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!
