Ziegfeld Follies Broadway
September 23rd, 2008
Did Bob Hope ever record “I Can’t Get Started”? I am trying to find a recording of him singing the song?
I know Bob Hope introduced the song on Broadway in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1936 with Eve Arden. I remember watching a TV special in the late 70s or early 80s in which he sang the song with Shirley Jones and talked about the original Broadway show. I think the special may have starred Ethel Merman as well. For a long time now I have been trying to find either a clip of Hope and Jones from the special or a recording of Hope singing “I Can’t Get Started”. Does anyone know if he ever recorded it on a record or during a radio or TV show? Thanks!
I don’t think Bob Hope ever sang songs, but if he did, when you find it, Please share it with us!
THANKS!
