcoming depression

No it was him changing the original lyrics which he didn't write
