"From Colby, Kansas, where a coach once tried to convince his father that his son should concentrate on sports, Samuel Ramey found his way to Grand Opera. Starting out in secondary roles at the New York City Opera Company, Sam rose from its ranks and went on to stardom in the major opera houses of the world. He dominated the European stages with his unique blend of masculinity, musicality, and dramatic virtuosity. Here, at last, was a bass with the range and versatility to sing everything from Baroque operas to Broadway melodies. Most amazing of all was his vocal agility in the heart-stopping bel canto repertoire. Despite worldwide fame, Sam has never changed: he remains a warm, well grounded Midwesterner. Although he reached superstar status abroad, it took more than a decade for The Metropolitan Opera to open its doors to him. Their David and Goliath standoff is only a part of the engrossing and entertaining saga of a beloved American singer." - from the inner front jacket flap.
