Gladys Swarthout is one of the few singers who can do popular songs, folk music as well as classics. Last year she made an album of requested popular songs from her Sunday radio program. They were received by the critics as seriously as when she made her French album of Operatic Arias. 76y7Charming Gladys has few temperamental outbursts. She has kept the same hair style -- her famous bob with a center part which shows off her softly arched forehead--for more than a decade.
