Love your post but I am quite sure Leontyne Price, brilliant artist, was the first African American to sing on the Metropolitan Opera stage in regrettaibly the mid 1960's!!! Marian Anderson was asked and sang so, so beautifully at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy. It was glorious and unforgettable!!!

Thank you for an opportunity to hear this beautiful voice. Marion Anderson is one of the greaters singers and the first Afro-American performing in the Metropolitan Opera. I know from her book, that because of her origin, he has to entry to the hotel through the back door.
Beautiful contralto voice.

She sang mostly this genre of music. I know she did opera too but not sure how much popular music she recorded.
