Julie Andrews' singing voice is adored by people of all ages around the world. I play The Sound of Music movie soundtrack to kindergarteners in a non-English speaking country and they immediately respond to it and love it.

I will never forget when Lady Gaga sang The Sound of Music at the academy awards a few years ago, I’ve always loved her voice, but she simply slayed that song, and when Julie Andrews walked out, i knew she was truly a star .
