@BingandNelsonFan ; I think that Nelson like many singers, could pick out individual notes and chords well enough to make it look real in movies but not enough to claim he could actually play the piano. Nelson`s maternal great-grandmother Belinda Ackerman and his grandmother Caroline Kendrick were music teachers. His mother Isabel played the piano. Jeanette did play the piano very well. Lorraine
@BingandNelsonFan oh, I see! :) Wow, I didn't know that. But I haven't really heard Jeanette MacDonald play a piece or something. Just simple little notes!
I find that the answer I gave you before is wrong. Someone who knew him pretty well has told me that Nelson Eddy DID play piano. He was actually good enough to accompany himself. Sorry about the wrong answer.
this is a beautiful clip and shows that nelson can sing in all tempos and his voice is very rich here just a great clip and right no wonder jeanette is looking at him so tenderly when he goes full voice but i bet she wished she could go along with him too- not my fave of their movies but the voices are always magic thank you
Does Nelson Eddy ever get better than this? His singing is the BEST ever! :o) No wonder Mac is looking at him like that! Definitely one of my favorites. Thanks so much for the upload!
Such a beautiful song. It really made my cry.

@Prilpril21 She does accompany herself in the films "Three Daring Daughters" and "The Sun Comes Up". I can't think of more off-hand, sorry.

@BingandNelsonFan oh... Wow... Honestly, I haven't seen both films in full length yet. Only snippets and clips of it. Argh! :)

Beautiful, tender singing from Nelson.
You can see that in color, Nelson`s hair color was red-gray not blonde. Thanks for sharing with Us. Lorraine
