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.

Perfect song for ringing in 2022 after these terrible pandemic years. Here’s to being a cockeyed optimist!
I wish I could find the whole movie! I am 75 years old and this beings me very happy memories.
Magnificent Mitzi is unmatched as Nellie.
I learned the entire score of this show when I was 11 years old. I still remember the lyrics today at age 72.
Interesting...my story is very similar. My parents bought the soundtrack LP way back then and I heard it many times as a youngster. The line that has stayed with me thru life is, "I hear the human race, is falling on its face and hasn't very far to go." That line somehow seems more poignant now than ever before.
❤️🥰
Mitzi gaynor was superb as nellie. A perfect choice for the role.
I know every word and tune from this fine musical. My sister and I spent hours, throughout our childhood, listening to South Pacific, The King and I. Those were our favorites.

Lesley Gore sung my favourite rendition of this, check it out!
Maravillosa, pero con subtítulos en castellano estaría mejor.
Porque debe ser en castellano? En espanol no seria suficiente?
