Born 99 years ago on February 10 in Laurel Mississippi, Leontyne Price is one of the greatest opera singers who ever lived…and she’s still with us!

Long live Leontyne!

Laurel is just a skip away from where I'm currently living. I wonder if they celebrate her. I hope so. I may go there soon & I'll look for markers recognizing her. What a voice!
