The great American diva's most popular program on RR

Eileen Farrell's operatic and concert career was the stuff of legend. "She is to sopranos what Niagara is to waterfalls," was not an overstatement. Then, she startled even her staunchest fans by appearing with Louis Armstrong, and proving that she had every right to sing the blues. It's easy to argue that Farrell was the first "crossover" artist. These classic torch songs bring out her finest qualities--the ability to "tell a sad story" with one of the most beautiful vocal instruments this country has ever produced.
