Beverly Sills

By the time, she was four, Beverly, or "Bubbles" was, performing in public. She learned to sing opera by imitating her mother's records. When her soon to be voice teacher heard Bubbles sing, she laughed aloud. But, the teacher agreed to take Bubbles, and the rest is history. At a time, when virtually all major opera singers were European, Bubbles became internationally famous because of her spectacular soprano voice and her sparkling and bubbly personality.
