It thrills me to see her at 90 looking so beautiful and sounding so clear, articulate, and still so full of life and enthusiasm! Thank you for continuing to inspire me and other vocal artists around the world. Many blessings to you always, Ms. Leontyne Price.

My grandmother sung against the great Leontyne Price in opera when they were younger in Mississippi. They remained friends and she kept all of her records and accomplishments. I learned Lift Every Voice and Sing from an opera version of the song by Miss Leontyne that my grandmother gave to me. She said the best way to learn a wonderful song is to hear it from the best! She was right! ❤️

Leontyne was gifted to us by God. She is a black woman who overshadowed and overcame the stereotypes and judgements of her own time. She is American history at it's best. She is a triumph of true faith, perseverance and talent winning over overwhelming odds. Oh, and she also has a voice that is a once in a lifetime experience.

There are only a handful of truly great American sopranos, in my opinion.. and this beloved angel is one of them.. the other two would be Beverly Sills and Robert Peters. Their voices make me think of what angels must really sound like.

Historians of America knew that the Black Jews of Europe were black Italians, Spaniard, Dutch, Portuguese, Scotland and Ireland: They also knew that Opera Singers were originally black during the 1600's and 1700's century; So Leontyne Price is probably a descendant. You can find black European history in the 1700s, and early 1800's books. Leontyne name means "Lion"

This is one of the most disturbing aspects of Price's career. She claims to be not just a patriot but a "super" patriot. She wants to "do her country proud" in spite of the fact she and her people are despised for existing. She has given a salute to the flag that almost broke her shoulder & arm. Her voice has saved her from the most foul of American History. What is so ironic, she should have learned how to sing _Ernani ! Ernani, Ivolami_ the way Verdi wrote it. Price didn't owe the United States a damn thing.
