Seriously!! Does she age? She looks fabulous. I bet she still has the voice too!

[Onegin65]

Next February, 10 she will have 82!

Leontyne Price's crystal clear vision of who she is and where she was with her voice and that relationship to the receiver: audience(public) leaves no misunderstanding that she was an honest and earnest perfectionist. Thank you.

[Onegin65]

Madame Price is proof that black don't crack. I am torn between her and Aretha as the greatest singers alive right now.

[amadeus5889]

She's got one of the most interesting accents I've ever heard.

[MisterCrazyLegs]

To heck with her singing....we all know she's one of the top 3 divas to ever live...but I could sit and listen her SPEAK all day long. She is just an awesome woman.

[HelenaParthenos]

You never cease to be an inspiration to me, Ms. Price.

Onegin,

I can't thank you enough for posting these videos. As a professional singer, I have learned so much for the wonderful videos that you've posted over the years of the great masters. This collection is truly a treasure for any aspiring operatic performer to learn from.

To hear her speak is to hear her sing, she is just total Beauty.

[fossilkid4life]

Sorry..but i'm about to cuss. THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY SHE'S 81!!! She looks about 50.....no joke....okay...55 at most lol

[mrlopez2681]

@mrlopez2681 - whoops!! a 2 years old video (not 6!)

[mrlopez2681]

is she well?!? she has gotten very thin in the last 10 years (and this is a 6 year old video) ... I hope she is well, I love her so!

My mother had a graveside funeral in 2002, and two of the greatest singers of all time were there. Leontyne Price sang The Last Rose of Summer, from Martha. Joan Sutherland sang I Know That My Redeemer Liveth from The Messiah.

They joined us through a simple cassette player sitting on a nearby tombstone. As the music swirled around us, the birds in the trees joined in. It was the finest sendoff anyone could have had. I hope my family does the same for me some day.
