From: Footlight Parade
Series: Footlight Parade: Sounds of the American Musical
Length: 57:44
She's the singer Cole Porter once compared to "a band going by," but her musical theater legacy goes beyond sheer vocal power as we demonstrate in a program sampling more than 40 years of recordings.

A great tribute!
I love Merman, and this was a fitting tribute to a woman who was an important part of Broadway history.
Arlen wrote the music for the 1936 film "Strike Me Pink", which gave Merman a solo torch song, a duet with Eddie Cantor and a song that accompanies a big dance production number.
