Great songs. Great singers. Great show. Superb compilation. Well done Romympanlilio!
Didn't think they wrote songs like this any more until I heard "We're Gonna Get There". It's a
new 50's style show song. Really cheered me up. Lively tune and lyrics so full of hope, I uploaded it for everyone to enjoy. Just type in "Misjikins" in YouTube and listen.
This movie and 7 Brides for 7 Seven Brothers are my favorites from the 50-60's era!! There is nothing like the orginial! Though Hugh Jackman did do Gordon some justice!
My parent took me to see this in Hollywood when I was just a wee lad. For me, this is the Grandaddy of all musicals. Although the Wizard of Oz is a different kind of musical for me.
My mother and I watched this on TV and I used to sing this song every morning on the way to school. It always gave me a lift in my heart and brought a smile on my face.
Gordon MacRae was not only one of the greatest and very best singers of all time, but his acting ability was Superb. One of Gods all time best creations!
Yet another classic American song written by two proud Jewish Americans, Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein. Whenever you see or hear anti-Jewish neo-nazi or terror-islamist screed on youtube or anywhere else, [if you can, pleas "flag" that video/uploader & also please remind them of all the beautiful things the Jewish people have contributed to America, culturally, musically, scientifically and humanitarian-ly.
I woke up feeling this way -so I'm watching the movie right now. I've been smiling the whole time. One of my favorite musicals ever. I don't know how many times I've seen it & I never tire of it. I am always so moved by the beautiful quality of Mr. MacRae's voice, not to mention the sweetness of young Miss Jones!
Shirley Jones went to a routine casting call aged 18 - the casting director called the director, the director called Hammerstein and he called Richard Rodgers ..the rest , as they say is history.
I'm watching this because in February I'm IN THE OKLAHOMA PLAY!!!! YEAH BABY! I got the part of...... AUNT ELLER! Seriously, I'm not joking. I'm so excited!
I watched this movie when I fell in love with the man I married. I liked singing the line "People Will Say We're in Love!" That was 16 years ago, and I still have that giddy feeling with "ma Sweetheart!!"
My school did this production one year. We loved it SO much. We all wondered why all musicals couldn't be this beautiful. I miss my "Oklahoma!" family so much. If you're reading this, NHS Musical Theatre Family!
I saw this for the first time as a kid, my cousin Paulene and I saw it at Penshurst (Sydney) I loved it then and still do, I sang O what a beutiful morning so much that my dad gave me a kick up the behind and told me no more, this is true , everytime I hear this it reminds me of it.Im 60 now but can still remember exactly were I was when I got the boot.
@romympanlilio Thank You ... My Dad and I watched this many, many times ..My Dad passed a few years ago now but this still puts a smile on my face . Beautiful musical
We just did this play at my school this year and I have to admit this is reason I started watching musicals. They have meaning and they are just amazing.
I'm 60, hadn't thought about this in so long! It came to mind because our weather was so nice, and it's a beautiful morning! Thanks, brings back lots of memories! =)
My family all love musicals. I hear so many other people say so too. They really need to find a way to make them again, so they will be popular with everybody. Shirley Jones has a beautiful voice!
@msteresaeaton Why did I know somebody was going to ask me that one of these days. I did a little googling and here is what I got -- The bulk of the movie was shot in and around Nogales Arizona because, in 1955, the real-life Oklahoma was very heavily farmed and developed that suitable areas for the setting of the movie were scarce. They needed rural and undeveloped areas which more resembled the turn of the century setting of the musical.
@msteresaeaton Filming locations also included: The Green Cattle Co. ranch in San Raphael Valley, Arizona and San Rafael Ranch State Park also in Arizona, and some filming in New Mexico.
@msteresaeaton Just because there are hills in the background doesn't mean it's not OK. Apparently you've never visited the SE part of the state...where the OUACHITA mountain range is??? Which is NOT to say it was filmed in OK...but you shouldn't think it couldn't have been filmed there just because there are hills in the background :)
@hydrogeo99 Hmm..yes you are right I have never visited the Southeast part of Oklahoma, but when I saw this clip I was thinking not only of the hills but of the entire landscape and I though mmmm..that's not Oklahoma
@msteresaeaton Just because there are hills in the background doesn't mean it's not Oklahoma. Apparently you've never visited the SE part of the state...where the OUACHITA mountain range is??? Which is NOT to say it was filmed in OK...but you shouldn't think it couldn't have been filmed there just because there are hills in the background :)
Wouldn't it be better to focus on the actual movie and lyrics of the songs??? "The corn is as high as an elephant's eye", "Your hand feels so grand in mine", "Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry" - so much fun and romanticism in just about everything about this movie - even the scenes with Judd Fry! Obviously one of my favourites - but everyone should keep an open mind!
@smclarty11 Don't misunderstand me, I do enjoy the film and the songs. I am just the type of person to notice little details, and having lived in central Oklahoma and traveled to different parts of Oklahoma I couldn't help but notice the difference in the landscape of the film and what I'm used to seeing in Oklahoma.
@msteresaeaton - "Location shooting was done mostly in Nogales, Arizona. The corn field in the opening number was located in a farm in Amado, Arizona. The train station used in the "Kansas City" routine was located in Elgin, Arizona. Sound stage and backlot sequences were filmed at MGM Studios in Culver City, CA." - Wikipedia: "Oklahoma! (film)"

@maureenmo1 No ... as far as I'm aware, Gordon has never played Tarzan ... It would be a complete Waste of his astounding, unique musical talent for a startLOL
@darthgrahf Chicago FOR THE WIN :P SOX FOR THE WIN ahhh chicago the best hometown in the world. on the west side you see drug dealers on every corner and corruption everywhere
How wonderful. I loved virago 1776's comment, too. I shall be using this song with the students I teach English here in Belgium. We'll sing it for their 'Fancy Fair' in May. Yes, oh, what a beautiful morning, indeed!
I'm sneaking in Saturday to my daughter's house ( She knows about it), to cook breakfast for my beautiful 5 grand children aged 8 to 14.
I will wake them up, (4 Grand daughters and one grand son), and they will come stumbling out all sleepy eyed in their flannel jammies to the smells of bacon and eggs, orange juice and hot chocolate and toast and buttered biscuits and jelly to the sound of this song.
@virago1776 I hope to do the same when I have have grandkids. Not only is it wonderful music, but you are passing on an appreciation of it. Oh sure, they might think it's corny now, but one day...they will be somewhere and hear it and it will remind them of you. And one day further along their journey, the memories of you and the wonderful music and good times will turn to just pure love.
I sang musicals and opera for over 30 years, and this guy's voice is my favorite male voice ever, period. Absolute perfection.
Go listen to My Funny Valentine by Gordon. You'll love that too. Also see if you can find the old Jolson hit Sonny Boy, sung by Gordon. Splendid in every way.
I recently watched 100 Great Musicals this was lower in the ratings than "Buffy The Musical" who the hell was voting they just stopped making great musicals and need to get back into it.....Buffy the musical pleeeeease..............give me a break
The musical episode of Buffy (it is just the one episode) is one of the best episodes of one of the best TV programmes ever made. The tunes in Oklahoma are probably better, but the Buffy episode is great too.
@dangermouse67 woah woah woah....woah they made a musical of buffy!?!?!?!!? why was i not informed?!?!? or is this from the '90s cause i never even heard of vampires or slaying in the '90s..i was too innocent
@themaxster100 There was a single musical episode of Buffy, called "Once More With Feeling". It was, in my opinion, the best episode of Buffy ever made.
@skrubsam They cant do that, the people that made that good music are dead long time ago. The 1930s up to around 1980 was the best periode when talking about writing good music. The time we have today is nothing in comparison with that era.
@nutsbutdum Hi! This was not a TV show. broadcast This was the classic 1955 movie based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway musical play of the same title, I clipped the musical sequences featured in my video from the recent 50th anniversary re-mastered DVD edition of the movie. The DVD can be purchased online at Amazon. I'm glad you enjoyed the video,
We had to sing some of these songs in public school in the 1960s in Ohio. I found them magical and then I saw the movie, which is a real treat. I am in France, now, and keep to my Amish farm ways but run a racy salon outside Paris. I have favorited this so my students can enjoy it. Thank you!
Lebron has left us but Cleveland is still here. I live in Independence, you probably know where it is. I was in France twice, last time was a couple of years ago. Take care of Moulin Rouge.
@romympanlilio I don't really miss Ohio much but miss my Amish roots. Check me out in the book MODERN WOMEN by MoMA, I am Lisa Baumgardner there, my maiden name. You will laugh! I was a NY punk and the Sex Pistols copied my style for their album cover with the poison pen lettering, and check out my movie GIRL PACK up on YouTube, it has Cleveland music in it! xo
@romympanlilio Check out my video, FUNICULAR FUN! I live just North of Montmartre and can actually walk there, but am disabled. Were I on a higher floor, I could see Le Moulin from here!
I had bought the Rodger & Hammerstein's collector's edition DVDs last year, and I just finished watching Oklahoma! the other night.. I really enjoyed listening to the songs they sing... they have such lovely voices! :D
sighh love this movie!..the grace, the elegance.....it just makes you feel happy! you can't help but smile! thanks for uploading all these clips together! its perfect! Smiles from Pakistan! :))))
@samaritan80 You're most welcome!! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had as much fun putting it together. Thank you for the nice comment. Regards to you and everybody there in Pakistan.
I got to sing the Oklahoma OK song in a spike spring production thing in jr high and have been inlove with this musical and the songs ever since then! lol
Thanks for the music. I saw the play 'Oklahoma' last week here in central Georgia. The play and music were fantastic. Then I found your posted music and have listened to it several times. Matter of fact I found myself humming "Oklahoma your OK" and other lines from the songs as my Missouri Tigers football team was beating the OK Sooners football team last weekend.
@SloanHOliver You're welcome. It wasn't the outcome the OK Sooners team would like to see but you couldn't be humming a more uplifting music !! Thank you for the comment.
Thanks for posting this, I grew up listening to recordings of musicals like this and "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" was the earworm I woke up with this morning - I love the lyrics and Gordon MacCrae's voice....
just saw the play (:

I'm sneaking in Saturday to my daughter's house ( She knows about it), to cook breakfast for my beautiful 5 grand children aged 8 to 14.
I will wake them up, (4 Grand daughters and one grand son), and they will come stumbling out all sleepy eyed in their flannel jammies to the smells of bacon and eggs, orange juice and hot chocolate and toast and buttered biscuits and jelly to the sound of this song.
Thank you so much for posting this.
It helped me to plan my weekend.

@virago1776 Oh yeah, and they have to hug me.
What could be better than all that?

@virago1776 You're welcome . . . . I can almost smell the bacon.

@virago1776 I hope to do the same when I have have grandkids. Not only is it wonderful music, but you are passing on an appreciation of it. Oh sure, they might think it's corny now, but one day...they will be somewhere and hear it and it will remind them of you. And one day further along their journey, the memories of you and the wonderful music and good times will turn to just pure love.

I sang musicals and opera for over 30 years, and this guy's voice is my favorite male voice ever, period. Absolute perfection.
Go listen to My Funny Valentine by Gordon. You'll love that too. Also see if you can find the old Jolson hit Sonny Boy, sung by Gordon. Splendid in every way.

The musical episode of Buffy (it is just the one episode) is one of the best episodes of one of the best TV programmes ever made. The tunes in Oklahoma are probably better, but the Buffy episode is great too.

@themaxster100 There was a single musical episode of Buffy, called "Once More With Feeling". It was, in my opinion, the best episode of Buffy ever made.

@skrubsam They cant do that, the people that made that good music are dead long time ago. The 1930s up to around 1980 was the best periode when talking about writing good music. The time we have today is nothing in comparison with that era.

During which period was this show broadcast on TV?
nutsbutdum 1 year ago
@nutsbutdum Hi! This was not a TV show. broadcast This was the classic 1955 movie based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway musical play of the same title, I clipped the musical sequences featured in my video from the recent 50th anniversary re-mastered DVD edition of the movie. The DVD can be purchased online at Amazon. I'm glad you enjoyed the video,

We had to sing some of these songs in public school in the 1960s in Ohio. I found them magical and then I saw the movie, which is a real treat. I am in France, now, and keep to my Amish farm ways but run a racy salon outside Paris. I have favorited this so my students can enjoy it. Thank you!

Lebron has left us but Cleveland is still here. I live in Independence, you probably know where it is. I was in France twice, last time was a couple of years ago. Take care of Moulin Rouge.

@romympanlilio I don't really miss Ohio much but miss my Amish roots. Check me out in the book MODERN WOMEN by MoMA, I am Lisa Baumgardner there, my maiden name. You will laugh! I was a NY punk and the Sex Pistols copied my style for their album cover with the poison pen lettering, and check out my movie GIRL PACK up on YouTube, it has Cleveland music in it! xo

Thanks for the music. I saw the play 'Oklahoma' last week here in central Georgia. The play and music were fantastic. Then I found your posted music and have listened to it several times. Matter of fact I found myself humming "Oklahoma your OK" and other lines from the songs as my Missouri Tigers football team was beating the OK Sooners football team last weekend.

@SloanHOliver You're welcome. It wasn't the outcome the OK Sooners team would like to see but you couldn't be humming a more uplifting music !! Thank you for the comment.

Thanks for posting this, I grew up listening to recordings of musicals like this and "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" was the earworm I woke up with this morning - I love the lyrics and Gordon MacCrae's voice....
