You'll Never Get Away From Me - Gypsy - Rosalind Russell 's own voice
Фильм және анимация
Here is the complete version of this very difficult number (one of the rangiest Broadway songs ever) with Roz doing her own singing. Took a lot of balls to even attempt it!
From her autobiography, "Life Is A Banquet": At first I was only to act the part; Rose's singing was dubbed by a professional with a big trained voice. When I heard it, I got sick. "It isn't me," I said. "I'm bad, but I can't stand to hear that. Everybody knows I don't sing operatically, it throws the balance off." Warner Brothers agreed and rescored the picture, and I sang my own part. People still say that I didn't, but that's Roz, and nobody else, as Rose on the soundtrack of Gypsy.

Roz, we love you, but if that's you in the film, then who's that singing in these clips? Ethel?

Despite the rough vocals, this was such a sweet scene and this is one of the few times they showed why Herbie would have stayed with Rose despite the headaches. There was something sincere and palatable here despite Rose essentially "playing" him.
One of my favorite songs from Broadway. If not favorite. I love Merman and Klugman, but this version is sadder.
For those of you who don't know the actor who played Herbie, Karl Malden was the reverend in Pollyanna
Love her! Always have; always will!
Wow! That was so good, and to see and hear the late, great Karl Malden singing! What a treat! Thank you 👏 xx
I love her dancing
If the film were being made today, Ros's voice would be considered just perfect, thank you.

Roz’ voice was used for 1 1/2 songs, but in this song she is truly awful. They could never have used this.

@@radic888 But she’s completely off pitch! Really horribly wrong notes.
Love those LOW notes she hits. Could it be possible Warners showed Roz a rough cut of the film with her singing and thus her noting it in her autobiography? She was one genuine dame and I find it hard to believe she'd tell an out-and-out lie.

Yes!! That's why the number had to be cut down to one verse. I wondered for years why it happened to such a beautiful song. Finally found out.
I believe you can still hear a little remainder of the original vocsl dubber in Together Wherever We Go singing "There really isn't anything to it, ya do it!" And on time of the long notes. It doesn't sound like Roz and it does sound operatic.

Nope - that's all Roz. This was cut before Lisa Kirk was hired to dub her.
YIKES!
I believe I've read that Roz introduced the Rodgers & Hart song, Mountain Greenery, in The Garrick Gaieties in the late 20s.

"Mountain Greenery" is a popular song composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Lorenz Hart for the musical "The Garrick Gaieties" (1926). It was first performed on stage by Sterling Holloway. Roz appeared in a revival in 1930, but it only lasted 12 performances.

Who’s idea was it to let her sing her own songs in this movie? Did someone lose Marni Nixon’s phone number?

After “West Side Story”, Natalie had her contract written to state that either her voice would be used or the song would be cut.
Listen to Merman song it.
