<i> From Times Wire Services </i>
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
William Warfield just keeps singin’ along.
The 70-year-old Warfield is back in town to sing “Old Man River,” the meandering melody he immortalized in the 1951 movie of the musical “Showboat.”
Warfield will sing during a fifth anniversary celebration Wednesday for the General Jackson showboat at the Opryland U.S.A. country-music theme park.
“The thought of performing ‘Old Man River’ on a true showboat certainly brings back some fond memories,” Warfield said.
