Thanks for showing me, KZbin algorithm! She was phenomenal!

[@MegaCaprice123]

Ethel doesn’t even look at the keys. Wow, what a fantastic musician. I also have just discovered Ethel and keep watching and listening in awe; she was amazing.

I just discovered Ethel Smith!! My new Hero!!

My favorite by Ethel Smith. Listened to this on Decca 78 MANY times MANY years ago. She was very attractive and not withdrawn. In an interview she mentioned the many times she traveled in many countries for concerts and when contemplating a title for her autobiography she came up with "Abroad With An Organ".

IHola, I'm from Venezuela and my name is Henry and I have a record of those who were 78 rpm EthelSmith (Jingle Bells) and (White Christmas), is a little scratched, the day may cost today

[@MarkinDC]

THANKS for posting - never seen this video before - nice quality too.

[@LoveTOFU2]

Wow. This gal can really tickle the ivories, even with all those schmucks shaking tambourines and bongos and guiros in her face!

[@SuperWoodyboy]

LOL

[@MYGREYGARDENS]

I would like to know what happened that she ended up in a black & white B movie, just 2 years after the huge star studed color musical Easy to Wed, with Van Johnson & Esther Williams. Looks like they put her in this one just to fulfill her contract, which would have only been 3 with MGM, the first being Bathing Beauty, where she introduced Tico Tico

[@michaelhayes690]

Nice! What a great audience! Thanks.

[@rosekween1]

Twice Blessed is the same plot as "Parent Trap" starring Hayley Mills (then much later starring Lindsey Lohan). Just Love Ethel!!

my new idol !!!!!

[@rrsgf]

este órgão e muito gostoso de tocar o dificil de registrar ;)

[@paulj0557tonehead]

@ElaineBarrDesigns Great! Now even if you explore other organ models, and playing ( I've uploaded a huge variety of excellent electronic organ music on my channel BTW, click 'playlists') you will probably discover when you've come full circle that Ethel had the greatest musicality, skill AND that most awesome Hammond Leslie tone. The Leslie rotary speaker cabinet is a huge part of the sound of any electronic, or electromechanical ( like Hammond tone wheel & Wurlitzer ES) organ- natural vibrato.

I knew Don Leslie, thanks for your comment.

[@ayokay123]

Dare I say she was pretty hot looking? ;)

No mostraste como apretaste los pedales en taco alto.

[@MaravilhaNaErvilha1]

Música composta pela brasileira Lina Pesce. Ethel só interpretou.

[@KORNMUSIKde]

From which year ist this? Thanks for uploading.

[@tedcloak]

I think 1948. As an usher at the Rio Theatre in Appleton, Wis., I saw the first run of "Twice Blessed" about 10 times.
