Nelson Eddy Christmas Broadcast, December 24, 1944

Today in J/N History

1940 Nelson 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.
