Snoopycat: The Adventures of Marian Anderson's Cat Snoopy CD

Contralto Marian Anderson (1897-1993) was one of the most celebrated singers of the twentieth century. Time after time, she broke the race barrier in classical art music. In 1939, after being refused a concert spot at Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution, she performed an Easter Sunday concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with the backing of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor. It was attended by more than 75,000 people and millions more heard it on the radio. 

Anderson also dearly loved her black cat, Snoopy. This is Snoopy's story, written by Frida Sarsen-Bucky and narrated and sung by Anderson herself. It was released in 1963, the same year Anderson won a Presidential Medal of Freedom and sang at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. A Smithsonian Folkways recording.
