What's the range/key of this song?
-
This song is just amazing...makes me proud to be a baritone. (Not a heavy bari like McRae, more of a baritenor, but still.)
-
Probably the best song to come out of a musical. 2nd best is You'll Never Walk Alone,,,,,from the same musical. Saw my dad cry - for the only time - watching the clip from the movie. Brings tears to my eyes now I'm a dad too.

Hugh Jackman's 2002 Carnegie Hall concert performance is also pretty stellar
-
@nancypo1 Nancy, nice tribute. He is not forgotten, nor are the "incredible" composers of this masterpiece.
-
was it just me or was the ending distorted? Bummer, cause it is my favorite part!
-
Incredibly brilliant music. Incredibly brilliant voice. Incredibly brilliant actor.

I think it was all filmed in Boothbay harbor, Maine

Gordon MacRae had such physical presence as Billy, with his big chest. It's amazing what he did with this scene. And it's one of the longest musical scenes ever written for 1 character, by themselves. It's an incredible piece of acting by MacRae. Wow, what a voice... and an excellent actor, IMO...

I agree with everyone who adores Mr MacRae's voice. I think that, largely because of his voice, this is, for me, the finest 8 minutes in any R&H musical. He was amazing as Curley in Oklahoma!. The contrast between his Curley, the quintessential honest American pioneer, and Billy Bigelow, the absolute definitive depiction of a flawed man who cannot find his place in the American dream, is amazing. His work ranks high atop the greatest musical performances of the 20th Century

Yes, Macrae proves how Lloyd Weber has ruined the musical with those lousy "tenors" and other so-called singers! Macrae was a REAL singer. Nice to look at too.
