  • Oh I know whom she is...i've loved her work for many years, and IMHO, her performance as Nettie is nothing short of brilliant..and my apologies..according to Wikipedia..she is most certainly alive..i am sorry for my mistake....thank you for your clarification..

  • Wow I've seen this movie way too many time. I can say the lines before they do. But awesome movie! I love it!

  • @Sugarbehr1967 The incomparable coloratura opera singer Clara Mae Turner and actress is the actress who played the role of Nettie in this movie version of Carousel. This movie which was filmed in 1956 was the only movie she appeared in although she remained active in the opera world many years after this movie was released..

  • Has there ever been a song thats so emotive. It is so beautifull it makes me cry before the tune starts. W¡hatever age you are this tune is so strong and true. It is about strength and quality of personality. We all need to be strong sometimes.

  • @piskapiskapiska It's a long story - It is not the original soundtrack you're hearing - YOUTUBE advised me that INGROOVES owns the copyright to the soundtrack and blocked the video from being viewed in the US. I used another version of the song by the same actress, Claramae Turner to get around the problem. My original video with the original soundtrack is still viewable outside theiUS. Please refer to the description box for the link to this video. Thanks,

  • @romympanlilio Is Claramae Turner still alive?

  • Love this song. Like to dedicate this song to my momma, who's name was Julie. I miss you momma and daddy. Thanks for posting You Tube.

  • @ladyartemas912 You're welcome. Glad you loved the video.

  • It takes a contralto to sing this song.

  • @SugarTomAppleRoger Yes, Clara Mae Turner who sang the song in rhe movie was a contralto. Thanks for the comment.

  • @romympanlilio no wait wasn't she a coloratura soprano?

  • @helencheddar Her biography classifies her as a "rare true" contralto.

  • @helencheddar -- No! Marian Anderson qualified as a coloratura (and nothing to do with her color, just her vocal range), but not Shirley Jones, who was more the soprano. Anderson could hit solid low notes that Shirley could never get close to. I attended concerts of Marian Anderson in the forties.
