cot x can be rewritten as cos x / sin x so, sin x + cos x. cosx / sin x sin x + (cos x)^2 / sin x Then if you multiply by sin x... sin x. sin x + sinx. (cos x)^2 / sin x which becomes (sin x)^2 + (cos x)^2 I'll leave the honors to you.
Old Man River. NOTE Old Man River was a standard part of Robeson's repertoire and appears on many of his albums. It also became William Warfield's signature song. Show Boat's 1927 premiere announced the advent of a new kind of musical. For the first time, characters developed and matured.
Hammerstein decided to use the idea of the Mississippi River as a basis for the song, and told Kern to use the melody that the stevedores sang in Cotton Blossom but invert some of it, and slow down the tempo. This inversion gave Ol' Man River a tragic quality.
