Nelson Eddy is the most popular singer we listened to growing up. His films with Jeanette MacDonald are also among the families favorites. As a boy, I use to try and imitate his voice as I listened to his music. He is an amazing baritone. Each song they handed him became a popular hit when combined with his voice. He made his singing appear so effortlessly.
"Stouthearted Men"
"My Country Tis' of Thee" from Let Freedom Ring (1939).
