Lovely and talented Alice Faye. Always wonderful.

[@Rollich1]

Alice Faye is one the most underrated of actresses and singers. Thanks for this clip.

[@windstorm1000]

Yes she deserves to be better known.

[@BernardProfitendieu]

*underrated? she was one of the biggest, most successful stars in Hollywood history* !!

[@Marcel_Audubon]

just coz you're late to the party doesn't mean she was underrated ... she was the biggest drawing movie star in the country for several years - just how is that underrated?

[@georgeulrich3823]

@@Marcel_Audubon She is underrated today.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

@@georgeulrich3823 she's been dead for 25 years, little lady ... exactly what rating system do you imagine is out there rating her??

Happy 100th Birthday Tyrone Power! Boy were you one handsome guy and a good actor! Happy Birthday Alice Faye. You and Ty look good in all you movies and you were one terrifc actress.Miss you both!

Today I found that this great man didn't read or write music.He used a system that help him compose without knowing to read or write music Incredible

[@carloshugogeib7961]

Beautiful voice. I have in my belongings a vinyl record of Alice Faye. I think that her most hit was You'll never Know. Good old times. Good old music, not old, for it is an evergreen song

[@4Mr.Crowley2]

This clip is awesome! Alice Faye is beautiful, the character is feisty, and that outfit is fantastic -- those shoes! The feathers! And what a great alto voice, perfect for the "brassy" character here and ragtime in general. Altos do not get enough love.

[@doughelms558]

More like contralto, wasn't she?

[@JRobbySh]

The ideal voice.

[@egparis18]

@@doughelms558 Yes. 'Alto' is a vocal part in a choir and 'contralto is a type of voice.

[@egparis18]

@@JRobbySh Yes

[@4Mr.Crowley2]

@@egparis18 here I am nearly a decade later to post “contralto” when my comment was clearly intended as praise for the actress and her voice. And yes we have classically trained vocalists in the family so the notion that it’s exceptionally important for me to label Ms. Faye as a “contralto” is ludicrous pedantry when the meaning of the was quite obvious and directed at a general audience appreciating older films. But okay…eye roll… KZbin comments fixate on “contralto” for years and years…

[@patachou636]

Wonderful! The Golden Age of Hollywood - the Best! Thank you for posting this clip! Beautiful Alice Faye ... beautiful singer ❣

I loved Alice Faye the first time I saw her in the Shirley Temple movie, "Poor Little Rich Girl." I will always remember her singing "You Gotta Eat Your Spinach, Baby."

[@annrichman6551]

My dad played this on the piano and we loved it Alice Faye. Is great

[@dianezahavi]

Always loved this! She was beautiful and talented.

[@DCFunBud]

I've always loved this clip of Alice Faye. She had that American umpf!

[@HiWayLady49]

This movie was the first time I heard this song and I loved it!

[@KateHarper23]

loving the shoes!!! her voice is really beautiful though.

[@hilarymaarten11]

Alice is at her best in this film. Her voice is tip top.

[@manuelodabashian]

Would you believe me if I said that quite a number of years ago I photographed a latin dancer at the latin and ballroom championships in Bournemouth I think who looked EXACTLY like Alice faye?

[@ravilgaleev610]

Amazing of rare beautiful voice. Thanks heart !

[@DonnieConn]

Bubba Bexley brought me here. He owns the record for singing this song 3249 times.

[@windstorm1000]

This song sung on the titanic! All loved it.

[@leemclaury6251]

Irving Berlin at his best

[@davidmehnert6206]

The (few) existing clips and films of Alice Faye are among the strongest arguments for film preservation to be made. The overwhelming body of her work was lost to silver nitrate recycling efforts which, for the benefit of a few dollars, made sure she would be all but forgotten. Personally I relate to this because... [edited]

[@Movieman1776]

David Mehnert how are Alice Faye's movies lost? In recent years 20th Century Fox has released over 20 of her full-length films on DVD.

[@BernardProfitendieu]

what the hell are you talking about? her movies are all available on CD

[@hcombs0104]

As far as I know, her work is still out there. Her studio just does a lousy job putting it out there.

I wonder why

[@glawsny]

I think Joe's jealous of Alice's shoes.

[@mercantilist0]

I read the Berlin stole much of this song from Scott Joplin who present non copy righted material to Berlin's publishing business. Is the theft clear and pervasive?
