...like the remarkable mezzo-soprano Risë Stevens, whose singing career spanned four decades from 1938 until she retired in 1961 [yet she lived on a further fifty-two years, till she was 99!], and encompassed twenty years at the New York Metropolitan Opera and stage and screen appearances opposite the likes of Ezio Pinza, Licia Albanese, Richard Tucker, Eleanor Steber, Nelson Eddy and - ahem - Bing Crosby!
He's not in this clip...
Sublime.
