Nelson Eddy - A perfect day

Nelson Ackerman Eddy (June 29, 1901 - March 6, 1967) was an American singer who appeared in 19 musical films during the 1930s and 1940s, as well as in opera and on the concert stage, radio, television, and in nightclubs. Although he was a classically trained baritone, he is best remembered for the eight films in which he costarred with soprano Jeanette MacDonald.

During his 40-year career, he earned three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (one each for film, recording, and radio), left his footprints in the wet cement at Grauman's Chinese Theater, earned three Gold records, and was invited to sing at the third inauguration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He also introduced millions of young Americans to classical music and inspired many of them to pursue a musical career.

I also like Paul Robeson in this song, I am currently trying to make a virtual "duet" with the two versions:)

He doesn't seem that he's had a perfect day - a little bit sullen and cheesed off. Still great performance and song. Thanks for posting

Beautifully sung. The Carrie Jacobs Bond song was the favorite of President Warren G. Harding.
