This is a tribute to the wonderful American soprano Leontyne Price. "When it was in its prime her voice was capable of effortlessly soaring from a smoky mezzo to the pure soprano gold of a perfectly spun high C". She enjoyed singing the works of Giuseppe Verdi and Giacomo Puccini and  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. William Warfield and Leontyne Price starred in Gershwin's "Porgy And Bess" and recorded this wonderful rendition of "Bess, You Is My Woman". Price and Warfield had married in 1952. Price will certainly be remembered as one of the finest sopranos of all time.Enjoy! Thanks For Your Comments.
