IRVING BERLIN "God Bless America" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[Lampshade51]

Does anyone have any more of this? Irving Berlin rarely made any public appearances in his later years, but Ed Sullivan talked him into coming on his show in 1968 to sing a few of his songs, which is where this clip is from.

Very inspiring man.

[toured87]

what a terrible editing cut at the end there... such a nice song sung by a great man, then a sudden 'tim and eric' style cut.

[1baratone]

This Land is your land suites your Country more, that's why Woody wrote it.

@TheNiceHunt hahahaha, ale co w ogóle tutaj robi mój komentarz? Chyba ktoś dodał komentarz pod moją nieobecność :D

[MrBeczkowoz]

fajnie

[CyberspacedLoner]

so a jew singing a song of vulgar patriotism is more American than a negro? and who are Americans, Europeans, native americans, Africans, mixed native or only European conquers/settlers, it must be hard being a conservative white, all the fear of being robbed by poor people, especially minorities, adding racist fears/hatred and the prospect of loosing the population majority, becoming only a privileged minority like whites in latin america or south africa.?

@CyberspacedLoner  good one

[MooPotPie]

@pompom11 Maybe you could loan him a spare bullet.

[MooPotPie]

@CyberspacedLoner It must really suck being you. I mean really, REALLY suck bad.

[pointreyes6]

that horrible theme music that ends this clip

[Michaelbos]

A great song, written by a great man

[Angelzofblue]

GREAT

Irving ... God Bless you. Much to the dismay of the Anti-American President BHO, WeThePeople still revere music like this ... (BHO probably likeS gutter-rap about killing white cops and raping cheap ho's)

[TheBlueyedblond]

@gto66solstice08 that's because Barry IS from the gutter...and he is dragging America down with him.

[procrastinator300]

@TheBlueyedblond who's Barry?

[gto66solstice08]

God Bless You, Irving ... The 21st century seems to have passed folks like you by, much to the delight of Obama, and much to sadness to true Americans.

(Notice I don't icluded BHO  as a "True American"

[noclouds111]

A great part of "Americana" My grandfather was Mr. Berlin's butler.

[gto66solstice08]

I grew up with Ed Sullivan , even went to a taping with Boy Scout Troop.

Hollywood doesn't make these pure American shows anymore .... Mores the Pity

[skikdia21000]

god no bless america ,america is mother of satan

[JerseyBob86]

@skikdia21000 The intent of your comment is as ridiculous as your grammar. God Bless America. @librarybob1958 Irving Berlin is American popular music, indeed.

[librarybob1958]

Someone once asked George Gershwin what he thought Irving Berlin's place in American popular music was. Gershwin is said to have replied, "Irving Berlin IS American popular music!"

The attached clip is, herewith, offered as incontrovertable evidence of that.

God Blessed Iriving Berlin and us!
