Alma Gluck was a Romanian-born American soprano, one of the world's most famous female singers at the peak of her career. Gluck moved to the United States at a young age. Her recording of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" for the Victor Talking Machine Co. was the first celebrity recording by a classical musician to sell one million copies. Gluck was a founder of the American Woman's Association. Gluck retired to New Hartford, Connecticut to raise her family in 1925. Alma Gluck died in 1938, aged 54, from liver failure in New York City.
