Opera singer Grace Bumbry is considered one of the leading mezzo-sopranos of her generation, as well as a major soprano for many years. She was a member of a pioneering generation of African-American opera and classical singers (including Leontyne Price, Martina Arroyo, Shirley Verrett and Reri Grist) who followed Marian Anderson in the world of classical music and paved the way for future African-American opera and concert singers. Bumbry's voice was rich and sizable, possessing a wide range, and was capable of producing a very distinctive plangent tone. Recorded in 1972, this video showcases the depth and breadth of her talent.
