Ethel doesn't have hardly any wobble on her song here, but her vowels are sometimes so changed during a held word. Gershwin told her to not take any voice lessons, and she didn't...but I wish that she would have coached some...
…. I love love love the way Merman pronounces words in her singing. I’m glad that there was no singing coach to tone her down or to adjust her style. Ethel Merman was unique and she’s one of the few singers whom I can listen to and I just smile and my spirits are lifted. 🥰🥰🥰
Judith L. Morton: Just because you’re a lesbian doesn’t mean that every woman is. “So it said”, who says so? I don’t know about Bankhead but there is no indication in any of Merman’s biographies. And she was very clear that she preferred and enjoyed men.

A friend of mine found a signed picture of Tallulah at an Estate Sale and gave it to me for Christmas. I love this woman!
I'm so surprised that no one has made a movie about her life. it would be great.
There's been nobody like them, before or since.
This will NEVER get outdated.
I just loved Ms. Bankhead. She was amazing and funny !
I love her voice and laugh
They simply broke the mold!
They're both such fun! Thanks for posting!
Imagine having the video of it ❤😂
“Those are not potatoes” 😂 I miss classic comedy 🎭
i treasure our time down by the river,,,,,
ur warmth stays with me in the throbbing pulse of my broadway heart.
Fabulous!
Tallu: the one & only!
Ethel the ONE and only!
They were both great & had incredible personality's . I'm young so they were ahead of my time but true talent lasts for generations !!!
Natural Talent with an
eccentricity that is
High Art. Not like the crap now
This is funny 65 years on

Ethal was on That Girl check her out!
No doubt Tallulah was snickering behind Ethel's back. We used to be cool.
