Lovely singing. I saw here in Manchester UK many years ago in Lucia with the ROH touring company and thought here very fine indeed. This does nothing to dispel that first impression. She and Panerai recorded duets from 'Rigoletto. Worth hunting down.
How wonderful of you to feature Mattiwilda Dobbs. Today, July 11th 2016 is the 91st anniversary of her birth. Please check out my youtube channel "Remeber our Music" an historical site honoring Mattiwilda Dobbs and other great African-American musicians like Noble Sissle, John Wesley Work and Erskine Hawkins, all born in the month of July!
