Today in 1950, Frank Loesser's musical "Guys & Dolls," starring Robert Alda, Vivian Blaine, and Sam Levene, opened on Broadway. To celebrate this (and because listening to this song helps me feel happy), I'm sharing this song called "If I Were a Bell". I like it becuase the woman singing it just seems so happy and it's contagious. So, I post it here in the hope it helps others feel good too.
