This short clip features Nelson Eddy and his nightclub singing partner Gale Sherwood on Guy Lombardo's "New Year's Eve Party" 1967. Ten weeks later Nelson suffered a fatal stroke onstage and died the next morning, March 6, 1967.
Wow what a nice surprise I graduated H.S. that year what a treat for all those merry makers always loved Guy Lombardo sweetest music this side of heaven ❤️
I saw this live (on our TV) in my fifteenth year. Not long after in adolescence I bought my first books of sheet music by Romberg, Friml, and Herbert, and my first Nelson Eddy album. I feel rich, in a way that few born later will know, though they have other riches. . . I can't check it now, to see if still posted, but my favorite Eddy video on RU-vid is "Where Else But Here" from a film called, I think, "Let Freedom Ring". Romberg did the tune. . . My dad saw Romberg in concert eighty years ago; R. Friml autographed and returned a musical sketch I sent him in '67 or '68. How old am i, anyway? . . . I did not remember what a fine singer Miss Sherwood was.

Last week TCM showed 6-7 Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy movies. Afterwards I had to Google if they were ever in a romantic relationship because you could see something was showing in the way they looked at each other. I was curious if I was right about there being REAL love in those looks. I was so surprised but again so awed by the fact that had such a devoted love affair that last all their lives. Since then I have googled everything I can find out about of them. The only other Real love affair I know of that was such a tender a story as JM & NE, was that of Spencer Tracy and Kathryn Hepburn. To have found love like that, must have been a blessing for all of them. ♥️ Just watch when they sing The Indian Love Song, there's no mistaking that they loved each other deeply.
It was a blessing for them but in some ways a great heartache, as their lives were not easy. In a handwritten letter by Nelson to Jeanette on Christmas 1935, he wrote "Dearest Jeanette... I love you and will always be devoted to you." Who would have thought his words would come true.
@@maceddy Thank you for that Information, it just cements that fact of what they had with each other was as REAL as it gets. You could plainly see and hear the pain of her death when he spoke about her after she was gone. 💝💝
You can see how this audience yearned for the old classics. As a teenager in the 60's I could feel, even then, the coming decadence. 'The Sound of Music' (the last great film musical) I went back to see several times at the old Nona theater. To think that Jeanette could have played Peggy Wood's part if she hadn't died.
@@maceddy It very much is! The archives only have one minute clips of later shows and the only full episodes are the last ones (1977 and 1978). I can’t believe this even exists.
@@maceddy Even today, it’s amazing that this portion of the broadcast even survived the test of time. Do you recall if the person who gave you this has any more of this show?
