La ye?

The famous mezzo-soprano opera singer is young on this 78 rpm disc. She is around age 21.

She sings a Creole folk song--or a Creole Lament

"Salangadou" speaks of a distraught mother searching for her lost child.

Marilyn Berneice Horne was born in Bradford, Pennsylvania. She was one of the four children of Bentz and Berneice Horne. I don't know why the 78 rpm disc gives her name as "Marilynn" with 2 "n" letters at the end.

I think of her as a mezzo-soprano, but she is identified on the disc as a contralto.

She is still alive, and I would love to talk to her about this early recording--what does she think of it now?
