Listen to Nelson & Jeanette Easter Music

This weekend marks religious holidays for at least two religions. It’s a time for reflection and hope for peace on earth. For those observing Easter – and everyone else – let’s listen to Jeanette and Nelson. Sound quality isn’t the greatest but let’s be thankful we have these recordings at all to enjoy. (The Jeanette one is from a 1949 radio show.)

Jeanette MacDonald: Christ the Lord Has Risen

Nelson Eddy: Easter Medley

As for the photo above…well, it’s just a beautiful, intimate shot of them.

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.
