Actor (think: "Phantom of the Opera" (1943)) and singer (think: "Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life"(1935) with Jeanette MacDonald) Nelson Ackerman Eddy was born on June 29, 1901 in Providence, Rhode Island. He said, “Let's have the music that will open the door to millions of people... the kind of music that will not make people think only of the song or even of the singer... not music that is confined to the merely personal.” [How about “The hills are alive with the sound of music”, so run for your hives?]... Mr. Eddy died on March 6, 1967 in Palm Beach, Florida.
There are more great songs here.
