Thank You TONY!

"Gold Diggers of 1933" has become one of my very favorite movies. Joan Blondell did sing the beginning of "Remember My Forgotten Man," but the lady who took over was the great Etta Moten, who passed away in 2004 at the age of 102. Here is her IMDB page: http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0609323/

It's interesting how that movie changes gears. Up to the beginning of that musical number, it's lighthearted and fun, but it gets serious all of a sudden. The United States government didn't do right by our veterans of The Great War.

I wouldn't presume to speak for them, but I suspect that our Vietnam veterans can relate.

And welcome back!

I have always wondered who she was! My husband and I do a lovely duet/medley of Remember My Forgotten Man along with Brother Can You Spare a Dime - maybe we'll get to play it for the Loungers someday... it's a great song and that is definitely one of my favorite films!
