I remember Lucy talking to Jack Paar about "Wildcat' around Christmas of 1960. She seemed a bit enthusiastic then.

Was it her first television interview?

I remember Lucy being interviewed by Paar around that time. She was also promoting "The Facts of Life," which premiered about a month before "Wildcat." Eventually the conversation turned to the upcoming show and Paar asked Lucy whether she'd be singing. She replied, somewhat apologetically, "Yeah, I have to."

Lucy does her own singing in a terrific 1940 film called DANCE, GIRL DANCE..and she sounds pretty good
she sang one of the songs in DUBARRY WAS A LADY...and sings a bit..not Lucy Ricardo-esqe.... in THE LONG LONG TRAILER. Her voice had changed by WILDCAT but she's not bad. MAME was filmed only a dozen years later(but probably 10,000 cigarettes later)but I think she still has some nice musical moments in it like My Best Girl

I've always felt that the problem with the film of Mame wasn't so much her singing - just that the film falls flat in general.
