The Beautiful Ava Gardner Sings. . . For Real!

Ava Gardener and Frank Sinatra's love affair and marriage were the very stuff of Hollywood legend. There's no question that she was one of the most beautiful actresses of her generation, or any other for that matter. When the film Showboat in which Ava starred with Howard Keel was released MGM decided not to use her real singing voice but instead dubbed Annette Warren's voice onto the soundtrack. I've never heard Ava sing her two songs from the film before, but here, thanks to the wonder of Youtube is Ava singing, Can't Help Lovin Dat Man and Bill. They should have left her voice on the movie.
