Fanny Brice (who inspired "Funny Girl" with Barbra Streisand) in the complete pre-recording of her signature "My Man" (also a major song for Billie Holiday and Streisand) for the Oscar winning film "The Great Ziegfeld" in which she played herself. The recording opens with William Powell as Ziegfeld with his lines and then the complete song (which was heavily edited in the very lengthy film). Pity as it is a remarkable performance. Cleaned of heavy noise and pops from the transfer of the disk by Tormented Artist Ink Studios (me).
This is fantastic. Brice performs with so much feeling. I wish they'd used this, unedited, in the film. Thanks for posting this.
