as i said: i vote for many reasons

these two couples are just one

I vote for many reasons and one is because I was doing research a few years ago about the legendary soprano Leontyne Price and I got fascinated by the fact that she had been married. I hadn’t known that.

They were married in August of 1952. Price’s husband’s name was William Warfield, and he was quite the singer himself. I vote for many reasons, and one is because of the things that were happening around the time of he and Leontyne’s wedding. During strictly segregated times, Leontyne Price and her husband were both deeply creative and determined to win in a very white art form. Born in Arkansas, Warfield was raised in Rochester, New York, and performed with Price for many years. The marriage was short. But the relationship was long, snarly, and sophisticated.
