I am a puddle of goo...
May. 1st, 2013 11:08 pm... thanks to old Lawrence Welk clips being available on YouTube. I was looking up old Rose Milk commercials for something I'm writing, which led to the Welk show, which eventually reminded me that my first introduction to "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" was via Guy and Ralna. YouTube has two versions:
Memory is a funny thing: neither of these videos match the version stored in my head, which has Guy and Ralna staring intensely at each other throughout "Take my hand / take my whole life too." It was sizzling stuff for a seven-year-old (give or take a couple of years) to see and hear. Still, I'm glad these are available -- I'm struck now by how good the singing is.
(It's also odd to watch these in light of Ralna's comment about their divorce: "Guy and I were passionately in love, but we never really liked each other.")
