Gordon MacRae had an unusual singing voice. It was melodically beautiful and powerful. He was one of the best ever.

Oh man, when in Oklahoma the iconic Macrae comes on with his gorgeous, masculine baritone! But Carousel is genius beyond genius.

Gordon MacRae is one of the best singers Hollywood ever produced. He had a rich, melodic voice and was incredibly handsome. Gone too soon at 64. Thanks for the video tribute to .

Gordon MacRae Beautiful voice and Wow ----------- Those gorgeous Scottish looks . 💙

First play at age 8 Oklahoma love it still! They don’t make movies like this! ♥️♥️♥️

This was when the World recognised Real Talent, evergreen, thank you for posting 💐

He had a beautiful voice . The soliloquy from carousel is incredibly beautiful

Just returned for another dose of this man's superb voice and singing.

His singing What A beautiful morning in the opening scene of Oklahoma was stunningly beautiful and left a lasting unforgettable impression of what great music and songs were in those days by Oscar & Hammerstein..

Thankyou for the beautiful singing of Gordon Mcrae, loved him in my younger days

What a wonderful God given talent! Sadly missed.

Gordon's rendition of this classic hymn is magnificent!

What a voice

I never thought I could find a Gordon MacRae's biography, and special thanks to Jeffrey for giving us this souvenir... Beautiful morning with such a music and interpreter...

He was one of the greatest singers of all times. I saw many of his starring musicals!

Love the photos from West Point Story, I am a great Cagney fan and it was another example of James Cagney's unbelievable dancing, as was demonstrated in his Oscar winning role in Yankee Doodle Dandy. Of course I have to give a nod to Gordon MacCrae in West Point Story but MacCrae was more noted for his magnum opus Oklahoma. He was great in Carousel but died off too soon in the movie.

One of the very best, gone too soon.

​​@@pennymassengill9882You must have not seen "Carousel". In fact almost all the Oscar & Hammerstein musicals dealt with controversial subjects for their time.

Succumbed to throat cancer at 64 so sad

The timeless lyrics to "I Believe" still hold integrity to this very day, and must again become the rallying cry of America out of the crisis that has beset us. We must affirm our faith in Someone far far greater than all of us, Whose hands still hold the unborn tomorrow, and the remainder of what we call the present time. It is time to hold fast our loyalty to Him, and the principles He gave us to live by toward Him. Nothing less will do.

I believe that when I was in the street life, I would think we all was not trying to stay in for life, but just enough to put us on better ground, from being deprived of the right to a better life. Where the better ground we dreamed about was more corrupted than the street life, we believe was so right. To find out that just a fragment of our imagination, looking for something that never was true in the real life. That the real life have more phonies than the street life, and they play their part better than the street life. So where can a person go to find the land of the free because I know it's not in the land of equal opportunity.

Macrae was my favorite.

Taylor Swift doesn’t have an ounce of talent but her marketing people are the best She reminds me of Fabian back in the late 50s and extremely handsome kid and the bet was they could make him famous and he did not have an ounce of talent. Terrible voice. He became a big star, there is your answer
