John McCormack
(born June 14, 1884, Athlone, County Westmeath, Ire. — died Sept. 16, 1945, near Dublin) Irish-U.S. tenor. He toured with Dublin's cathedral choir as a boy, studied voice in Milan, and made his Italian debut in 1906. He debuted the next year in London in Cavalleria rusticana, and an international operatic career ensued, especially in the U.S., for the next decade. From 1918 he concentrated on recitals and recordings, ranging from German lieder to sentimental popular songs. His Irish songs were particularly beloved.
