Marni Nixon sings Jerome Kern
Ms. Nixon is an American soprano, age 82 now, who, in her prime, sung with major symphony orchestras around the world. She made an album of Jerome Kern’s music, and here is “Bill” a quiet love song from “Show Boat.” The character “Julie” is woman who is half black and who is going through a difficult time when she sings this song in Act II. The lyrics to this song are by P.G. Wodehouse with revisions by Oscar Hammerstein II. PG
