GISELE MacKENZIE: June Is Busting Out All Over - Hit Parade

The TV seasons were long back in 1956 for Gisele MacKenzie, Dorothy Collins, Russell Arms, Snooky Lanson, Raymond Scott (orch) and Ray Charles (chorus)! Running into June, here Gisele MacKenzie is seen doing a "Your Hit Parade" extra, June Is Busting Out All Over, from the musical Carousel. This little piece of video became a good representation of Gisele's musical/comedy abilities and through the years she starred in Gypsy, Hello Dolly, Unsinkable Molly Brown, Mame, Kind & I, South Pacific, Annie Get Your Gun, etc. Gisele was the all-around performer...perfect for TV and musical-comedy.

If any one cares my birthday is in June. June 14 in fact.

@jamesdelude I guess I really don't care....but now that I know, I'll wish you a happy belated birthday anyhow.

the segment from 0:30 to 0:37 sounds a little like the part of "it's a grand night for singing" (from "state fair") that goes "the earth is aglow and to add to the show i think i am falling in love."

@wallofvideo Aren't both songs by Richard Rodgers? Good observation.

We never missed "Hit Parade" back then. Sure brings back memories of when a TV could also be used to heat a small room.

I had the pleasure of serving her dinner at my uncles restaurant in Carmel, Ca. in 68 or 69. Don't remember the exact date.

What is "Yout hit parade"?

[VideosTimes2]

Was a fan...from when I was a little boy. We became good friends and it lasted a lifetime. She was a lovely lady. I saw MANY of her concerts, theater shows, etc. and visited her in her home several times.

How did you know Gisele? Were you in show

biz too? A Canadian?

I always liked pop singers who had good voices like Jane Morgan and Vic Damon.

Don't care much for the "song stylists" like Tony Bennett or Mel Torme or Patty Page.

They don't really produce a wonderful sound.

(IMHO. Yes, viewers are entitled to their

own opinions.)

Yes it is nice, isn't it? Gisele did a LOT of shows throughout her career, but never did "Carousel."
