DISCOVERY BY ETHNOMUSICOLOGIST S In Livingston in 1937, Hall met for preservation. Lomax's son, Alan, also championed Vera Hall -- bringing her to New York for a performance at Columbia University in 1948 and assembling '' Rainbow Sign '', a book based on Hall's life and stories. IMPACT She is most famous to contemporary audiences for being sampled by Moby on his hit single, " Natural Blues ". The sample was taken from the song "Trouble so Hard". Hall's record, "Another Man Done Gone," was played on the BBC in 1943 as a highlight to American folk music. Also, "Another Man Gone" was played by Congress to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation . A historical marker in her honor was dedicated on 21 April 2007 in Livingston.
