It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

One of her records was probably my earliest experience with classical singing

Marni Nixon was the soloist on Felix Slatkin's "The Cello Galaxy" album on Capitol, wherein she sang Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasilieras No. 5. I was in the fifth grade and had just started in the school orchestra as a cellist. Very soon after I got that record, my parents took me (and my brother) to see Ms. Nixon live - singing show tunes with Johnny Green conducting. Great lady - RIP!
