We are talking people born in the 1920s.
I thought of Leontyne Price, above. She was born Feb. 10, 1927. Back in the 1970s, when I was a kid, Leontyne Price was opera. It was not a real opera event until they brought out Leontyne Price, and her voice, and her Afro.
Roberta Peters ....

Gwyneth Jones...
... being born in 1936 is a little young for our purposes.
Who else??
There must be others.
