- This video compiles the scenes from the 1953 film Main Street To Broadway that encompass Rodger and Hammerstein's writing of There's Music In You. For more information on the movie see ...
I love how Whitney Houston took a number that was buried in an obscure 1950s low-budget film that few people had ever heard of and completely made it her own - its such a beautiful melody I'm actually surprised it didn't get wider play until she added it to the Cinderella soundtrack
James Tyler i am here too coz of Whitney .. i am into Rodgers and Hammerstein and wanted to know the origins of this song
Little did they know it would be one day be sung by The Voice.
i know I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
Rodgers and Hammerstein, such an incredible pairing. Their music is so iconic even after about 80 years.
Wonderful performance by Mary Martin. We are treated to Rodgers and Hammerstein together. They we both brilliant.
Yes, beautifully done, as is all her singing. This is as the song should be sung -- with beauty, sincerity, feeling, and finesse -- no added superfluous crap. The lovely message is key here.
So many songs exist from my childhood I didn't know were covers lol Amazing.
Whitney Houston, ehhh? ;)
🎹 Amazing video. Rodgers and Hammerstein at work.
Thanks for posting.
You're most welcome!
This is amazing. I did not know that song was so old. More specifically, I forgot how old the music for Rogers and Hammerstein is, so if this was a discarded song, WHEN it was discarded kind of puts it in perspective.
Sometimes, one man’s trash is another man’s musical theme for their blockbuster Broadway musical.
I wouldn't call it "discarded", since it appeared in a Hollywood film. It's the film that was trash!
Geniuses at work Rodgers , Hammerstein , Miss Martin , and Hirschfeld .
The best of the best.
Oscar Hammerstein singing!!!!
Whitney Houston brought me here
As did Victoria Clark!
A nice bit of "staged" theater nostalgia -about a non-existent Rodgers and Hammerstein
show for Mary Martin. A few facts, though: Josh Logan (shown as director) was financially burned by R&H on the stage version of SOUTH PACIFIC -receiving NO
ROYALTIES for the script he co-wrote! They later offered him director and co-authorship
of KING AND I -but his bruised ego rightly turned it down. His later attempt to get them involved with David Merrick's show FANNY also led to bad blood in financial dealings. Thus, it's HIGHLY unlikely Logan would work with them again -as the film shows. Also,
for MOST of their collaboration, R&H worked separately -Oscar would sweat over
a lyric for weeks on end and then send it over to Rodgers, who usually composed
it in as as little as a few minutes, but never more than a day or two. Their collaboration
was strictly Business. Despite all those songs of love and brotherhood, there was
little in the way of friendship between. (See Logan's memoir JOSH and various
biographies of Rodgers for the above info confirmed).
Interesting tidbits. Thank you.
Script he co wrote - Oscar Hammerstein was struggling with the naval dialogue needed
Hey, Ockie could carry a tune!
An awareness of Mary Martin makes you automatically gay. Dang.
Was that Agnes Moorhead in the audience?
Yes
4:14- 5:21 , 5:48 - 7:45
This video proves to you how none of the songs whatsoever that were included in the 1997 airing of "Cinderella" with Brandy and Whitney Houston were original! They are all older songs than those heard in "The Little Mermaid", "The Lion King", "Pocahontas", and stuff like that!
Proof was needed? It's a 'jukebox' musical.
