Thomas Bowers (singer)
Thomas J. Bowers (c. 1823–October 3, 1885),〔 also known as "The Colored Mario", was an African-American concert artist. He studied voice with African-American concert artist Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield and toured with her troupe for a few years before embarking on his own successful solo career. He was the brother of professional singer Sarah Sedgwick Bowers, known as "the Colored Nightingale",〔 and John C. Bowers, a Philadelphia entrepreneur and church organist.
A fictionalized version of Thomas Bowers' life was depicted by actor William Marshall in a 1964 episode of ''Bonanza'' titled "Enter Thomas Bowers".
==Early life==
Thomas Bowers was born in 1836 in Philadelphia. His father, John C. Bowers, Sr. (1773-1844), was a secondhand clothing dealer, a vestryman and school trustee at St. Thomas African Episcopal Church, and one of the founders of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society.〔 His mother's name was Henrietta. As a youngster, Thomas showed a desire to learn music and was taught piano and organ by his older brother John. At the age of 18, he succeeded his brother as organist of St. Thomas African Episcopal Church. He and his brother were trained as tailors and operated a "fashionable merchant tailor shop" catering to upper class gentlemen and businessmen in Philadelphia.
