A tribute to the satirical singing and recording art of Madame Florence Foster Jenkins (1868 – 1944). Prepared and presented by Melvin Jahn. Included are rare recordings of her singing; an interview with her accompanist, Cosmé McMoon from an RCA record; and a review of her press. Her final words: “Some say I couldn’t sing, but no one can say I didn’t sing.”
