Sums up my golf game but adds much needed humor to an otherwise broken club situation. I sometimes play it between holes. To quote the singer: hah, BUT GOLF IS A CA-RAAZY WONDERFUL GAME!
One of the greatest dramatic or heldontenors in history... in history ! Proper signing ...no pop singing hear. They are the worst interpreters of our anthem. No slurs and slides...just a magnificent vocal achievement !!!
Thanks for putting this up! I happened on it via You Bet Your Life with Groucho. 1957! In that year TV reception was not close to this, yet this was the source.

Now THAT’S the way it should be sung. No stupid melismas or pop phrasing, just huge, solid, forthright tone.
I don’t know, I love Vickers but Marvin Gaye’s version was very good.
So true!!!
They got to hear a legend sing!!!
I love you so much Jon Vickers! Your singing is so inspiring ❤️
What year was this?
1987
Amazing Heldentenor!
Sung the way it's supposed to be sung. It's not about the singer, it's about the meaning.
The meaning?! He’s Canadian. They’re just words to him.
Cool
