The Vanishing of Harry Pace is a miniseries from Radiolab about the phenomenal but forgotten man who changed the American music scene. It's a story about betrayal, family, hidden identities and a time like no other.
In the fifth episode of The Vanishing of Harry Pace, we go down a musical rabbit hole that leads us to the dramatic tale of Roland Hayes.
A contemporary of Harry Pace's, Hayes was an incomparable Black opera tenor, who was determined to make the music he wanted on his own terms and even silenced a Berlin concert hall full of booing Nazis with his singing.
