 Yes, indeed, Pim.   Ukulele Ike performing "Singin' in the Rain" (1929); and repeated in the MGM compilation "That's Entertainment" (1976); ( I think it was originally featured with Ike in "The Hollywood Revue of 1929"); together with Judy Garland's rendition in "Little Nelly Kelly" (1941), MGM again; and perhaps definitively by Gene Kelly in MGM's "Singin in the Rain" (1952)  Must have saved the company a fortune in royalties, although composer/writer Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed were both shrewd MGM 'staffers' for many years.  Hollywood royalty.

The number was also brilliantly parodied by Morecambe & Wise in the 1970s.

Happy memories.   Smiley

  Thanks, martle.     As soon as I see the avatar, I break into:

            "If they could see me now..."   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy   1, 2, 3 and....

   Incidentally, I was intrigued by your work last night, glad to hear your voice on the intro; the whole thing now recorded for posterity.

Yes, indeed, Stanley. Wink

"That's Entertainment" was my introduction to the marvelous world of MGM musicals. I found the opening of this movie (featuring Ike!) on Youtube, but the editing is a bit nasty:

Oh, dear: I now see that the complete film is available on Youtube!  Cool

Oh, no way.

This is ridiculous.

I do hope Clement's interpolations into the Beethoven concerto were at least half this good.

Meanwhile, I've been digging around on YouTube where there's a selection of old Bolshoi clips.... 

... here's Mark Reizen singing Gremin's aria from ONEGIN...  at the age of 90, in a birthday tribute to the man Smiley

http://youtube.com/watch?v=1MzO56PmjQ4

My thanks to Tommo for pointing this out to me - amazing singing.

Here's an earlier clip of Reizen singing Boris Godunov: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JfTTj3nGLXM&feature=related

plus another Boris clip with the wonderful, larger than life performance of Boris Christoff in the death scene: http://youtube.com/watch?v=iucfEGqRSpQ&feature=related and http://youtube.com/watch?v=X3scGj809zk&feature=related and http://youtube.com/watch?v=Fvmdct5PFxQ&feature=related I think Christoff was a great singing actor and probably the artist I wish I'd been able to see in the theatre more than any other.

Ouch. Painful memory dredged up there, IGI. The scene: Floral Street, mid 1970s(?). The young(-ish, -er) Garnett with precious ticket clutched in one hand for that night's performance of Boris Godunov with Christoff, but clutching stomach with the other hand because of lurgi that had been building up during the day, finally admitting defeat and selling ticket to someone who could hardly believe his luck. Crawled home, exploding periodically, cursing the stomach bug gods, and feeling sick at heart at own idiocy. Never had another opportunity Sad
