@hep2jive Buckle Down, Winsocki was an important song to the WWII generation. It was in a Broadway musical that opened shortly before Pearl Harbor. The lyrics struck a chord with American fighting men.
Google the lyrics.

@hipdadiddy Thank You! Tearing out what little hair I have left trying to remember that.

I saw this movie when I was a kid and I was lucky enough to see Mr Dix on stage at the Loew's State Theater. He really wow'd the audience, enough for five or six encores. What a voice, and judging by his biography, what a great and good life also.

My Grandmother would sing the lyrics to this song. I had no idea what is was from until today.

Who knew that voice would have came out of him?

I happen to know Mr. Dix (he's still alive and well in his late 80's now) and I can assure you that his voice was NOT dubbed. He was about 20 when the film was shot in 1942/3. The directors intentionally lit and use makeup to make him appear younger than his peers. However, in that final graduation scene where he belts out "Winsocki" we see the boy become a man before our eyes. The facial expressions, the choreography and the movements all contribute to it. The transformation is amazing.
