Ethel Merman and Bruce Yarnell Sing "It's Wonderful," From Annie Get Your Gun

I'm pretty sure this is Ray Middleton singing with Merman. I know it it isn't Bruce Yarnell. Yarnell sang with her in the 1966 Lincon Center production.

@chas99 Well, I can't say for sure, but this is an Amazon MP3 download, and it was listed as being from the original cast recording.

One of the rare, quiet moments to savor her voice and talent... He was much better as the Toreador in Carmen with M. Horne!

@Randidan Good observation. Thanks. Yarnell was a darned good baritone, and I particularly wanted to put something up by Merman that was a little less bombastic, although the bombast is fun also: "Theeeeeere's....NO business like SHOW business, etc. :-) I just love Merman....I think everybody does.

Penetrating is right - some times it like she is firing the notes out e.g "There's no business like show business" but with such flair!

@verdiwag Yes, that was an amazing voice!
