I loved all the musical numbers specially "Sisters", which was the first 45 single that I ever bought, lovely Rosemary Clooney with her beautiful bedroom eyes and most of all, Vera-Ellen.<br /><br />Fifty-five years later I still love "White Christmas" and Vera-Ellen and still get goose bumps as I watch my two favorite musical numbers of all time: "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing" and "Mandy".Trippy Trellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16286449738838619876noreply@blogger.com
