RIP Patrice Munsel

We've lost another mid 20th-century opera great.  Reports are circulating that Patrice Munsel died last week, although the Wikipedia article I link above does not reflect that as of this writing, and other news outlets' web sites do not confirm this.

In any case, allow me to celebrate the wonder of Patrice Munsel's singing and stage presence below:

Italian Street Song on Milton Berle, 1951

Adele's Laughing Song, possibly from the same 1951 television appearance

A 1958 appearance singing "I'll be loving you always", possibly from her own television show, which was broadcast 1957-58
