Surprising Duos

 

This is a quirky but fun idea I wanted to make as a post. 

You may have known these familiar famous faces, I know I certainly have, in fact, all of these people you see here are people I find legendary in pop culture. These are unique and rare photos I caught on the internet. 

First is Mel Blanc meeting with Clarence Nash. As you might already know Blanc is known for voicing Porky Pig and Nash most famously voices Donald Duck. So what did you expect? It actually happened. 

This is a great picture. 

Who'll win?

Disney or Looney Tunes?

I'm an extremely huge fan of Bing Crosby. I had a huge influence on him for about 2 1/2 years. He has teamed with incredible people. This is him meeting with Glenn Miller. Both are music legends. I was astounded when I first discovered this photo. 

With other people he has met, he definitely has met Sinatra, I loved his radio shows with Judy Garland, and Ella Fitzgerald. 

I also love this picture of Bing and Nat King Cole. 

He also teamed with Walt Disney, the studio was working on The Adventures Of Ichabod And Mr. Toad, in which he is the narrator in the Sleepy Hollow segment. He truly made that movie a masterpiece.

Recently, I watched some clips of Bing and Fred Astaire and they are truly wholesome and sweet. These were mostly made in promotion to their own album together. This was back in 1975. Have a watch. 

Here's two more you'll be destined to be impressed by.

Lastly, is Nat King Cole and Betty Hutton, the most underappreciated collaboration ever witnessed. 

I'm a big fan of both Nat and Betty, but this was surprising to me because I never expected these two to get together, they even perform so well. Let me just say it was a blast. I know the title of this video says Part 2, but it's way longer and Part 1 only had Betty sing herself in that video. 

Your going to love this one. They do their own version of Anything You Can Do, which is a creatively magnificent song and as always Hutton is just as goofy and entertaining as she was born to be. 

Enjoy! 👍 

There is a slight possibility a Part 2 might come out. But I have no idea yet.

Betty Hutton - A New Favorite

 

For now this will be an ongoing series of posts. 

The first time I ever truly knew about this actress was just yesterday. I was exploring around various 40s music, until I stumbled across her song, Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief. The version I watched was her appearance in movie The Stork Club (1945). 

I was absolutely amused by her performance and I needed to know more about her immediately. Later as I realized, I really associate her eccentric personality, usually when a person sings, they just go along with it in a normal perspective, when she sings she does these zany movements it makes it even more entertaining. 

I'll prove it to you.

When I first watched this, I was laughing, she was so full of spirit it's hard to dislike it because she's having fun with her performance and y'know that makes me extremely contented. 

Observe as she sings "I'm Just A Square In A Social Circle" Great song!

Normally, I love old songs, the people sound gentle, and the rhythm, melody is all whimsical and calm, sometimes the song can go over-the-top ridiculous in many great ways like with my favorites from Glenn Miller, and Tony Pastor. My favorite music decades are the 30s and 40s and almost every song sounds comforting to listen to. 

But in that vain of normal goodness, it's always rare to see a music number be so astonishing and impressive to me, I have a playlist on YouTube with all my favorite songs and there's only a course of 30 I put in so far I could listen on repeat. That's saying alot from a person who listens to over a million songs. 

However with Betty Hutton's performances, all I seen so far, she's perfect in all of them. I'm not kidding. How did I not grow up with this actress? 

This is another great one!

She was one of the most comedic, most overlooked entertainers in the 20th century if you ask me.

Betty Hutton will always be remembered and not to be forgotten, it's no wonder as to why I never experienced her until now. She's absolutely marvelous. I would recommend to check out her stuff.
