Can someone please tell me where I can find the rest of this performance? She sang a song *I don't know the name* and when she sang "heaven" she made the sound come like a hum from her nose. I want to hear it again but I cannot find it :(

i loved Anderson since i was a kid too. the sadness of her story is: as one of the greatest American voices..she did not enjoy having a great career in the USA in her PRIME years..because of racism..many places were "closed" to her from performing. so she went to europe, russia, scandinavia and others where she was highly celebrated and married a norwegian where they considered her a national treasure..she sang again in the USA when her voice was past her prime..so the USA LOST a chance .

i ♥ here singing her voice is so strong god bless her

[keenansblue]

That is it!! Thank you so much!!

@keenansblue i think you are talking about Heav'n Heav'n. This is the only song I can think of that has "heaven" reverberated through the nose

@Greatheil Marian could sing a high C with no problems even after her 50s as she was in this vid. None of her notes were "wasted".

I think we will go to dust when we die, but Marion Anderson makes me think there is at least hope for the human race.

She should have had some songs written specifically for her. She's wasted on notes above the bottom of the staff. Wonderful mezzo-soprano voice but it's the contralto range that I'm in love with.

Beautiful. I thought this was a Steve Vai site!

below is the YouTube link of that worldfamous performance at the Lincoln Memorial by the Great American Singer Marian Anderson. she was of course beyond her prime already - so much of the USA heard her in full only as a shadow of her former voice's greatest glory. the europeans and other countries instead had the honor of enjoying her at her prime
