Broadway's highest priced singer, Ethel Merman lifts one of her high, gutsy notes in her hit, “Something For The Boys” in New York on Feb. 10, 1943, and she immediately attaches a new batch to her ever-growing list of fans. Surprisingly, the queen of musical comedy has never had a singing lesson. When someone touches the subject, she snaps back, in the same brassy voice, “Are you kidding” What would I do with singing lessons?” (AP Photo/Dan Grossi)
