Paul Robeson singing "Old Man River" in SHOW BOAT (1936), with men's chorus. Wow, Universal did a great job of making its backlot look like Mississippi in the late 19th century. I love this.

Helen Morgan, as Julie LaVerne, singing "Can't Help Loving That Man of Mine" from SHOW BOAT (1936). Also seen are Irene Dunne as Magnolia, Hattie McDaniel as Queenie, and Paul Robeson as Joe. This is my favorite film version of the legendary musical play because it has many of the original cast members from Broadway and London, and it's closer to the original dark concept of the 1927 Ziegfeld production.
