the segment from 0:30 to 0:37 sounds a little like the part of "it's a grand night for singing" (from "state fair") that goes "the earth is aglow and to add to the show i think i am falling in love."
Good point about the censorship! Gisele often told the story about how she and Dorothy Collins were always stuck singing "Let Me Go Lover" because males weren't allowed to say or sing the word "Lover" on TV! O brother!
Gisele was one of the finest performers in the business...she kept herself trim and ready for any role, right up until she left us after battle cancer. I knew her well, and she was one of the finest people I've ever known!
Was a fan...from when I was a little boy. We became good friends and it lasted a lifetime. She was a lovely lady. I saw MANY of her concerts, theater shows, etc. and visited her in her home several times.
If any one cares my birthday is in June. June 14 in fact.

@jamesdelude I guess I really don't care....but now that I know, I'll wish you a happy belated birthday anyhow.

We never missed "Hit Parade" back then. Sure brings back memories of when a TV could also be used to heat a small room.

@wallofvideo Aren't both songs by Richard Rodgers? Good observation.

Yes it is nice, isn't it? Gisele did a LOT of shows throughout her career, but never did "Carousel."

How did you know Gisele? Were you in show
biz too? A Canadian?
I always liked pop singers who had good voices like Jane Morgan and Vic Damon.
Don't care much for the "song stylists" like Tony Bennett or Mel Torme or Patty Page.
They don't really produce a wonderful sound.
(IMHO. Yes, viewers are entitled to their
own opinions.)

I had the pleasure of serving her dinner at my uncles restaurant in Carmel, Ca. in 68 or 69. Don't remember the exact date.
