 VH1.com : Nelson Eddy : Biography
Born in Providence, RI, Nelson Eddy was, by his own admission, raised as a pampered "mama's boy." His singing in the local church choir gained notice, and when Eddy's mother relocated to Philadelphia in 1917, Eddy began to divide his time working at a local newspaper and taking lessons from legendary singer David Bispham.
Eddy returned from his tour of duty only to discover that the wind had gone out of the sails of his film career, and his last film was a Republic Western, Northwest Outpost (1947).
Eddy may not have thought himself good enough to sing at the Met, but the energy and excitement that he brings to performances such as his 1940 recording of Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre, his broadcast work, and his duets with MacDonald are all ample evidence of his gifts.
