ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards. The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is a Concord Company, www.concord.com.

When I was a kid, musicals were still a thing, and I thought they were corny. People always busting out in song whenever. I thought MacRae was corny. But when I heard this song again about 10 years ago, MacRae's voice. I almost fell over. It's like honey, or butter. And he's not just singing. At the end, he's making love to her. Extraordinary. Exquisite.

My parents bought musicals for us on those old laser disc players that you had to flip over halfway through. We watched them over and over and over, and we thought they were corny too; but there were only two snowy television stations in my tiny town in Maine, so if you wanted to see something, it was those musicals. My five siblings and I would sing those songs all through the house. When I was 19 and in college, I auditioned for Oklahoma! solely because it was the film my parents went to see together on their first date. It opened on my 20th birthday, and I though it would be a cool gift to them if I could land a role in the chorus, so they could come see me on my 20th birthday. I had no idea that all of those years of watching Oklahoma! meant I already knew the entire play. I quickly landed the role of Curly McLean, which began fifteen-year run playing leads in musical theater up through my mid thirties. And I'm pretty sure its entirely because my parents exposed me to musicals as a kid. I had a friend in college who said he didn't like musicals because nobody just stops what they are doing to break out in song. And then we grew up and had families--he had four girls--and we both found out that kids do, in fact, just break out in song randomly and that adults would be happier if they did the same. Now he does musicals with them in their community theater, and I love it.

You can tell a great actress by the way she reacts without saying a word. Shirley Jones made each man, woman and child know how she felt while being serenaded by the marvelous Gordon. Great direction but there was no need to film the dream surrey. The chemistry by the two leads enabled the viewer something more spectacular.

Gordon MacRae had such beautiful control over his voice at this time in his life and the way he 'acts' this song is flawless. How I wish he'd been offered more movies like this but he opted for TV and nightclubs instead when the musicals dried up. I found an interview recently when he was still making this picture where he said he was only interested in making one more film, he didn't name it but I think it was Carousel because that was the one he wanted. Much as I like Frank Sinatra, I'm glad he pulled out of the picture, leaving it for Gordon. The Soliloquy is just stunning from Carousel.

Then, my daughter, Japanese and only Japanese speaker gets hook to this and wants me to sing it or play it when she is having a bath. What a beautiful nightmare! I’m a music freak. Actually I’m a pro, that’s what they say. I’m just someone else, but I co-wrote my first musical song a few months ago and premiered a couple of weeks ago. Both Osaka and Tokyo were fully booked, kinda 1000 people per session. Then I play this song again and I feel I’m no one. It is just too beautiful. And the performance is mindblowing. No wonder why my daughter’s addicted to it.

His control of his voice in the softest tones shows how great his talent was! He was just 64 when he died. (March 12, 1921 - January 24, 1986). Father of Meredith Macrae. From Wikipedia: MacRae graduated in 1940 from Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts, and he thereafter served as a navigator in IX Troop Carrier Command in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. Gordon was descended from the Clan MacRae. MacRae was a baritone. Winning a contest (age 18) enabled him to sing at the 1939 New York World's Fair with the Harry James and Les Brown orchestras. He starred in many films and musicals, perhaps the best known were Rodgers and Hammerstein's classics 'Carousel' and 'Oklahoma!'
