John Emmett Raitt (January 29, 1917– February 20, 2005) was an American actor and singer best known for his performances in musical theater.
Raitt was born in Santa Ana, California. He got his start in theatre as a high school student at Fullerton Union High School in Fullerton, California. While there, he played in several drama productions in Plummer Auditorium. Raitt sang in the chorus of The Desert Song. (A few years before he died, Raitt once again came back to the Plummer to see a rehearsal, visit students and recollect his beginnings.) He is on the school's "Wall of Fame" for his accomplishments. In 1935, Raitt won the "football throw" at the California State High School Track and Field Championship; his mark of 220 feet remains the state record in that short-lived event. He was named "Athlete of the Meet" after that accomplishment. He graduated from the University of Redlands in 1939.
He is best known for his stage roles in the musicals Carousel, Oklahoma!,The Pajama Game, Carnival in Flanders, Three Wishes for Jamie, and A Joyful Noise, in which he set the standard for virile, handsome, strong-voiced leading men during the golden age of the Broadway musical. His only leading film role was in the 1957 movie version of The Pajama Game opposite Doris Day.

Hij draait zich om en van haar af
Zoekt naar een zuigzoen, vloekt, strijkt zijn haar glad
Glijdt traag in zijn kleren en vraagt haar om een vuurtje
Hij blijft voor het venster een sigaretlang staan
"Ik moet zo weg", zegt ie, zijn jas al aan
Tussen komst en vertrek zit amper een uurtje
Hoe kan iemand zo mooi, zo wreed zijn?
Hoe kan iemand zo mooi, zo breed zijn?
Wat zij echt voor hem voelt schijnt niet ter zaken
Hij komt hier voor één doel...
Een paar weken later, ineens de telefoon, "Waar heb jij uitgehangen?"
Ze hoort de hoon als ie zegt, "Ik kom zo dadelijk bij je"
Zij neemt zich voor hem nu de waarheid eens te zeggen
Zodra ze opendoet begint ze uit te leggen
Maar hij snoert haar de mond, leidt haar tot bed, en zegt een half uur later pas, "Oja, daarnet, wat zei je?"
Hoe kan iemand zo mooi, zo wreed zijn?
Hoe kan iemand zo breed, zo mooi zijn?
Hij komt hier voor een doel "H'm flink te raken"
En wat zij voor hem voelt schijnt niet ter zaken
Hoe kan iemand zo...
Hoe kan iemand zo...
Hoe kan iemand zo...
Hoe kan iemand zo...
Hoe kan iemand zo...
