ok, ok,...this was sung in 1936, 10 years before I was born, BUT

this is more than a song. America was struggling hard in the depths of the Great Depression.

Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy gave courage to a nation with their clear resounding voices. America was still STRONG.

It's a Native American version of Romeo & Juliet; two tribes hate one another, but one from each opposing tribe falls in love with the other, and suffers fatal consequences. Their spirits call to one another in the wilderness.

Where are voices like this now? Orchestra back-up? What do these images represent? What does this say about kids growing up in 1936 seeing and hearing this--and then went off to war in 1941?

Mac and Eddy

That's easy...
