Showtune Tuesday

An all-time favorite, Some Enchanted Evening. Ezio Pinza was a basso opera singer from Italy. After his career in opera at The Met, he went into film. Pinza created the part of Emile de Becque in the original Broadway production of "South Pacific". His performance of "Some Enchanted Evening" on the original Broadway cast album as a big hit, and introduced him to a mass audience. He went on to play the role in the movie version.
