I can think of no other person who is more responsible for my love of vocal music than Beverly Sills. I first became aware of her when she was the co-host on the Mike Douglas Show in the late 1960s. One day she sang
"All the Things You Are" by Jerome Kern and I fell in love with her immediately. A few days later I bought my first opera recording ("Bellini and Donizetti Heroines") at Cutler's in New Haven, CT. I didn't understand a word she was singing but oh that voice . . .
how was it humanly possible to sing like that?
