The original song was written by Dave Crawford and resulted in KKK harassment of Linda Lyndell for associating with black musicians. She quit music for many years as a result. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_a_Man_(song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's not forget that Elvis' famous "Love Me Tender" is a lyric rewrite of an old folk song, "Aura Lee." (Which is one of those songs I remember having to sing in some school choir, as we all laughed under our breath because of the wordplay with the title lol.)

OCClient Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Was doing some research on 1960s UK and ran across Donovan. Amazing stuff. Then found this cover by Earth Kitt. I was impressed. TruHart1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCClient Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 [MEDIA=vimeo]158769251[/MEDIA] The original was by a straight dude, asked to contribute a song for an LGBT cause. It recently was used for a short animation that ended up screening at Outfest this year. Lot of wet eyes in the theater. I think the cover is remarkably well done.

+ WilliamM Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) I have an audio version of Ethel Merman and Mary Martin singing "Send in the Clown" together. But, I do not know how to transfer a CD to my very out-of-date. PC. It's valuable only because Stephen Sondheim wrote slightly different lyrics for the two ladies. It's the opening song of Merman and Martin's benefit concert for the Theater and Music Collection of the Museum of the City of New York in the late 1970s Edited July 24, 2017 by WilliamM LoveNDino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ WilliamM Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) There is one song from the Merman-Martin concert from 1977 available on YouTube. Luckily, it's a major highlight. Mary Martin had not sung in public for long time. She was more relaxed and in command during "Our Hearts Belong in Mary" in 1985 at the Shubert Theater on Broadway.

+ WilliamM Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Betty Hutton (original) I just watched a five-year old interview with Kim Novak on TCM with the late Robert Osborn. Ms. Novak is now 84-years old. She was a wreck for a minute or two, but had wonderful movies to discuss like "Vertigo" and "Picnic." When Betty Hutton was interviewed by Osborn years ago, she did not have many successful filns to discuss. I felt bad because Hutton was in a very low point in her life. So here is Bette Hutton on a good day on "What's My Line?" as in the wonderful clip above of "Its Oh So Quiet." TruHart1 and LoveNDino 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ WilliamM Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvqI6qNwMBY After Judy Garland was fired from the MGM "Annie Get Your Gun," Betty Hutton starred in the film. Mary Martin had played Annie on the road and finally on TV. I met Martin once and we talked about this live TV show. Mary said she preferred live TV, but liked the studio album of the musical with John Raitt better. It poses an interesting situation; her voice is much more true to the character here.

OCClient Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I still remember turning on the TV that morning, hearing Roy Orbison had died. I drove all night released first by Cyndi Lauper, worthy effort for sure, but Orbison owned it, didn't he? There are several Orbison versions on YouTube. Celine Dion did a remarkable version as well.

OCClient Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KLNwPppKTM I know that Dietrich sang "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" in German in Israel. But, it must not be available on YouTube. She was told specifically not to sing in German, but Dietrich went ahead anyway with not one, but seven or eight songs in German. I saw Burt Bacharach interviewed by Carol Bayer Sager during his book tour and he spoke about Dietrich. Remarkable stuff.
