American actor/singer Gordon MacRae’s releases for Capitol Records were quite successful. Through 1954 he scored numerous hits, among them "Rambling Rose," "So in Love," "It's Magic," "I Still Get Jealous," "Hair of Gold, Eyes of Blue," and "At the Candlelight Café."

MacRae starred in two of the most popular musicals of the 1950s, the movie versions of Richard Rodgers' and Hammerstein's Oklahoma!, and Carousel. In Oklahoma! he dazzled female hearts with such standards as "Surrey with the Fringe on Top," "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'," "People Will Say We're in Love," and the title song.

I believe the music at the top of the marker is Oh What A Beautiful Mornin', Oh What A Beautiful Day.
