| To be clearer, Ken Darby's comments are not included in the album's liner notes, but I believe I read them on YouTube, where one can watch Juanita's performance from the film with her own vocals from the OBCR dubbed over Muriel's. Either there or in The South Pacific coffee table book which is available at the Drama Book Store. The album versions of the two songs were definitely not recorded for the film or for any stage production. The orchestrations, particularly for Bali Hai, make that plain. The arrangement of Happy Talk could have been, actually, but the sound quality is much better than that of the '49 cast recording so I assume it was recorded at least a few years later. She probably never did get to record tracks for the film, but I wondered if she didn't do these two recordings to prove that she was still perfectly capable of singing Bloody Mary's two songs. (Ken Darby's comments were indeed on YouTube, and I attached the link for you) |

| Thanks for the followup. That is the same link that I included in my post to you. The notes were why I attached the link. :) |

| Sorry, I hadn't looked yet. Obviously. I did read the "Band of Angels" review, however. :-) | |

| I found out today that the Juanita Hall LP you owned has been issued on CD under the title Juanita Hall: The Glory of Love. I had always assumed that CD was taken from a different recording, but a friend emailed me about it. It has all the tracks that were on the LP but in a different order, plus four additional tracks. It also has info on when the individual tracks were recorded (well, it has info on all but one of the tracks). The two South Pacific songs were recorded in October 1950. | |

| Wikipedia lists the bulk of the tracks as having been recorded in 1958, not that Wikipedia does not make frequent errors. 1958 could easily have just been the initial release date. But if any of the album was recorded in '58, it stands as proof that her voice was in good shape. (She does sound a bit off trying to harmonize on Flower Drum Song's "You Are Beautiful" that same year, however.) |

| On what wikipedia page did you find that info? On the page for Hall, I see this: "In 1958, she recorded Juanita Hall Sings the Blues (at Beltone Studios in New York City)," but I don't see anything about the album we're discussing. |

| I think it is the same album, but it's been reissued from time to time with different titles. Because albums often are reissued with different titles and an additional track or two (or even fewer tracks) it isn't always easy to be sure. I remember looking at what I thought were two albums of hers at Footlights and most of the content being the same. |

| The LP issued on Monmouth-Evergreen as Juanita Hall was issued on CD, with the tracks in different order and several additional tracks, as Juanita Hall: The Glory of Love. All the tracks except one, for which no date is listed on the CD, were recorded 1950 (at least if the info is correct). Juanita Hall Sings the Blues is comprised of a completely different group of tracks. One song, "After You've Gone," is on both, but it's a different recording of the song, with different musicians and a different arranger. Click on the links for more info.

| In which case, they give no indication of what she sounded like in 1957 when South Pacific was being filmed. Thank you! Good to know. |
