@DoubleOhSammy - true, and even when she was pretending to be a bad singer, you could still hear the power and quality of her singing voice.

i love rex smith's voice!! its beautiful

Although the acting is good his American accent ruins this song, really needs to work on those vowels.

Patricia and Rex are a great team!

@DoubleOhSammy What you mentioned about Hyacinth Bucket being a terrible singer. It reminded me of a comedy album from the 1950s, I think, in which Jo Stafford and Paul Weston camped it up as a married lounge lizard couple named Jonathan and Darlene Edwards. It was a tribute to them -- as it is to Pat Routledge -- how good you have to be to be deliberately bad for comedic effect.

The thing I like about Pat Routledge's portrayal is that she's strong enough as both a singer and an actress that Rex can go at full throttle. I have heard the recording with Estelle Parsons as Ruth and seen the movie with Angela Lansbury. Rex's voice was too strong for both of them, so he had to pull back. Not so here. I'm only sorry Routledge couldn't stay for the Broadway production.

haha dude I agree!! he's fricken amazing! he should be the phantom of the opera or something bigger than Gilbewrt and Sullivan.

Yes, she's a really good singer. The amusing thing is that Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Boo-Kay) was a terrible singer, even if Patricia herself is very talented.
But then I suppose that's what makes her so good - the fact that she was able to PRETEND that she couldn't sing, and do it so well!

Yes, it definitely is. I believe she was about 51 when this was recorded.
