Richard Rodgers, Juanita Hall, Martha Wright, John Raitt & Celeste Holm "You'll Never Walk Alone"

Televised interracial choir in 1952. Fascinating to watch.

[@Arkelk2010]

Race harmony was very important to Rodgers and Hammerstein throughout their careers.

Fantastic…the best version I’ve ever heard…it surpassed the “Kleenex” test…tears come when something is that moving and beautiful.

[@lonestarfriend]

Again from "Carousel"; composer at the podium. 🙂

Goosebumps!! This Rodgers and Hammerstein song gained a second life when Gerry and The Peacemakers' version made it a huge hit in Britain, and Liverpool Football Club supporters adopted it as their song. I'm not a Liverpool fan but I have to admit that there is no more exciting anthem in a stadium when it resonates in every corner of it...

That’s was beautiful😀👍🏿

From the last Ed Sullivan Show or Toast of the Town before I was born.

Awesome!

[@lizzieallen2284]

Oh boy as soon as Juanita Hall started singing I burst into tears. This is such an emotionally charged version of a great great song enhanced by a racially mixed choir. Thank you for posting.

Classic.. so wonderful.

[@Arkelk2010]

I would have loved to be in that chorus. (We'll ignore the age and my trouble with staying on key issues.) Excellent voices and a good arrangement under the baton of the composer--wow!

I'm reading Richard Rodger's daughter Mary's memoir Shy. She couldn't stand this song and hated Climb Every Mountain even more. I love Rodgers and Hammerstein,but I agree with Mary Rodgers.

[@incog99skd11]

Why did Celeste Holm stop singing at the end? Seemed odd.

[@christophersansone2755]

I don't know but she sure looked good.

[@emsparamedic5183]

I noticed she stopped singing at the end as well as one other point. I've never heard Celeste sing in my 65 years. Wow, what a wonderful surprise.

The KZbin headline says “1968” - obviously not correct.

[@Juliaflo]

All of Rodgers and Hammerstein's muses.

[@patriciaf.2574]

Not best version but nice...disliked song since some moron decided it was ok to request and played at my wedding reception while husband & self were already dancing to a much more up to date tune...was rather awkward and embarrassing...we cut it short!!

[@steven3379]

And i thought this was Jerry Lewis's song.!

[@miltonmoore8369]

IT WAS. IF YOU MEAN HE SUNG IT AT THE CONCLUSION OF HIS TV FUND-RAISING SHOWS FOR CURING AND TREATING MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY.🌠🌹🌠
