The American opera singer Samuel Ramey (born March 28, 1942 in Colby, Kansas) is considered one of the finest basso cantante singers of his generation. He is greatly admired for his range and versatility, having both the bel canto technique to sing Handel, Mozart, Rossini, as well as the power to handle the dramatic roles of Verdi and Puccini. Ramey made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in Handel's Rinaldo in 1984. He has since become a fixture at La Scala <a href="https://www.last.fm/music
