"A voice like yours only comes once in 100 years" (Toscanini) "not a voice, but a cello!"(Sir Anthony Pappano) 'a rich, vibrant contralto of intrinsic beauty' (A.Blyth).

In 1939 the Daughters of the American Revolution refused Anderson (who had returned in triumph from Europe) permission to sing to an integrated audience. The incident threw her into the international spotlight … With the aid of President F.D and Mrs.Roosevelt, she thrilled 75,000 people in concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC (and a radio audience in the millions)"
