Bing Crosby & Nanette Fabray spoof Nelson & Jeanette!

Thanks to Maria Escano for bringing this to our attention:

Hello Everyone:

Just got a kick out of Indian Love Call sung by Bing and Nanette in this TV episode of the Hollywood Palace, March 26, 1966. It starts at about 3:50
Bing Crosby and Nanette Fabray give us a musical history lesson and show that everything old is new again.

Apparently love duets throughout the years go something like this: cavemen uggs ? “Greensleeves” ? the minuet ? opera ? the Floradora Girls ? Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy ? “Baby It’s Cold Outside” ? discotheque uggs.

Today in J/N History

1939 Nelson marries Ann Franklin in Las Vegas, accompanied by his reluctant mother Isabel and Ann's friend Doris Kenyon. Kenyon was a silent film actress and also occasionally co-starred with Nelson in live opera in Los Angeles. Nelson by his own statement had been drinking and one newspaper clipping noted that he was halfway up the aisle before realizing that Doris not Ann was at his side.
