Jack Haskell: Its De-lovely
Red, Hot, and Blue...the same show that would cement Ethel Merman's position as legendary broadway-belter...also introduced one of the most recognizable of all Porter compositions: Its De-lovely. While it is this writers position that the finest version of this song was delivered by Robbie Williams in the recent film "De-lovely", I would agree that anyone blessed with a decent voice and bit of verve could deliver an agreeable version. And what of Jack Haskell? One of those forgotten celebs from the mid century: early career singing with Doris Day and The Les Brown Orchestra, a reporter on the first incarnation of NBC's Today Show, and numerous cameos on both Jack Paar and Johnny Carson shows. www.box.net/shared/5lv3pc0mj2
