Is this the MOST BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRATIONAL SONG EVER WRITTEN???? THAT VOICE, THE GLORY OR HER ART....I SEE THE CLOUDS PARTING! AND I AM NOT RELIGIOUS!

What a lovely singer, actor, and woman! Discovering her has been such a pleasure. May she rest in peace, and how grateful we are for her talent and legacy.I will look for more recordings of her.

Mary Martin was a bit old to play Maria, wasn't she? She was 47 in 1960!

Thank you so very much for this beautiful remembrance. I felt as I did fifty years ago as a mesmerized nine year old boy sitting on the edge of his seat at the Lunt Fontanne Theatre the first time I ever heard this song. The sheer beauty and power of the orchestration and Miss Neway's vocal as she stood at the edge of the stage was overwhelming. I sat in my seat during intermission in silence so I wouldn't burst into tears. My parents asked if I liked the show and all I could do was nod my head.
