Harve Presnell passed away. He was a booming baritone back in the 1960s-1970s ("Paint Your Wagon," for example, and a [presumably terrible] musical version of "Gone w/the Wind," where he played Rhett).
Harve was also in the stage AND FILM versions of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."
...
And for me -- hate to rain on your parade, Jackie -- he's the ONLY thing good about the movie version of "Paint Your Wagon." Somehow, Lee Marvin croaking like a bullfrog, or Clint, whisper-singing his way through the score, just don't cut it........

Oh, I don't love Clint's singing, just the song! I like the silliness of the movie in general. When I was in drum corps, we used some of the music for part of our routine one year. It was great!
True nuff. "They Call the Wind Maria" is a gorgeous song. I also like "Where Ya' Going/I'm On My Way."
I think Joshua Logan (Director) was stoned on anti-depressants during the filming of that entire movie mess. Logan ruined "South Pacific" in the stage-to-screen transfer, too.

The Bway musical was written in 1951, so I'm guessing the song pre-dates TKT.
