Gene Nelson in Tea for Two (1950) This dance was choreographed to showcase Gene Nelson’s skills as an athletic dancer, in hopes audiences might come to think of him as Warner Brothers’ equivalent of Gene Kelly. He won the 1950 Golden Globe as Best New Star, but his career on screen never really took off. He did find success as a director. He directed two Elvis films and episodes of The Donna Reed Show, I Dream of Jeannie, Gilligan’s Island, Star Trek, Hawaii Five-O, The Mod Squad & Ironside. | O

With his smooth, captivating pop jazz sound and perfect vocal harmonies, Gene Nelson is one of the most beloved singers of all time. He is known for his ability to perform songs with great introspection and depth. The song "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart" is an energetic and vibrant track, which became a cultural phenomenon thanks to its flowing melody, narrative lyrics, and powerful vocals. The song was written by James F. Hanley, one of the greatest songwriters and lyricists of all time. "
