Florence Foster Jenkins "St.Clair Bayfield" (vaimusic.com)

Florence Foster Jenkins was one of the world's worst singers - she was also one of the greatest.

Only those who understand, can understand!

@sisterspure Eh...to a degree, I suppose. What I don't understand is, she was supposed to be a pretty good pianist. Why didn't she just follow THAT talent instead?

@azraelangelofred She honestly believed that her own voice was that of an angel. She would just pass off critics as "professional jealousy." She was happy, St. Clair was happy, and I think she should be applauded for that.

@azraelangelofred She suffered an injury
