A singer chosen for her talent, not her looks.
No lip-synching.
No yodeling.
No self promoting embellishments.

Just the song, the best she could do.

I've heard Kate Smith sing that many times and I always get gnats in my eyes.  I like the unabashed patriotism also in the clip.  All of this is politically incorrect today.

I'm sure that we will all hear the reasons why this song and post is not applicable today and I could answer that with a simple two words but I won't.  Carl would pull my post if I did.

Great Post!

One of the more interesting parts of that link are the comments to it.......especially the replys to "Sandra"........especially the one from "Old_Curmudgeon".

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
