Eileen Farrell--Climb Every Mountain, I Can't Help It, Mountain Dew, 1964 TV

[@pamelaray6032]

Callas loved her! She had no ego. She just loved to sing. She was a beautiful totally undiva like person as well as having the most exquisite soprano voice ever. She always put her family first.

[@BillyBoy442]

Callas thanked Eileen for having been so kind and decent to her.

[@exsultet1274]

Listen to that diction! She's amazing.

[@jamesewanchook2276]

She really feels it ... when it modulates.... this is eternal!!

[@michaelmiller1215]

One of the greatest Dramatic Sopranos ever!

[@thangvuong9196]

Dramatic Soprano? Thought she was a Mezzo-soprano?

[@jimbuxton2187]

@@thangvuong9196 ... no...dramatic soprano!

[@jefgong]

Thinking so much to Miss Farrell on the 100th day of her birth !

[@SymphonyBrahms]

She was a great dramatic soprano and sang Verdi and Wagner at the Met.

[@PaulGood-wt7mb]

She was a character...so talented...the music flowed effortlessly from her. A great lady!

[@Janine11155]

The most undiva-like diva who ever lived, and she could sing rings around anybody at the Met when it had the greatest of talent available to it! Married to a New York City cop.

[@birdlover7776]

That is so cool!

[@jimbuxton2187]

I loved this so much! Thanks for posting .....

[@MrStpendouslvforjo]

I really liked that! The greatest singers all seemed to have that big (but pleasant) face! Eileen Farrell, Joan Sutherland, and Birgit Nilsson - all were EXCELLENT! This was really a very cute video!

[@user-ic5xu4jh6z]

Great interpretation, i love it! Now i remember the good old times when i was sang that song from Sound of Musik...Thanks for uploading!

🎹 Alan, where do you ever find these fabulous vintage clips of truly great talents like Eileen Farrell? She could sing everything from Hank Williams to Isolde. We are all very grateful to you. 🎹

Una inmensa soprano

[@steveroberts8719]

I just love her cover of the classic Hank Williams' tune. What an amazing and versatile talent she was. May she RIP.

[@bh5606]

Not a Hank Williams song.

[@brucekuehn4031]

@@bh5606 "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)" is a song written and originally recorded by Hank Williams on MGM Records.

[@michaelmiller1215]

Wonderful! I have never seen this now. I love how she had both a fantastic career at the Met, and also had an equally successful ‘pop’ career at the same time. And was that Jimmy Dean?

[@Janine11155]

yes, Jimmy Dean. She is such a fantastic jazz singer too

Michael Miller: The Sausage King?

[@brucekuehn4031]

Yes, he still pushes his sausage from The Beyond

[@bh5606]

Knew someone who studied under her. She said she was not a nice person.

Really

Probably was a man

[@johnpickford4222]

Ben Johnso: Did it ever occur to you that the student was unprepared, not talented, did not follow Farrell’s instruction and advice. Never was temperament associated with the name of Eileen Farrell.

[@ER1CwC]

She can sing country too. What couldn’t she do?

[@hankaustin7091]

LOVE Eileen Farrell.. it's too bad, though, that she looks so frumpy here.. not a good look for her, but, maybe that's just how it was in 1964....

Appearance is overrated.

[@mmjhcb]

@tin pan alley 1619 Broadway She's no Susan Boyle. She is a real singer with a gorgeous voice. An opera star, and certainly more than capable of singing this beautiful song.

[@direfranchement]

Probably not the most figure flattering attire for her.
