Appropriate Quote by Kathleen Battle

“Wherever and whenever I sing, if there is only one spiritual on a program, people will talk about two things afterward, and one of them will be the spiritual. What I bring to this is the best of my classical training - not all of it. I apply what is appropriate.” quote by Kathleen Battle — Download Open image
