Ethel Merman - Everything's Coming Up Roses free for downloading

Best rendition EVER by Merman of this classic song. The original arrangement, and ALL the lyrics. She used a dreadful arrangement and sang a shortened version in her later concert years. Terrific band here backing her with a great drummer staying right on top of Merman’s perfect timing. Watch her right hand move to the beat of the drum.

This was the great Merman..no one will ever replace the Merm!,

The beauty of this is that we have her and so many others available for basically forever. Think if we had actual recordings of Beethoven, etc and singers through out the ages...

Watching this video makes me feel as if I'm watching Her Majesty of Show Business!

Ethel Merman...The Definitive Gift of A Miracle To The World!!!!!!!

She sounds like a Siamese Cat crossed with a Motor boat. She is GREAT!

Here after Billy Porter singing this sing at the Tony’s.

Wow, the original arrangement! What a rarity! Thanks for posting.

I want to stand up and cheer right here at my desk! This is so thrilling. Imagine hearing her in the theater. Your insides would have been all acquiver.

Gypsy was the most fun high school play ever, for me, because I got to play Electra. :-D

This is the perfect example of brilliance on every little.  How lucky Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim, and the immortal Ethel Merman had this opportunity to collaborate.  It's wonderful to see Merman doing the original arrangement.

There will never be another Ethel Merman....she was one of a kind whose like we will never see again...BRAVO!!! Miss Merman!! You were simply THE BEST & BRIGHTEST Star on Broadway!! I always wanted to be able to sing and perform like her!! What a set of pipes she had and perfect timing and perfect pitch!!! Nobody could touch her!! RIP!

The great Merman in best form here. No slick version later heard, but the actual orchestration heard in Gypsy. Even the Merms' acting seems right on the money. The lyric with "lollipops and Santa Claus" so dramatically telling. Rose sees her teenage daughter still as a child. Implications that will deepen in the final scene of the greatest musical of all time- - GYPSY.

At the end of the performance, soundman comes up and says, Miss Merman we forgot to mic you, oh well it's too late.

Mama is gonna see to it *sigh, in pure awe of the great Jule Styne*. That's it. I'm speechless. I have no more words. Miss Merman: EXCELSIOR!

Mama Rose convinced Louise, the future Gypsy Rose Lee, that she was doing everything--with a whole lotta help from Jule and Steve! It's great to have talented friends behind you.

Dreams come true...and the dream come true to this world was named ETHEL MERMAN!!!!

I can't even imagine what it was like to hear this sort of thing in the theater. I would've had a stroke. Brilliant.
