Beautiful voice. I’m watching her now on What’s My Line? 1958, I think.

A cross between Lawrence Tibbet and Shirley Temple? There’s a wide chasm between the celebrated opera singer/movie star and America’s favorite child actress, but if anyone could emcompass both, Pat Suzuki could. She’s fantastic.

Great video!! This is my favorite number on Broadway ‘59. I have all her albums but want to get them on CD. She described herself once as a cross between Lawrence Tibbet and Shirley Temple. Would love to see more video of her. Thanks!
