A heavenly voice launched a search for the story behind it after the Los Angeles Police Department posted a video of a mystery singer at an LA Metro station with the caption, "4 million people call LA home. 4 million stories. 4 million voices...sometimes you just have to stop and listen to one, to hear something beautiful."
The mystery woman turned out to be Emily Zamourka, a woman who grew up in Russia and dreamed of being a singer. Zamourka possesses a beautiful voice, but a run of rotten fortune has left her homeless and singing in the subway.
"You know why I do it in the subway?" Zamourka asked. "Because it sounds so great."
I remember Jose Carreras said he used to go in the bathroom to sing after he finished his treatment for leukemia. His voice was so weak he couldn't get any volume in a normal size room.
