Peter Allen performs "I Go to Rio" on July 4th special

[medicoonline]

Mr. Allen: In Brazil there are no Bamba. There are no monkeys in the streets .Brazil is a modern country.Please, get informed next time. This song is not welcome.No one is exempt from saying nonsense, the only misfortune is saying (or singing) it solemny.

Barry White sang a very beautiful song about the Marvelous City, Rio de Janeiro.

@medicoonline Oh come on...in the eternal musings of Bill Murray, LIGHTEN UP, MEDICOONLINE! It's a freakin' song...and sometimes songs are supposed to just be fun and escapist, NOT accurate.

So get whatever is stuck up your patootie out and just enjoy a happy song, OK?

@medicoonline your a goose

[rjplamf61]

@medicoonline you don't have to worry about him singing the song anymore since he passed on.

[Bubberscat]

Wow he was an amazing entertainer, thanks for posting this clip.

[naoesquecomais]

This is beyond amazing! Why can't we have more performers like him? In portuguese we have an expression that fits well here: "deu tudo de si"! hahaha

Spectacular, can't get tired of hearing this song. It puts me into a good mood instantly.

[frenchwistiti]

U right ! He was a real performer ! :D

[MrLProfeta]

I can't stop watching this video. I recently saw Hugh Jackman's one man show and he did a medley from "The Man from Oz" He did this song...I had an idea who Peter Allen was...but now that I am older I can truly appreciate his voice.....what a performance this is....love when he does the splits on the piano!!!!

This clip brings back so many memories. I caught Peter on this show by accident. I was performing at a club in LA and was staying at a friend's house in Venice Beach.

On the 4th I turned on the TV and saw the intro by Oprah, and grabbed a VHS and shoved it into the VCR,.to happily capture the two songs Peter did. I still have the tape.
