Ethel Merman Disco Album

Lat night I watched Ethel Merman's first screen appearance, a little musical short subject titled Her Future. She was loud and brassy and weird even in 1930. But 49 years later, with her venture into disco, she was beyond weird.

The actual Tonight Show singing occurs in part 2.

Ethel (That's what high octane gas used to be called) always got my channel-flipper-finger twitching.
