[sweettooth565]

the whole score is great a very very hard choice.

[nicelydone31]

fave howard keel song ever!

[AMY1213141]

lol, he's only known katie for less than a day and has barely spoken to her

:)

[xcountrybabex]

Loving Calamity Jane! Can you upload 'keep it under your hat!' please!!! :)

[thegeezerdan]

Good song from a good film.

[Mrphilharmonic]

Just a wonderful song - great lyrics, beautiful tune and a perfect vehicle for Howard Keel's rich baritone voice. WHY don't/can't they write songs like this anymore? Don't try and tell me all the notes have been used up!

[SawyersFreckles1981]

God he was such an unbelieveably gorgeous man!

[lemonpeg1]

I find myself hardly breathing as I listen to Howard Keel singing this! What a song! What a man! Thanks for posting this.Really takes me back!!!

[danlen86]

lovely song it reminds me of my dogs.

[EvilgidgitReturns]

The painter's like "Who ya singing to?"

[nicelydone31]

i said that i would never fall, but if you promise not to tell...

i love that line! and the voice and the man!

[bilgun3]

This tune sounds a little like the beautiful string trio section in the middle of the otherwise rousing "Homage March" in Grieg's music from Bjornsson's play 'Sigurd Jorsalfar.'

[Kaberson]

they don't make men like this any more......

[DollyParton2000009]

@Kaberson So turee :(. Have to look hard lol x

[dangermouse67]

I just so enjoy Howard Keels voice it was the best of a great bunch back then....he could have sung the phone book...unlike some of the crap around today!!

[karatechick306]

Man alive, he is so handsome.

[soni7412]

In 1971 on leave from Vietnam, I took my wife to see Howard in Man of Lamacha in LA Tremendous voice and a big guy. Excellent entertainer. Thanks for the video

2nd best song in the movie

[Delia1950]

I love this SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much

[torchwho16]

He is so handsome! why can't he still be alive and young like that!

[k6musicteacher]

This is such a GREAT tune, the kind you want to sing in the shower and can't get out of your head for days and are glad because of it! I can't hear this song without thinking of "Oklahoma" with it's "hawok" and "heed". I do wish they would have placed it another whole step up, it might have shown off his voice just a little better.  But, excellent phrasing and intonation, hard not to enjoy this performance! THANKS FOR POSTING!

[thehollyrosehoward]

i really have fallen in love with him in this film

[jdsmyhero85]

*swoon* He is SO handsome! Amazing looks, voice, and song!

[windwalkerguide]

[Ecdysiast96]

stop making me laugh. I'm always higher than a hawk. oy. I love you. I used to sing hive full of honey at open mics before my friend blake moved to new york

[nicelydone31]

"i said that i would never fall, i laughed at others when they fell!" so true, i love it and i love his voice it is sublime! (sigh)

[livlafluvlam]

Please post the whole movie :) pleeeaase :) I luv it so much! ITs my fav movie!!!!

[JohnnyContagious]

Used to have countless good natured arguments with my Dad over which was the best song from this musical. He went for 'Secret Love', which is undeniably great, but I always preferred this one.

Not many leading men combined looks, charisma, presence and talent the way Howard Keel did.

Just such a shame he didn't really start to establish himself in film musicals until the genre was on its way out.

[Delia1950]

@JohnnyContagious

I so loved Howard Keel.

Everything about him.

And still do !!!!

[sk8rgurl22362]

this is such a great song from such a great film. i am gonna subscribe xD

[myrle16]

this one, secret love and blackhills are my favorite songs, although ill admit, it wasnt always that way! needless to say, i lllooovvveee this song!!!!

[Ikesano]

There is little or none "jealousy" by Fans or Admirers of these two. All the Guys support Howard just as much as the Gals. And Vice Versa for Doris supported by both Men & the Women. Thank you, Great Show by these Two!

[nysel01]

oooooooooo the 40's and 50's... how much I wish I was alive in those times...^-^

[inkenyo]

[herlastvoyage]

You love Calam...not her, Bill!!!

[EmmaJayne4]
