Goodbye Howard Keel
|
It's truly sad to see any great baritone go...especially the rich voice and person of Howard Keel.
Princes come, Princes go,
An hour of pomp and show they know;
Princes come and over the sands,
And over the sands of time they go.
Wise men come, Ever promising the riddle of life to know,
Wise men come, ah, but over the sands,
The silent sands of time they go.
Lovers come, Lovers go.
And all that there is to know
Lovers know; Only lovers know.
It's amazing just how many of my favorite musicals this man was in: Kiss Me Kate, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (his favorite of his movies), Calamity Jane, and the all time greatest, Kismet. He will be missed.

Time to break out the Tivo... TCM is having a Howard Keel tribute Monday at 6AM. Should be great.
