Gordon MacRae’s big voice was perfect for Hollywood musicals... He teamed with Doris Day in On Moonlight Bay and also By the Light of the Silvery Moon, then landed the roles he’s probably best remembered for: Curly in Oklahoma! and Billy Bigelow in Carousel. #GordonMacRae #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

A one-hit wonder? Well, sort of… Gordon MacRae was already a major entertainment figure long before the #Billboard #Hot100 era. The dude worked in radio, records, Broadway/film, and was one of the most recognizable traditional-pop singers of the late 1940s & ’50s. #GordonMacRae #OneHitWondered
