filkertomOne of the best baritones in American film and theater has died at the age of 85. Howard Keel was a man's man, and his memorable vocals graced Annie Get Your Gun, Show Boat, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Kismet, and Kiss Me Kate. Here's his page at IMDB, and here's the story at Yahoo news.
Everybody, now, and softly:
Update: That bastion of exquisite journalism, CNN, has the headline "Dallas" Actor Howard Keel Dead. Asses.
Everybody, now, and softly:
Old Man River, that Old Man River,(Yes, yes, as mentioned below, I know William Warfield actually sang this song in the movie of Show Boat. Just goin' for the tone, is all.
He must know somethin', but he don't say nothin',
He just keeps rollin', just keeps rollin' along....
