These were composed into songs and hit the top in the 1950s.<br /><br />Stephen Han <br />I love the three lovely songs sung by Danny Kaye namely “The Ugly Ducking Thumbelina and the beautiful “Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen”I can still remember the tunes and a little of the words<br /><br />Andy Young <br />You're a professional with nostalgia Stephen. Thanks so much for your contribution to make the blog a richer place. I doubt many people know this musical and the songs. :-)<br /><br />Andy Young Thanks, Rose and Jim. I'm sure you can connect with Danny Kaye and Hans Anderson.<br /><br />Freda Hanum <br />Y<br />es I did watch Danny Kaye shows that showed on TVs in the early 60s, real good entertainer, singer and dancer same goes with Gene Kelly, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra and many others in all their musical story movies. loved that movie "Singing In The Rain" the singing and dance scene really beautiful, I was thinking that was Danny Kaye with Gene Kelly guess I'm wrong. Your grandson Joshie is so cute and surely must be talented like you too Andy. 👍😊<br /><br />Andy Young <br />Thanks, Freda for your comment. And Stephen too. Yes I guess unless readers are familiar these shows are only popular with people keen in music those years and later as the films are distributed on TV.ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-69221587520780270692009-07-11T08:01:15.498+08:002009-07-11T08:01:15.498+08:00Danny Kaye was a reason for long queues at the mov...Danny Kaye was a reason for long queues at the movie houses in Singapore in the 50s because there were not many attractions and places to go to for an afternoon or evening outing. <br /><br />Imported Hollywood song and dance acts were so popular and were lessons in vaudeville for local shows at the Great World, Happy World and New World amusement parks by our own singers and dancers.<br /><br />These shows are part of the influence the West has on Singapore music before the 60s<br />AndyANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-7959787511224276222009-07-11T00:18:34.071+08:002009-07-11T00:18:34.071+08:00An interesting account to be sure.
