ETHEL MERMAN - THEY SAY IT'S WONDERFUL, THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS (ANNIE GET YOUR GUN)

Ethel Merman was known for her powerful, belting mezzo-soprano voice, precise enunciation and pitch. Because stage singers performed without microphones when Merman began singing professionally, she had a great advantage, despite the fact that she never took any singing lessons. As well, Cole Porter had her star in five of his musicals because of her strong voice and impeccable diction. There is also a story that George Gershwin advised her never to take a singing lesson after she opened in his Girl Crazy. This is Ms Merman belting her signature songs They Say It's Wonderful and There's No Business Like Show Business from "Annie Get Your Gun" written by Irving Berlin. Enjoy!
