Eileen Farrell (February 13, 1920 – March 23, 2002[1]) was an American soprano who had a nearly 60 year long career performing both classical and popular music in concerts, theatres, on radio and television, and on disc. While she was active as an opera singer, her concert engagements far outnumbered her theatrical appearances. Her career was mainly based in the United States, although she did perform internationally. The Daily Telegraph stated that she "was one of the finest American sopranos of the 20th century; she had a voice of magnificent proportions which she used with both acumen and artistry in a wide variety of roles

I remember watching that Funny Valentine guy when that TV show was being aired. Didn't remember he could sing.
hbg, Welcome back, and as you know, I love classical music. Listened to all of them, but my favorite was by Eileen and Leonard doing Come Rain or Come Shine. Thanks again for the personal acknowledgement, herr hbg.
edgar, your Why by Frankie was a good one. and thanks for your comment.
Hey, pushman. I didn't know that one that you played, but it was a good one.
Here are two songs: One to match edgar's Avalon. Another Nat.
Captain Lockheed And The Starfighters was a rock opera about post war Germany's disastrous use of the Starfighter plane for all purposes, including ones it wasn't designed for. There were a lot of casualties, and it was peacetime.
It's rock songs interspersed with comic sketches. This is one my favourite sketches.
