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

1934 Jeanette sings on the Atwater Kent radio show. (Interesting that a decade or so later, she and Nelson would serve as judges for the Atwater Kent singing competitions.)
