This is a remarkable song that has stuck inside my head for decades. I love to hear versions of it and this one is wonderful....Les Baxter, unsung genius..let's honor this man with a television special or a box set of CD's and maybe a good biography ..
That was great! Billions of people can put their lips together and blow, but can't make it sound like that. A real gift. Beautiful stuff. Thanks for sharing it.
I tend to think of Andrew Bird, one of my favorite performers, when I think of whistling — and I still do — but wow... Muzzy's whistling is beautiful!
This whistling grabbed my attention during boyhood and has lingered on for almost an eternity (so to speak). It sounds so uncontrived...carefree. It's a pleasure listening to, even during these senior years.
I used to watch Muzzy Marcellino perform live at tapings of Art Linkletter's House Party at CBS Television City in the 1960's (one summer I went 11 times). His artful whistling always impressed me.
@PismoBeach You were lucky. i live in nyc and worked for the new herald tribune and got tickets for the tonight show. met jerry lewis and frank sinatra. i was off weekdays and went to the the nbc rca building studios to see the tv shows all day. occasionally i went to cbs studio 54 and 53 to see cbs-tv shows.

Yes, I went to Columbia Square to see a few things but mostly to CBS Television City at Beverly & Fairfax. Plus a few shows at CBS Studio Center in the Valley: Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart.

Wow, thanks so much for posting this!! Muzzy whistled beautifully... It certainly has become a lost art, to whistle so musically.
