ROBERT SIEGEL, Host: The music of other cultures has long found its way on to recordings made in this country. From the earliest of Thomas Edison's cylinders through the discs that spun at increasingly slower speeds, 78, 45, and 33 revolutions, voices from other shores were captured in wax and then vinyl. And one of the most obscure but talented of those voices belonged to Marika Papagika, a Greek American. All but forgotten until recently, she has been described as having one of the truly great voices of our century. Dick Spottswood collects old recordings, including Papagika's.
DICK SPOTTSWOOD, Commentator: I first fell in love with Marika Papagika when I heard her voice on some old 78s years ago.
