    Lt Herowitz is really a great singer despite the shell shock.

    Thank God Ethel never got into cigarettes like most women of her era. Her voice maintained its power and range up till the end.

    She was quoted as saying " I just holler & hope my voice holds out!" " AMEN to that.

    Hard to believe that in this show from the early 1980's Merman was already a veteran of 70 something years and yet she still had her powerful belting mezzo-soprano voice!

    Airplane ruined any performance of hers ... in a good way. LOL

    As a very gay child I was completely obsessed with this song because of the movie Airplane! I would mimic her voice and sing it very dramatically around the house to my long suffering family.

    Don't say Ethel was Jewish, her ghost will sue you.

    Opening song for my Dad's funeral ! Shocked my Mother but my Dad loved Broadway and could sing. All show tunes and well....she told me I was the musician in the family and should arrange things. Made everyone happy because that was the essence of my Dad. RIP. William Brown

    A true legend. This is how a voice survives decades of entertaining. Keep those pipes in shape!

    Oh, God . . . Her voice was perfectly preserved. I mean, I'm shocked. She never lost it. And did you see that standing ovation at the beginning? If nothing else, that made my holidays.

    I love how her voice still has all that power, even so many years later.

    Don't know what took the whole crowd so long to stand up, they should have jumped up!! She always gave it everything she had. Sounded the same from her young age to her old age. What a voice!

    I come back to this video so much. She had such a commanding presence and voice. She didn’t need any props or backup dancers. It was just her and the music. ❤❤❤

    Ethel Merman was a miracle. And she could still do it. We'll never see anyone like her again.

    Singing like that can only be the incomparable Ethel Merman. I heard two songs of hers this week while out of town on satellite radio, and I was thrilled. I always loved her!
