JN134 – Nelson Eddy: The Live Nightclub Act

Nelson’s live nightclub act, circa 1960s, co-starring Gale Sherwood and Ted Paxson. Recorded live from a “portable” reel-to-reel tape recorder that a fan had with her at the performance! Sound quality is fair but improves after the opening number.

* During Nelson’s nightclub years he sang one song per show that was his “private” song for Jeanette MacDonald. The audience was never aware of this but even after her death, Nelson continued to have one special number for her.

Due to the age and scarcity of the original non-commercial recordings, sound quality on this album may not be up to today’s standards.
