We sometimes forget that these shows were filmed with a live audience. Man, it must have been a thrill for that audience to get even this little bit of a singing legend ringing out in the little studio.
Ethel sang "I Got Rhythm" onstage in "Girl Crazy" in 1930. (It had been written by the Gershwins as a slow number a couple of years earlier.) Supposedly, after hearing her, George Gershwin told her never to take a singing lesson.
Ethel Merman had the most akward sounding voice of any Singing Superstar, but it can't be denied that she could make music with it. She isn't on my playlist, but she had it. Real deal.
"That's what I was trying to tell you". LOL!!!

Lucy gives wonderful singing lessons!
astroboy royale: Totally! It's hard to believe how much they aged after "I love Lucy" went off air
That was classic situation comedy. Stars would come on; everyone knew them, and they would have fun. Lucy had many legends on her series.
I got goosebumps the minute she turned the record off and started singing. Awesome.
Actually she turned the volume all the way up and then was still louder than the record player.
@@LaDivinaLover Oh my! That's even more AWESOME

How could Lucy possibly have NOT recognized Ether Merman?
Lucy did recognize Ethel at the bank but Ethel said she was someone else. Watch the full episode.
Her name was not Ether.
Probably too loopy from all the ether
Ok so its 2030 then and nothing has been done to stop her and the storks killer
