The song Rose Marie is a favourite of mine as sung by Nelson Eddy. But when I heard it sung by Richard Tauber it was even more enjoyable. What a master of singing he was with such a beautiful voice.The harm done to so many great artisfs by smoking is a terrible tragedy from greed and ignorance.

I have always admired this great singer & others like him. Sad he died so young, but I’m glad he left us a great legacy. For some reason as l got older l began to be drawn to the music of such artists as this fine gentleman. I find his music soothing, relaxing & joyous. GB you Mr R.Tauber.

I don’t think Tauber suffered a “horrible” fate. He was welcomed in Great Britain, where he had a very successful career. At the very end of his life, suffering from lung cancer, (he smoked) he was given the role of Don Otavio by the visiting Vienna Stats Opera, as a tribute to his importance to them and to Vienna. Yes, lung cancer is horrible but that would be the case even without the Nazi exile. Many other artists died horribly at the hands of the Nazis but Tauber was not one of them. All in all, he had a rather glorious career and was well appreciated, as he should have been. He has always been a favorite of mine. What a career! Thanks for the picture.
