Grace Melzia Bumbry (born January 4, 1937 – died May 7, 2023) was an American opera singer, considered one of the leading mezzo-sopranos of her generation, as well as a major soprano earlier in her career. She was a member of a pioneering generation of African-American opera and classical singers, beginning with Leontyne Price and including Martina Arroyo, Shirley Verrett, Jessye Norman, Kathleen Battle, and Reri Grist, who succeeded Marian Anderson in the worlds of opera and classical music. They paved the way for future generations of African-American opera and concert singers. Bumbry's voice was rich and dynamic, possessing a wide range, and was capable of producing a very distinctive plangent tone.
