Graduated from High School and saw this with the girl I fell in love with and have loved her for 60 more years now.

Every time I hear this song, I thank the music gods that Gordon MacRae sang this rather than Frank Sinatra.

Musicals are special, they're movies, but they're movies with so much more heart than ordinary films. I think.

My Mum aged 92 has dementia - it's one of the few things she responds to. "Oh, it's very sad isn't it".

This is not outdated. This music is forever.

I first saw this as a stage play in 1953. Now I'm 81 and blubbering like a baby.

This is the most beautiful song ever written for a musical. I can’t listen without crying. The music just goes straight to your heart.

Rodgers & Hammerstein were absolutely perfect genius together. They gave us so very many gorgeous songs....it just doesn't happen anymore, sadly. *sigh* from Carousel to Oklahoma, The Music Man, The King and I (Anna & the King of Siam), South Pacific, The Sound of Music....so much of the American Soundtrack from 50s to the 70s was by these 2 gentlemen & some wonderful actors who could actually sing! Definitely part of the fabric of lives from that era.

Her face, her hair, that voice, that dress. Could there be anything more perfect.

Richard Rogers said the music from Carousel was the most beautiful he had written in his lifetime

Possibly one of the most perfect duets ever written and ...sung....perfectly

Gordon MacRae and Shirely Jones had such great chemistry. Both in this and in Oklahoma.

Yes, Rogers and Hammerstein were geniuses! Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae were just marvelous in “Carousel”. Their voices are for all time and all generations!

Shirley Jones was very underated as a singer. I had forgotten how good she was.

I had forgotten what a beautiful voice Shirley Jones had and want a stunning beauty she was. Gordon MacRae's voice with Shirley Jones' voice was the perfect combination for this and other wonderful songs written by Rogers and Hammerstein back when very gifted people wrote music and lyrics. I am so glad to have lived through that period.

Nobody will ever be able to sing this duet the way these two can

There's a reason this is considered the golden age of film.

Nobody will ever be able to sing this as good as Gordon. He was just pure magic.

Gordon Mcrae what a voice it could crack glass he has a voice like no other .

My parents took me to see this on Broadway in New York 1956. I was 5. So enchanted.

This song meant so very much to us, my husband use to sing it to me. Unfortunately he passed away many years ago but I still sing it myself and the tears start. It is the most beautiful, sad, heart rending song I have heard and Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones put so much feeling into it that you can,t help but cry. It will last forever, and sung when Ipass away.

I didn't see this film until I was in my twenties, but musicals such as this firmly founded my ideas of what love would be like. My parents story of meeting could have been made into one. And both of them sang beautifully. My brothers were in the orchestras of several musicals (including this one) when I was a young teen. Tragically, my mother would pass away agonizingly close to their 25th wedding anniversary. I worried that something like that might happen to me. My wife, every bit as beautiful and enchanting as Shirley Jones is here, didn't pass away . But 17 years later she chose to leave me. There has been a huge hole in my heart ever since. That was 27 years ago now. SO here I sit, alone for all those years, yet still believing in this kind of magically intense love, quietly crying real tears, thinking of the loss my poor Father had to endure fror24 years, and now his son, an even longer time. I must look and sound pathetic, but there is no one here to see. And I will never stop believing. And at least my Father and I had a lot longer than poor Billy Bigelow. tp experience transformative love, the kind I expect to feel again in Heaven.

The minor keys throughout and the stunning lyrics of this piece make it one of the most beautiful and heart wrenching love songs ever written. Nobody could do it better than Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones! Thank you, Mr Rodgers and Mr. Hammerstein!

Who says men don't cry? This song is so emotional it always makes my eyes well up with tears.

There is absolutely no one, no one like Sirley Jones and Gordon MacRae who can sing this duet as well as they did. I cry everytime I hear this and watching the video.

Gordon MacRae--one of Hollywood's best voices--and a hunk and a half. Those puppy dog brown eyes, boyish grin, and sturdy physique makes me melt. Sigh.

There will never be anyone who will create as wonderful music as Rogers & Hammerstien.

A beautiful tear-jerker. Love Gordon and Shirley together.

There is absolutely no one, no one who could sing a duet of this song the way Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae sang it. No one even comes close. I cry every time I hear the song and watch the video.

The orchestration is wonderful.

First saw this on black and white TV in the sixties...I was only 12 and was totally mesmerized by the whole thing...still gets to me at 70...

This musical was my father’s favorite. His favorite song was You’ll Never Walk Alone

Did Shirley Jones know how lucky she was when she got this part and got to sing one of the most beautiful love songs in Musical theatre? Billy Bigelow, a complicated character, so well played and sung by Gordon MaCrae. What a voice! Good direction too!

If this dosent bring a tear to your eye your hearts stopped beating.Memories of a magical youth when age was a long way off .

They certainly don't make musicals like this any more. Such a beautiful song.

Shirley and Gordon were perfect in their roles as Julie and Billy. This scene is incredible. I could watch it over and over. Rogers and Hammerstein were brilliant composers. "If I Loved You" is such a beautiful song. It's so touching. Amazing performance by two seasoned professionals, Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones. The ever talented Shirley Jones mentioned in an interview that Frank Sinatra was supposed to portray the role of Billy Bigielow and then bowed out. One of the producers asked Shirley to get a hold of Gordon MacRae so he could take over the role of Billy and the rest is history. CAROUSEL was an amazing movie with a superb cast. I've been singing "If I Loved You" a lot lately. Can't help myself. ♥♥♥♥Love this song so much!!!!

Shirley Jones had such an angelic face while Gordon MacRae was rakishly handsome, both with the most beautiful voices ever. Together, they were magic.

Happy Happy 100th Birthday Gordon MacRae! What a voice you had! You were a good actor too in this film, Oklahoma and all those you did with Doris Day. Thank you for leaving them behind.

Utter perfection , two beautiful people singing one of the best songs ever written

This is ultimately my favorite musical ever and my favorite song by two beautiful Singers Gordon MacCrea and Shirley Jones! God given voices ❤❤

One of the most beautiful tunes.

Gordon's singing is amazing! He handles every move, note to note , with legendary art and athleticism.

In a word: Magnificent!

This is the most beautiful love song ever written IMHO. And Shirley Jones and Gordon McRae really sell it!

There was charm and beauty and first-rate singing by Gordon MacRae who was America's finest Baritone in Musicals while Shirley Jones added sweetness to an era when this country recognized quality in more ways than one.

This was my mum’s favourite musical. This and ‘You’ll never walk alone’ were her most favourite. Even in the last stages of her dementure, bedridden, she still remembered the songs and tried to sing them. RIP mum. X

I was never a huge fan of Carousel, however, this is my absolutely favorite piece of all musicals. Only geniuses could write music like this!!!

... but afraid and shy is the saddest phrase in the song. We always regret what was not said, rather than what was spoken.

Achingly beautiful...almost too beautiful to listen to. Tears come... for both the beauty of the music, and the astounding talent of these singers

i love this part of the film. it's so magical.

This classic song beautifully sums up the human condition - wishing, hoping, wanting to believe while bravely struggling in a vast pit of doubt and fear. How glorious it is to be human!

Absolute magic. These two can never be replaced, they ARE Billy and Julie.

I met Gordan at the Royal Villa in Raleigh, NC in the late 1970s. What a wonderful man. No celebrity airs, just a man having a drink with two guys in a bar. Just an ordinary guy with a glorious voice, This video is incredible!

Nobody can sing this like Gordon. I can't go to any theatre versions of Carousel because all I hear is Gordon's voice and nobody else will ever be as good.

A beautiful song, performed by two of the most beautiful voices EVER to grace a movie screen. Excellent!😊⛪

Gordon is just wonderful in this musical, particularly with Shirley. What a voice he had. I used to belong to The Friends of Gordon MacRae. Wonder what happened to them? The words “we don’t count at all”. We do! Thank you for this and to Rogers and Hammerstein too. RIP❤️🙏🇬🇧

Rogers and Hammerstein Were American treasures and I am so thankful Hollywood made these wonderful musicals so we will have them always. Did you notice that a lot of their songs are in waltz time. Shirley's voice was at it's peak in this movie but always perfect.

My mum and I used to watch this when I was a kid. Lost my mum to dementia last November. Watching this with tears but also a smile xxx

Watching these clips from these clips give me tears and chills.They were so beautiful.The music the people.

As a songwriter I consider this one of the most beautiful songs and song ideas ever conceived. And the singers are right up there too.

Carousel. The place where my love for musicals began.

The sweetness of Shirley Jones' face and singing voice has never been equaled.

This is the only movie that brings tears to my eyes.... You'll Never Walk Alone... incredibly emotional 💜

Richard Rogers wrote some of the finest songs for the musical stage and this probably the best.

This song and "You'll Never Walk Alone" are absolute classics, musical genius. My mother and father saw this play on Broadway, the Demo album which we got se time later because my father owned radio stations was always on the Hi-Fi - remember those?

This is opera quality American music. Sublime and elegant.

Still moved by this passion-sixty-five years later (and still delighted to be married and to be a father and grandfather).

Their voices complement each other so perfectly. The reprise when Billy returns makes this performance even more meaningful.

What glorious voices those two had. Perfect for this musical. And for OKLAHOMA, too!

60 years old, and it's still moving. I don't usually like musicals but I can watch this over and over

There are so many versions of this song. This is one of the best.

i love this I grew up with all these wonderful musicals, My parents passed away this year three months apart the loss is so great, but this just takes me back to when they were alive and we would all sing along to these amazing songs.

The ABSOLUTE BEST!! No one does it better than these two. 💗💗💗

Glorious,One of the most beautiful songs ever written!!! Stands the test of time!!

This song is too beautiful

One of the most beautiful songs of R&H, in my opinion.

One of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard.

Just beautiful. And wishing for the times again, for everyone.

This is a gift to humanity.

it does not get any better than this!!!!

one of the most beautiful songs of all time

Oh well, the youth of today will never understand what music should sound like. There is someone around today who sings with an ear for the 50's, 60's, etc., and I strong suggest you give her a listen. I'll let you figure out why. Her name is Angelina Jordan. Give her a listen. (And then listen to her more. And more.)

People today have no idea of the talent that the stars of the old days had, and how much we loved our old motion pictures.

I remember going to see this film and loved this song. There was something so special about this song.

Simply Beautiful.

Always called this: "10 minutes of Hollywood magic." Wonderful.

So very beautiful and talented. I wish Hollywood would make movies like this again.

been watching this film after my mom introduced it to me when i was 7, im now 16, and i think that more of my generation should have the same love and respect i have for films like this..

This is a beautiful scene from Carousel.

I remember seeing this as a young girl, and crying my eyes out. I still do.

Shirley Jones was beautiful and so talented! Loved her in The Music Man too!

So beautiful a piece.

Beautiful song, and what a handsome couple.

Two of the greatest voices in the musicals of Rogers and Hammerstein. Billy gone much too soon. What a beautiful voice.

I love this song so much, it is heartbreaking but it's also an honest confession of love. Wonderful performance by the singers too.

Off you would go in the mist of day ...😢 one of the most beautiful songs ever written

Classic. Love these old musicals. Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae were treasures.

if this film doesn't affect you, in some way, then you're not human...

i love this movie. gordon macrae and shirley jones just made all of the amazing rodgers and hammerstein music and storylines EVEN BETTER. i'm saying this as a teenager who greatly appreciates music and theatre music.....

No voice dubbing needed here! What a great movie. Tears. of course
