RIP Risë Stevens

I know there can't be any of you who haven't yet heard that Risë Stevens died today at the age of 99. Here is the NY Times article. There are many just like it all over the 'net. She is just the sort of singer this blog was begun to feature--her generation of "golden age" mid 20th-century singers at the Met. What a great artist and a grand lady!
