MacRae was cast in musicals as well as movie operettas. Bing Crosby also sang mostly in his deep range. I think it hurt his long range appeal. Sinatra on the other hand could go from deep to high. It gave him an advantage over Crosby with dramatic songs.

Ah! He was wonderful! Truly. And aesthetically speaking one might prefer Jolson or Crosby as I see in the replies here, but aesthetics have little to do with terms like “best.” When talking about the “best” one could judge it by success measured many different ways, or in a more vocally objective manner by judging vocal skills (like octave range, dynamic range, richness, versatility, etc). Anyway you slice it, and as much as I love Gordon, I can think of two movie baritones who were “better.” Robert Goulet and Howard Keel. Not only did each have much bigger careers in movies/shows, but also did so on the concert platforms and record sales. On top of that, they each had better ranges and skills due to better techniques. This doesn’t take anything away from Gordon’s greatness, except in that being called “by far the best” would be not only inaccurate but also hyperbole.

Gordon ,sure was a cutie, and a man of great talent 💛💜

Great singer and actor. My favourite.

I've just bought this movie on DVD because it's the only way I could get these songs sung by Gordon MacRae. He recorded hundreds of songs on radio and film which never got to be on records. Even his films with Doris Day are unavailable on records due to contract difficulties. He recorded for Capitol and Doris Day Columbia and that blocked them appearing together on disc. These companies should hang their heads in shame.

Bing Crosby is probably the oldest singer and one of the oldest actors that's still popular today, since he started singing with The Rhythm Boys (Paul Whiteman's vocal refrain group) in the late 1920's and first starred in The King of Jazz from 1930 (which is about Paul Whiteman's orchestra. The name tells you how popular he was. Unfortunately, the king of Jazz isn't as popular as the king of rock or the king of pop). The only 1930's movie most people know of is The Wizard of Oz, but most of them don't even know it is a 1930's movie. The only known actor of The Wizard of Oz is Judy Garland, who played Dorothy, but i'm pretty sure she was more popular in the 1940's. The others are just unknown actors today. I have seen a video clip from a 1930 movie called "Follow Thru'", which featured the actor who played the Tin-Man from The Wizard of Oz singing "Button Up Your Overcoat" along with a female actor. Most actors and singers from the early-to-mid 20th century are unknown to most people. The 1910's had singers like Billy Murray and Al Jolson, who were really popular back then but are now mostly forgotten. Al Jolson is now remembered as the main actor from The Jazz Singer, which was the first talking picture. Talking pictures in the 1920's had actors like Lawrence Gray and Charles King, which are both forgotten today. Then there are actors which are so obscure, they don't even have a picture or enough information about them, like James Clemens, who played a singing showman in the title song of a lost movie from 1929 called "Red Hot Rhythm", and it's the only scene from the movie that still exists. I would trade the fame of all modern mainstream actors of today for the fame of all the old actors. The same goes for singers.

On the other hand, maybe they would!

How come the composer of the music, Harry Warren, is not mentioned? Other great composers of American song always get credited for their work, on theater billings, etc, and youtube performances, but Harry Warren, composer of over 800 songs and some of the biggest hits in history, is just totally neglected. What is going on with that? Maybe some kind of prejudice against Italians? (his real name is Salvatore Antonio Guaragna). Composer of At Last, You'll Never Know, Serenade in Blue, That's Amore, September in the Rain, Chattanooga Choo Choo, An Affair to Remember, 42nd Street, We're in the Money, etc., and you never heard of him, his name never shows up. Strange.
