    Ethel wanted a real show stopper for Call Me Madam and they gave her this. The first run through she said "They won't let us off the stage!" and they did have about six encores opening night for this irresistible cross singing classic. Ethel also complained that she needed a 'big' number near the end of Gypsy they wrote her 'Rose's Turn'. It just BLEW HER AWAY she said "I wanted a big number and you wrote me a f-cking ARIA! In both cases Ethel knew what was needed and where.

    After about 60 years of not remembering this song up it comes from my memory. Finding it here is a bonus. The joy of "music in your blood" is indescribable. The DVD "Alive Inside" shows how music lives in the soul of even those who develop Alzheimer's. I pray it lives in the soul of future generations.

    I saw O’Connor in a later interview. He said that after singing that duet "The Merm”, he was half-deaf for a week. She was a powerful singer, but too big a voice and personality for anything but the live stage. That’s why she did relatively little in movies over a long career.

  • @siegfried923

    Always thought Donald o Connors singing voice and dancing far superior to Gene Kelly Kelly was predominately ballet trained so a lot of his dancing appears stiff, Whereas O Connor and Astaire have that wonderful relaxed body style apparent in numbers such as Make em laugh and the many tap numbers he performed .

      Nelson was, in addition to being a dancer, a gymnast and ice-skater. He combined the elegance and grace of Astaire with the athleticism and ballet training of Kelly. I think Kelly could dance too, but he had a certain stiffness in his upper body...and he was a ham.
