I met Alice Faye and her husband Phil Harris several times when I worked at Palm Springs Airport. True class.

Pepsidoodle Helms Alice Faye is one of my idols and I simply adore her. I'm in my thirties and I am the third generation of women in my family who are huge Alice Faye fans. In fact I'm going to be naming my daughter Alice after Alice Faye.

I am 44 and I love Alice Faye's singing. My 6 year old daughter loves her now. How are Alice's daughters doing?

Alice Faye is totally enchanting. I love the rethinking of the number. What a treat! What a star!

Having retired early from the movies, i was unaware that she still performed like this on stage as she got older. Love Alice.

Oh, boy! What a coup it would have been for David Merrick to have signed Alice Faye to head up the New York cast during its original run. As we see here, she would have been a fantastic Dolly. What a great performance!

Wish they made a movie with Alice's pal - Betty Grable.

She SPARKLES here!!! I just watched my own Alice Faye film festival, nearly twenty films, in all. What a glorious singer and dancer. Her natural acting ability is highly underrated. Beautiful, talented lady with an all too short film career...

My Dad loved Alice Faye so much she was his favourite star! sending regards from the UK

One classy lady. She was wonderful. Love her version and that voice.....Thanks for sharing.😊

She is ageless.......the voice is the same as it was in 1942.....was named the girl with the velvet throat.....great!

When I saw her recently in Hello Frisco Hello I thought she was like a double for my sister. Maybe that's why when I was a kid Alice Faye was my fav. I was amazed by how many songs she sang in that movie. A real class act trooper. WOW!

Alice Faye had the best ever female crooner voice. She was incomparable.

Alice was a superb movie and radio actress. I don't believe she had that "over the top" dynamic (think Ethel M or Carol C) that creates a spectacle in the theater. Her talents served her well, and it was great to see, and especially hear, her in this role.

Beautiful silky voice.

My mom loved Alice Faye! glad to have seen this! Thank you :-)

@@Arkelk2010 I would have loved to have seen Alice do the real "Dolly". Every Dolly was different and Alice would have put her own stamp on it. And she would have looked absolutely gorgeous in those costumes!

Alice may not have Ginger Roger's "six o'clock kicks" (that means kicking the leg so high that the knee meets the nose!") which she did in the national tour which landed in Cincinnati when I was in high school, but she's got the stuff!

What show was this from? Great performance.

Merman still the best Dolly! Always liked Especially in Alexander r

Back when men and women wren't confused about gender and we didn't have "drag queen story hour."

Pre-recorded...

She's lacking a little "umpf." I think she's a little low energy.

Uhm ..... no. Yes, I like Alice Faye but, no, I would never like to see her playing Dolly Levi.

She’s”looks like she,s got no energy Tired

Wow, wasn’t she great??

She is a very dull dolly...pearl Bailey was the one what personnality
