  • Sam Burkes from Philadelphia, Ms.I came home for lunch one afternoon fr. 4th Grade in Hempstead, N.Y., must've been 1957. Our family radio, A Bakelite Regal, was playing. Suddenly, this beautifully written piece of exquisite music comes as an intro, and the most beautiful, songbird-like voice of a young, darling Julie Andrews starts singing...I was a smitten 8-yr-old..I never, ever let this song leave my steel-trapped, positive-pitch musical mind. I can actually play, by ear-memory, the chords to this song on guitar, either in E major or D major...have those orchestrated changes engrained, etched permantly in my memory. I've always loved Julie Andrews. This play was a huge smash in the N.Y. Area then.
    Thank You

  • Carolyn from Knoville, TnDidn't Andy Williams croon "Moon River" that was supposedly "sung" by Audrey Hepburn in another film? Marni Nixon did a good job on this song, but I will always think of Julie Andrews when I hear it.
