By way of a tribute to all "our kind of ladies" whose birthday celebrations we have missed in the tumult of moving house and being away in Spain. A thousand apologies.

You will know that I am the best and will hear me

Leontyne Price - Pace, pace, mio Dio

“I am here and you will know that I am the best and will hear me. The color of my skin or the kink of my hair or the spread of my mouth has nothing to do with what you are listening to.”

"You should always know when you're shifting gears in life. You should leave your era; it should never leave you.”

“Accomplishments have no colour.”

Mary Violet Leontyne Price (born February 10, 1927)
