Beverly Sills, world famous American opera singer, died yesterday at the age of 78. She, almost by herself, brought legitimacy to American opera singers. Whenever great music is talked about, her name is certain to be mentioned.

Beverly Sills, R.I.P.

Virginija and I have been following the story of her declining health over the past week or so. She was truly a shining star of the stage.

I remember her appearance on the Muppet show: Fozzie Bear introduced her as "That great country-western singer, Beverly Sills!" She went on to try sing a country tune in an operatic voice, until the error was sorted out.

A talented, classy & funny lady who will be missed.
