Yes, Nelson Eddy had a magnificent voice, very identifiable. He sings it 1/2 tone lower and his low is not like Robeson, of course, who sings it a fifth lower, I believe. For sheer magnificence, John Charles Thomas has the lock on this. Thomas had a uniquely American voice and so robust and unique. If there was ever a great instrument, it was his voice. Somebody should post it.
I really like Paul Robeson, but this version means so much to me, probably because this is the one which sings out of the Trees of Mystery in Crescent City, California when you walk through the forest of Redwoods. Extremely old fashioned, but so wonderful. I surely hope they keep the Trees of Mystery roadside stop nice and old timey as they've been doing. And that they keep with Nelson Eddy ... even if this kind of music and this kind of singing is over, it is lovely to remember and respect
@lindaravenswood Yes a great version. I don't think this kind of music is over OR this kind of singing .....While ever there are people like you and I to enjoy it... Nostalgia aint it great....!!!!!
Listen to Mario Lanza's version of Trees - it is absolutely beautiful. Nobody can touch Mario for clarity and sheer mastery of voice......

I have heard Robert Merrill`s very nice rendition of this song, but I like Nelson`s the best.
Nelson loved poetry and he sang several poems set to music in his repertoir. Lorraine
