Helen L. Phillips (circa 1919 – 27 July 2005) was an American dramatic lyric soprano who broke though racial barriers as a concert singer and—almost in passing—on the opera stage.
She was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the daughter of a Baptist minister, the Rev. James Phillips. She attended Sumner High School in St. Louis and Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri, and did graduate studies in music and in sociology at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee.
