Happy Birthday Florence Foster Jenkins!
Today we are celebrating one of the most notorious sopranos in classical music.
This week, we discuss the highlights of her unorthodox career and how she pursued her love of music to the fullest. How does a woman who lacked any sense of pitch or rhythm go from performing small productions for her prominent social clubs to a sold out recital at Carnegie Hall? Whether what brought her to the stage was delusions of grandeur or a genuine desire to make music regardless of others' opinions, Florence Foster Jenkins's story is filled with many valuable lessons on being an entertainer, the meaning of success, and faking it until you make it!
