Today we celebrate the life and artistry of beloved singer Nelson Eddy, born this day in 1901.
Today in J/N History
1940Nelson sings in Philadelphia despite being ill. He is falling apart on this tour, physically and emotionally, particularly since Ann is with him for this leg of it. Critics find his hoarse voice "below par" and though he tries to struggle through the rest of it, he eventually collapses and is transported back to an LA hospital by his mother and a nurse.
