About Roland Hayes
- Roland Hayes (June 3, 1887 – January 1, 1977) was an American lyric tenor and composer.
- Critics lauded his abilities and linguistic skills demonstrated with songs in French, German and Italian.
- Earlier African-American concert artists were not recorded because in their day recording companies were only interested in a vaudeville type of singer.
- Hayes was the first to break this barrier and in 1939 he recorded with Columbia.Hayes' predecessors as well-known African-American concert artists, though not recorded because their performances were not minstrelsy, include Sissieretta Jones and Marie Selika.
