Ethel Merman "World Take Me Back" Live "Hello, Dolly" Jerry Herman Remaster

This is Ethel Merman singing "World Take Me Back" live, cleaned and edited from two performances for best sound when she played it on Broadway. "World" was one of two songs that Jerry Herman wrote for her and cut when she refused the part originally. Putting them back in was part of the deal of her taking over the show, the only time she did that in her career. She did record both, but in mono with nothing but piano accompaniment and hearing the full orchestra is really something. There is likely never going to be any issue of her performance, which apparently only exists in audience recordings and maybe one stage recording that was badly marred by the ramp used (off mike as it were). Pity. With the several versions that were recorded, I'm sure there's some story there why Merman's wasn't, probably a money dispute. She certainly sang it better than any of the other Broadway Dollys.
