Alma Gluck was born on May 11, 1884, as Reba Feinsohn to a Jewish family in Iași, Romania.
She was the daughter of Zara and Leon Feinsohn.
Gluck is a variation of her first husband's surname ('Glick').
Gluck moved to the United States at a young age.
Although her initial success came at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, Gluck later concertized widely in America and became a recording artist.
Her Victor version of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" sold well though no source indicates the exact number of discs sold.
Her daughter Marcia Davenport was the child of her first marriage (to Bernard Glick, an insurance man).
Gluck later married violinist Efrem Zimbalist and had two children with this second husand. They are actor Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. (1918–2014) and Maria.
Gluck retired to New Hartford, Connecticut, to raise her family in 1925.
By background, she was an assimilated and nonpracticing Jew. Gluck recorded several Christian hymns in duet with Louise Homer, among them 'Rock of Ages,' 'Whispering Hope,' 'One Sweetly Solemn Thought,' and 'Jesus, Lover of My Soul.'
She died from liver failure on October 27, 1938. She was 54.
