Marian Anderson is one of my childhood heroes. Her voice is beautiful. She was an operatic contralto with gorgeous depth and warmth in her sound that was incredible.

The main reason for my hero worship is my mom told me the story, when I was little, of an African American opera singer who was not allowed to sing in Constitution Hall in Washington DC, so the concert got moved to the Lincoln Memorial and she sang there instead for approximately 75,000 people.

So this is one of my favorites. AMAZING voice. This ended up being one of my favorite seasons of American Idol because of this performance.

Velvety voice. Impeccable musicianship. Beautiful piano playing and arranging. Nat King Cole had it all. He also had the best singing “ah” position that any vocal teacher would love to use as a demonstration. Here he is singing “When I fall in love”. Enjoy!!
