#Quote
1I keep feeling that I'm just beginning, that I'm just a beginner. I've never taken the Met for granted. At the old house, whenever I walked in, I had that marvelous feeling--what am I doing here, a kid from Brooklyn?
2Vocally, there is no reason why you cannot sing for 30 or 40 years. I'm going to go on as long as I'm enjoying it, as long as I'm having a ball.
#Fact
1Upon his death, his remains were interred at Sharon Gardens Cemetery in Valhalla, Westchester County, New York. His location plot is Temple Israel New Rochelle, Block F, Lot 12A, space 1.
2He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 6763 Hollywood Blvd.
3Biography in: "The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives". Volume 7, 2003-2005, pages 364-365. Farmington Hills, MI: Thomson Gale, 2007.
4Remained in the shadows of baritone Leonard Warren during his early years at the Met. Following Warren's sudden death onstage at the Met in 1960, Merrill became the principal baritone.
5First singing role model was Bing Crosby.
6First inspired to sing as a teenager when he wandered in off the street to the Met and caught a performance of "Il Trovatore."
7His lifelong passion for baseball led to his long tenure at Yankee Stadium, where he sang the national anthem on opening day for three decades. Ironically, he died peacefully at home while watching the first game of the world series between the St. Louis Cardinals and, the eventual winners, the Boston Red Sox.
8A lifetime baseball fan, whose recording of "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played before New York Yankees home games for three decades, Merrill died while at home watching the first game of the 2004 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox.
9Sang with popular stars ranging from Frank Sinatra to Louis Armstrong. He performed as a soloist with many of the world's great conductors, including Leonard Bernstein, and made appearances for several presidents, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy.
10Earned admiration for his interpretations of dozens of operatic roles, including Escamillo in "Carmen" and Figaro in "The Barber of Seville," reportedly his favorite opera.
11Was a lifelong Yankees fan. Beginning in 1969, he followed a tradition that lasted three decades, singing the season-opener rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Yankee Stadium.
12He retired from the Met in 1976 but returned to its stage in 1983, when the company marked its centennial.
13His desire to branch into movie stardom, in the 1951 film Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick (1952), brought him into direct conflict with the Metropolitan Opera's autocratic General Manager, Sir Rudolf Bing. Making the film would have conflicted with some of Merrill's Met assignments. Bing felt that grand opera and the movies did not mix, having fired Met mainstays Lauritz Melchior and Helen Traubel for similar reasons earlier. When Merrill refused to budge in the matter, he was also fired. Eighteen months later, the film having failed at the box office, Merrill was reinstated only after practically begging Bing for another chance. Relations between the two men were cordial, but never really friendly, after that. Merrill retired shortly after celebrating his 30th anniversary with the Met in 1975.
14Co-wrote, with Fred Jarvis, the novel "The Divas" in 1978. The novel, a roman a clef about the romantic comings and goings in a major opera company, sold moderately well.
15Opera singer. Debut with New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1945.
16Had aspirations of being a baseball player; was a huge baseball fan.
17Best known for his full, effortless baritone voice.
