Barbara Cook, a lyric soprano whose rousing songs and romantic ballads touched America’s heart in an odyssey that began in the golden age of Broadway musicals, overcame alcoholism, depression and obesity, and forged a second life in cabarets and concert halls, died early Tuesday at her home in Manhattan. Barbara Cook was born in Atlanta on Oct. 25, 1927, the older of two daughters of Charles Cook, a traveling salesman, and the former Nell Harwell, a telephone operator for Southern Bell. Growing up, Barbara blamed herself for two crushing events in her childhood. In 2005, a year after Mr. Harper’s death, she recorded Tribute, an album dedicated to him.
