What the hell, this guy's voice is enough in itself. Thank you for up loading this. My parents saw him in Oklahoma in the 1950's, dead jealous

We saw him at the Royal Albert Hall in the eighties, he did around two hours in a one man show, no effects or anything modern "singers" rely on. He was just BRILLIANT!

Fun Fact: this is Queen Elizabeth II's favourite song ❤

Howard Keel was far better than the singer in the latest edition of Oklahoma just don’t now this latest show could have won an Olivia award!

It might have a label that says - Howard Keel singing Oh What a Beautiful Morning but as soon as the song begins it is obvious it is not Howard Keel singing. Why does this happen? 'Imposters', 'chancers', or other suitable terms is the only explanation. There was only one Howard Keel. Similar there was one Bing Crosby.
The ones who try to impersonate the real 'number one's' are I suppose OK but could never, I suggest take the unique place of the originals and never will.

"Slightly out"? A matter of opinion.
