Who Will Be the First Great Voice?

ONE-OFF EVENT RELATED POST. DUMP IT. Tuh Dah! On Monday, January 25, NPR will reveal the first of 50 singers who've made their mark internationally and across recorded history in their year-long exploration of "50 Great Voices." In October 2009, NPR Music  solicited nominations from listeners and received thousands of suggestions. Those nominations were whittled down to roughly 100 singers. Now the project is going live, revealing  the stories behind the singers selected. Many names you'll recognize. There will be surprises.  One thing is for certain; it's going to be interesting. You can explore the nominated voices here, and check the "50 Great Voices" page every week to hear a new profile and guess who will be next. Listen for it Mondays, alternating on "Morning Edition" and "All Things Considered." You can also subscribe to the Music Notes newsletter to be notified every time a new story and podcast is available. I'll be tuning in every Monday. Will you? -- Beverley Ervine
