You have great taste

[cleanears]

Great! No tenors around sing this way or have this kind of honest way of performing...

[SENAFOREVER]

Thanks so much for this.

Well, what can you say, he wasn't Toscanini's favorite tenor for no reason. Just finished watching the entire documentary, thanks for posting this. Learned a lot about his early life I didn't know before.

Thanks for posting. I have added to my Interviews playlist where I can play the whole program and refer back to it!

You are brave in posting this. I hope it stays up. I always admired Jan Peerce greatly. He was a real mensch.

[RADAMES1983]

Thank you!

One of the greatest tenors.

I Feld in love with his voice and performance when i was 14, as the Duce in Rigoletto, on the famous recording on the Met, 1945 I think. Great artist!

This is a really great biography. I bought it awhile ago. I only wish they would have showed the entire black and white Bluebird of Paradise clip, along with the Ed Sullivan footage. Thanks for posting this on YouTube!
