Mr. Richards' Woody Mahoney on the OCR of "Finian's Rainbow" is beautifully sung, but he unfortunately Richards died quite young in a automobile accident in 1953. Here's video of him on tv. He's not singing from that show here, but good to get some idea of who these folks we listened to were like as performers any way we can. Yes, that's a young, thin Jackie Gleason as the host.
I'll try to add some other videos of performers we mostly know from OCRs, and you can do the same if you'd like. |
