Beverly Sills Farewell - Her Final Performance!

Beverly Sills Farewell Performance. Sills highlights her career and sings a tearful final encore of the Portuguese Folk Song: "Tell Me Why" that Estelle Liebling, her only voice teacher, gave her when she was ten. As a tribute to Liebling, Sills ended every recital with this song. Her long-time accompanist, Charles Wadsworth, plays for this final, moving performance.

It is a rare gift to bring so much joy to so many. What an incredible person she is. And to think that she swore off of singing totally after she retired. What an artist! Brava our beloved Bubbles, Brava.
