Josephine Baker sings Dylan
It's not often that a Dylan cover by a famous performer goes undetected, but just yesterday I was told of a cover of The Times They Are A-Changin' by Joséphine Baker. The recording is from Baker's 1973 concert at Carnegie Hall, and was released in France on the LP Josephine Baker Recorded Live At Carnegie Hall later that year. A CD was issued in 1995 but is now out of print.
If anyone can provide a scan of the LP and/or CD, it would be much appreciated. I could not find anything on-line.
And of course if anyone can provide a mp3 of the track... :))
I'm curious to know if anyone knew of this cover! Please leave a comment.
Thanks to Jack for the tip and info

highlighted, near bottom of page
but no cover pics.
There is also the movie (& DVD) :
"The Josephine Baker Story" (1991).
Lynn Whitfield plays Baker, with Carol Dennis (Dylan's old b/u singer and ex-wife) supplying the vocals.
Dennis performs The Times They Are A-Changin' in its entirety in the film.
Don't think a soundtrack album was released, but the film is available on DVD :
The Josephine Baker Story
HBO : 90571. USA. 2001.
Meant to say I couldn't find an image on-line, I found a few references. The CD is listed at amazon.fr but unavailable, under the title "Carnegie Hall Concert," don't know if that re-title is accurate.
Thanks for the DVD info, I knew Dennis sang Times on it but didn't know it was a complete version.
hello - My name is Adam - I am a huge fan of La Baker and I have this entire concert on LP (Ive put on my pc).
contact mrlopez2681@yahoo.com
Haven't been able to find the Lp for a reasonable cost... one just sold on eBay for $197.50!!
Anyone have an mp3? :)
