The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day. - Hudba
I hope I won't sound racist,but black people are BLESSED with that gift of singing.
Here in May 2024 being blown away. Thank you Ms. Price
I can't thank God enough for giving us Leontyne Price.
She is Blessed with Age!!! 93 and Still alive!!!
Great voices like Miss Price are heaven sent!
Yes, and I've had the thrill of hearing her in recital twice. She even so kindly autographed my copy of the program.
Alive and no doubt still singing high C.
@@ransomcoates546 A beautiful rendition, I saw her long ago in her prime days, but later then this 1961 appearance, and that was also excellent. She uses a bit more Vibrato here when I saw her in opera, but her vibrato here is really excellent. Brava!
95 and still alive
At the end of the song, She bows her head with such reverence and respect. You can tell she really means what she sings.
She is christian...
That was classy.
This show aired on Easter Sunday, 1961.
The greatest singer the United States of America has ever known, and will ever know. Brava Diva!
Hush! What a foolish statement. She’s one of and cud NEVER be the greatest. Geez ! Y’all and your foolish emotions.
@@swisschoklate736 You obviously never heard her live in opera or concert, or you would change your tune.
She was one of them.....but the greatest is a matter of opinion. For me, I can't choose the very best because there are so many who I loved. I saw her perform her penultimate recital in the late 1990s. She was about 70 and sounded 20 years her junior.
Not to forget Jessye Norman...... both were godesses!
Wow! You're right! Most will deny it, but she was the best born American singer.
it takes a voice like this to bring heaven to earth, and to lift up the earth to heaven. O my O my!
I agree, so nicely said lipingfeng.
This is what we saw on late night entertainment back in the day. So sad what is on today.
This is so true.
Yeah, politely singing operatic songs to yte audiences, having had to enter from a separate "colored" entrance. We entertained them, while they comfortably remained unjustly racist, murderous, deceptive, divisive, disenfranchising, lying, violating, yknow, evil...to this day. Let's not romanticize america, she is worsely the same!!
it’s just different? y’all can’t appreciate art until it’s art you deem valid and it shows
This show was on Easter Sunday, in 1961.
@@ellisonhorne Thank you for letting us know.
What a beautiful lady with a voice to match she would make you cry.
Kudos to the late Ed Sullivan for bringing such a gifted singer to your stage.
She sounds like Marion Anderson in certain phrases- especially the vocal vibrato-Supremely Beautiful
She looked up to her
All I see is a Queen flexing her lower and middle register. Just marvelous.
Her lower register is lovely!
Not only did she have a gorgeous voice, but her diction was so clear that the subtitles were not necessary.
Glorious voice!!! I was fortunate to have purchased all her recordings beginning in the mid 60s and heard her frequently at the Metropolitan Opera numerous times. Beautiful voice with power when needed to flood the theater.
This video of her performance demonstrates what she sounded like and no wonder that she had such a fantastic international and recording career.
If this is from a 1961 broadcast, at 34, Ms. Price had not reached her fullest potential as La Diva. I had the pleasure of hearing her in person on a Sunday afternoon back in the 80s when the late maestro, Dr. Nathan M. Carter along with the famed Morgan State University Choir brought her to Baltimore. A dream of a lifetime for me. In 2018, PBS did a special, The Opera House on the building of the new Metropolitan Opera House that Ms. Price opened in 1966. She was also a guest in that documentary. Ms. Price reached the pinnacle of opera successes by sharing her gift in the famed opera houses around the world. She is a living treasure.
I see no reason to be criticizing her here, or posting reviews that did. What is the point? To make commenters look more "intelligent"? Well, it isn't working. Just enjoy this greatest of American sopranos.
She almost sounds like a contralto.What a range.
I didn't know she had this kind of lower range!! Impressive.
Yes in the early years she did!
@@ebestignani2699 She never lost her lower range. A singer doesn't loose that range. If anything, it's the higher range that drops as one gets older.
@@geraldinetalley3664 depends on the voice. Price kept the beautiful top- the middle and lower range became weaker over time. AIDA review April 21, 1967 MET in Boston." Leontyne Price in the title role has the ideal vocal equipment. She sang with power, with broad tonal gestures. So large is her voice that she had no trouble being heard even when competing with the several score chorus. The only flaw was a loss of tone when she pressed for volume in the lower range." ( Richard Cattani-Christian Science Monitor- printed on MET OPERA Database.)
UN BALLO IN MASCHERA review April 17,1967 MET in Boston.
"Amelia is a singularly difficult part: it needs all of Aida's high notes, but in addition requires a force in the low register far beyond what is called for in comparable roles. Leontyne Price's best singing in the duet with the King, and in "Morro, ma prima in grazia," was superb indeed, grand in style, handsome in sonority. There was, however, the repeated shock of the hollow, unsubstantial low notes, whose lack of quality and of sheer physical weight diminished the effect of many phrases." ( Michael Steinberg Boston Morning Globe- printed on MET OPERA Database).
@@ebestignani2699 I read the review, but I don't agree that a singer looses the lower register while maintaining their high register. Sometimes a singer will have a bad night. Perhaps others will weigh in on what they think about the length of time a singer's lower register verses their high register lasts.
@@geraldinetalley3664 You can hear the weakness in her lower middle-the bridge to the lower voice - in almost all of her later appearances and recordings. It was not a secret. Exactly what happened is up for debate. Her own longtime manager told a friend that she refused to talk even to him about it. And in an interview with Opera News news a few years ago she said that part of her range was “work, constant work.”
The most beautiful voice I heard in the opera house. An American treasure.
Absolutely beautiful!
The best of the best😊😊everytime I hear her I get healed
The greatest singer known to me
Sublime.
Heavenly. She also sang "Vissi d'arte" on this Easter Sunday April 2, 1961, Ed Sullivan broadcast. Perhaps the Sullivan folks will post that, too....
One has the sense Miss Price was truly in the heart space of the words she sings here.
The effect is immediate, spiritually visceral - and sublime.
The sounds that came through her during that decade of the 60s.... ineffable.
This was taped just a couple of months after her Metropolitan Opera début.
Just so! And everyone listening prays with her.
Maravillosa simplemente, a veces tiene registro de mezzosoprano, lo cual nos da una idea de la amplitud de éste . Es indescriptible lo que uno siente al escucharla . Creo que es la mejor de todos lo tiempos…opinión muy personal!!!
This is a beautiful reminder that Price sang as a "juicy mezzo" (her description) before her entrance to Juilliard on scholarship as a lyric soprano. After she sang Dido's Lament, "When I am laid in earth," from Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas," one of her coaches remarked, "It looks as though we have The Voice Of The Century!" How right he was!!!
@@liedersanger1 Not quite! She has used both descriptions in interviews over the years, "molasses" and "juicy." It is not a question of either/or but rather both/and.
@@liedersanger1 She has The Voice Of God.
@@liedersanger1 Yes in the early years the lower voice was very firm.
she called herself a juicy lyric not a juicy mezzo
@@onigbajamo My Price mixed metaphor. She said she was a "thick, molasses mezzo." Cheers
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Truly Divine
Magnificent ❤🎉😊
Wow! Absolutely breathtaking. That range!!!!
Amen
Comment ne pas adorer une telle chanteuse. Elle nous transporte dans un monde merveilleux par sa beauté et son talent. Quelle chance nous avons d'entendre cette immeuse artiste. Elle est extraordinaire.
Pure gold...so effortless.
I'm surprised at this low key. But it sounds so good!
Leontine Price is still alive in 2023 and she is 96 years now
I Didn’t Know She Sing Low either. Wow!!!
SING IT, SING IT!!!
This is just glorious 💖💖
Bravo, Dame Leontyne Price ! C’est magnifique !
My GOD is real me too
Fantástica voz e interpretação
The greatest ! The greatest ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
She is gracie's lady wonderful opera singer God bless her
Simply in heaven!
Forgive us our debtor NOT devil! (bad transcribing) The performance and voice is perfection!
It's automated transcription. The computers unfortunately cannot catch everything.
GLORIOSA ♥
Happy Birthday, La Splendissima!
🎈🎉🎂🥳
The Pharyngeal Voice
❤️❤️❤️
Gracious❣ 💎
I'm in tears
Brillant!
Lovely in every way 🌹
All the versions you have posted of "The Lord's Prayer" have been wonderful!
Wow. What a rich mezzo quality
WONDEROUS 💕
Truly wondrous.
If the hairs on the back of your neck do not stand up on listening to this, then you were not paying attention!
Not only on the back of the neck but everywhere.
BRAVA
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Whoever wrote the captions was clueless. At 2:05 we're going to forgive our "devil". Stunning performance though.
God, she can always crush me completely. This is very unusual, it's a mezzo-soprano key.
Leontyne Price, The Lord’s prayer
Price is 96. The prayer worked.
Sung a fourth down from the standard high key. She made it work for her. Maybe it was the key she used when she first learned it.
Fun fact: this talented singer is related to Cissy & Whitney Houston and Dionne Warwick.
How are they related 😮
Praise God 🙏🙏🙏 does anyone know the composer arrangement? I'd love to sing this
It is the Malotte composition. This is usually sung in the tenor/soprano range, but Price is singing in the low voice contralto range here. Beautiful.
@@Trinite33 thank you . Found it! I'm a mezzo , but I will transpose.
@@avill012 So glad I could help. It's a great piece of music, a nice challenge for any singer. As a lyric spinto tenor, I always loved singing it, and I know you will enjoy it too. Good luck!
That must sound beautiful in your voice. Keep singing brother! Her on earth and on the mountain top! 🕊️
Leontyne is singing "The Lord's Prayer" here and not "Vissi D'Arte". Please correct the title 🙏🏾🙂.
Somehow, I like it when the viewers know more about the Sullivan catalog than the owners.😎
PSAT: Tuhan, buat ma sorimago Covid-19 sian liat portibion. Asi rohaM mamereng hami. Amen.
Leontyne Price , Cissy Houston’s cousin who is Whitney’s mom .
She sound a lot like Marilyn Horne here.
Way clearer voice than Horne's.
Actually, Price is channeling her beloved Marian Anderson here. The Great Soprano bowing to The Great Contralto!!!
My two ultimate favorite opera divas.😘
Beautiful!!! The choir didn’t do such a good job 😬
What's happened with THIS voice so beautifully developed throughout her carrier?! With the time goes on, she made her voice SO collapsed... Very sad. That's a healthy voice, a beautiful Price. The Price from 75 ahead is sad... 😔
Too bad you couldnt enjoy a great performance. Sad.
@@liedersanger1 Too bad your idea of a good, healthy and developed voice is totally wrong. Did you read my comment?! Leontine's voice was STUNNING on her beginning. From 75 ahead, her voice, well, I don't know. It's seems she forget how to sing. 🤷♂️
@@FelipeViannaNutriUFRJ You missed my point. I didn’t challenge your opinion of her singing before or after 1975, though I don’t agree with it.
@@liedersanger1 If you were referring to this performance, then my text makes it clear that she was at the height of her voice and kept the technique intact. But when using replacement, especially after '75, her voice just went downhill from there. This quality chest voice is no longer heard, even more interconnected to the other records, as in this video. There's a video of her singing "My Man's Gonne Now", in the 80's already, in her concert stage and retired from the opera, in which she demonstrates that her low register is totally disconnected from the register and the head voice. I didn't understand which part of my comment classified her performance of "The Lord's Prayer" as bad, or inappropriate.
@@FelipeViannaNutriUFRJ You're still missing my original point. I'm saying, you missed the chance to enjoy her singing without going to her perceived faults right away, and making that the focus of your comment. Sad.
"Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors," NOT 'Devils.' Trying to rewrite history. Sad. It was 'revised' to accommodate bankruptcy laws, to, "Forgive us our 'trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."
