I hope that classical movie musical lovers connect with Jane Powell and, those of us in the "older" brackets, reconnect ourselves with this gifted, talented and lovely star.

Jane Powell was one of the most popular entertainers not only during her years before the camera but, also, before live audiences. (I especially remember "An Evening With Lerner and Lowe" at the Hollywood Bowl during the 1959 and 1960 seasons in which Johnny Green specifically arranged, and conducted, four of their great shows for Ms. Powell...he loved her voice.)

It wasn't hard, during the MGM years, for the studio to have a beautiful, soprano-voiced star to which the public loved and responded in a great way.
