There is a great deal of controversy over "Did Jeremy use his real singing voice in My Fair Lady (1964)?" For many years, Jeremy insisted that he, himself, sang his own songs in MFL, but the "top notes" were "sweetened" by another singer. Yet in a 1994 documentary "More Loverly Than Ever: The Making of My Fair Lady Than & Now", he confessed his voice had actually been "dubbed" by the vocals of a more professional singer named Bill Shirley (which is also noted in the MFL soundtracks. He also did the voice of Prince Phillip from Disney's 1959 animated feature-film, Sleeping Beauty, comparingly, I admit, they are quite alike).

Despite the fact that Jeremy had excellent singing chords, Hollywood denied him the honour of the chorales of Freddie Enysford-Hill. And yet, there are several Brettians whom believe that the intro of "On the Street Where You Live" was personally sung by him, but Bill Shirley's replacement entered thereafter whenever Jeremy "sings". Nevertheless dubbed or undubbed, Freddie has remains one of Jeremy's most beloved and endearing of rôles.
