Happy July 4th! Hear Jeanette and Nelson sing!

Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald were patriotic Americans. During World War II, Nelson worked as a spy while on an overseas singing tour; Jeanette received a medal from FDR for raising over $100,000 stateside, auctioning off encores at her concerts.

For your listening pleasure on this patriotic holiday:

Nelson sings America.

Jeanette sings the Star Spangled Banner.

Today in J/N History

1944 Nelson writes the first draft of a movie treatment for himself and Jeanette entitled "Timothy Waits for Love." The plot somewhat resembles Mel Gibson's movie "Forever Young" (1992) in which the hero is cryogenically frozen and wakes up years later to be reunited with his lost love.
