Song of the Day: Carousel (“If I Loved You”), music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, is another memorable song from this 1945 Broadway musical (which has had many revivals). It was also heard in the 1956 film version. Today I begin three days of tribute to the Broadway musical. On Sunday, from Lincoln Center, the 77th Annual Tony Awards will air live on CBS. Check out Jan Clayton and John Raitt (yes, Bonnie’s Dad!) [YouTube link], who reprise their Broadway duet for a 1954 salute to Rodgers and Hammerstein, as well as the film version, featuring Gordan McRae and Shirley Jones [YouTube links].
