| There were a couple of times on "The Lucy Show", her next series after "I Love Lucy", where she sometimes sang; I remember there was one, I think the one where Wayne Newton sings to a cow(!), where they do a number called "Main Street U.S.A". She sings pretty straight, not Lucy Ricardo-ish, and it was reasonably acceptable, still sounding like Lucy. She didn't have Ricky (Desi) on that show trying to keep her out of show biz, so she didn't always have to exaggerate how bad her singing was on her 2nd series. | |

| On I Love Lucy, she also sang in the Scottish-set dragon musical nightmare she dreamed after having seen Brigadoon or something like it in London with Ricky, and as "Sally Sweet" with Ricky as "Cuban Pete" at the Tropicana. She sang intentionally badly as gypsy lady in the operetta that she and Ethel wrote for the women's club. She also sang "Under the Bamboo Tree" with Ricky. And there's the "Sweet Adeline" episode (linking part of it) where she sang particularly badly. And "Auf Wiedersehen" (sort of). And probably some others not coming to mind. And doesn't she sing in the Merman episode of The Lucy Show? Doesn't she demonstrate to Merman how to sing like Merman? I don't remember how much she actually sings there. |

| If I recall correctly, in the Merman episode, she demonstrates with the recording of Merman, and then the live Merman starts singing along. But I don't remember Lucy singing in that bit. | |

| There were at least 2 other episodes on I Love Lucy and The Lucy-Desi Comedy Specials when Lucy sang acceptably, once with Bob Hope when they sang "Nobody Loves the Ump" and also with Red Skelton when they sang "A Couple of Swells". | |

| ***There were at least 2 other episodes on I Love Lucy and The Lucy-Desi Comedy Specials when Lucy sang acceptably, once with Bob Hope when they sang "Nobody Loves the Ump" and also with Red Skelton when they sang "A Couple of Swells".*** I too remember a few times when Lucy sang well enough on her TV show, but I do also remember pretty clearly that she was sometimes obviously dubbed. Wish I had better recall on that, but one example of her being obviously dubbed that I seem to remember was a duet with someone, maybe Carol Burnett? |
