Thanks for all of that, Tony! If it is indeed Paul Valentine, I think he is super in a duet with Jacqueline McKeever in "We're Not Children" on the OCR of "Oh, Captain!" That's a very fun score with some super orchestrations. His vocal is very sexy, and looking at his bio, he was a ballet dancer, had a relationship with Sally Rand (of bubble dance fame) and was married to Lili St. Cyr, the famous strip tease artist immortalized at the end of "Zip" in "Pal Joey" by Rodgers and Hart! Not sure about Sidney Armus.

I think "Gone With the Wind" may have had a revival in London in more recent years.

I checked out some pictures of Paul Valentine. He was a really good-looking guy back in the late 40's and early 50's. He played Joe Stefanos in the great film noir, Out of the Past. He was gangster Kirk Douglas' enforcer or capo (I guess you could call him), similar to the character of Al Neri in The Godfather. I believe he is the guy on the Wish You Were Here cover. He sings "Summer Afternoon" and "Relax" in the Rome musical.

Thanks for the mention of Oh Captain!. I'm going to dig out the CD and listen to it tomorrow. It has a very enjoyable score with a great cast.
