In 1947 , at the peak of his popularity , he appeared in the film '' Copacabana '' with Groucho Marx and Carmen Miranda . In this film , Russell good-naturedly plays his dumb-bell nightclub singer role with a mild manner , wide-eyes , and a toothy smile . About his performance , co-star , Gloria Jean said , " He was very bland , wishy-washy , but he had a lovely voice . " On March 13 , 1947 , he was a performer in the 19th Academy Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles , California , as he sang " You Keep Coming Back Like a Song " from the musical film '' Blue Skies '' , one of the songs nominated for the Oscar that year
