  • What year was this?

  • so tragic..... so moving.... can you imagine hearing this song with your marriage failing and your career making show coming to an end. I would be crying.... but her song made for a magical cinematic moment.... oh lucille ball.... i dont think anyone will forget you or stop loving you, despite how you felt at the end of your career and the way people reacted to your work at the end. Fans will always love you lucille ball....

  • She filed for divorce after this :(

  • The googling I have done seems to say it realy was Vivian Vance playing.

  • they wanted to stay married

  • they were so much in love in I Love Lucy & i only wanna think of them in love & married. They were the only loves of their lives

  • they are together in heaven & will be forever. Before Desi died they wished they were together & undid all the problems they had.

  • They kissed after divorce, i believe they were always married but i really wanna go back in time & change the past so they would stay married.

  • I would do anything to go back in time & change the past so they would stay married forever & worked it out. They should've stayed together & they wished they were together after & never got over each other. They were so much in love in 1940 til the rest of their lives. They could've got back together. They were married a long time. I read Vivian Vance was married to 2 of her husbands for 18 yrs is the longest she's been married.

  • I wish we could go back in time & make them stay married forever & they didn't have any problems.

  • so sad

  • it lucy's documentary Edie adams said that when she sang that song everybody started crying at least Lucy and Desi

  • If you feel fear and are going to break up with your sweatheart, listen to this first.

  • This episode was the first time I ever heard a standard. I was ten years old, and from then on I was hooked. Thank you, I Love Lucy. They don't write songs like these anymore.

  • Please tell me how I can get this song!!

  • @Johnyzx57

    vid2mp3

  • Check Out Miss Ethel On those keys People....Its Real and called talent.

  • @captainkarma212

    i read somewhere that she actually fake played. that she would act like she was playing. not sure if this is true though. i always believed she was playing the notes, so who knows?

  • @th1smomentisfate thats not true. she really was playing.

  • It's like watching your Grandparents get divorced....Heartbreaking.

  • i mean i adore this song...but it makes me want to cry EVERY TIME!

  • lucy is a superb actress, but in this one scene you can see the devastation in her eyes, even though she was trying to hide it. lucy and desi breaking up, as crazy as it sounds, kind of felt like a close family member breaking up when it happened. watching this show you feel like they are a part of your life. I LOVE LUCY!!!

  • @th1smomentisfate well said & im glad u noticed too that lucy looks sad in that scene.

  • @moviefannnnnn

    ive seen i love lucy/lucy desi comedy hour a million times, but for some reason this episode ive only seen a couple of times. its sad to watch.

  • @th1smomentisfate yea it is sad. everytime i watch this scene its like u know they werent gettin along and it was over. the song was a perfect fit for the final episode

  • Comment removed

  • Love this song. Love Lucy :)

  • I think this is the only divorce that people have actually taken personal, I mean it actually HURTS to think of these 2 divorcing. Especially because they kept loving each other till the day they each died.

  • @Kay2be2M No friend, that is not true at all. I certainly took my divorce personally.

  • I sent my girl this link cause it's exactly how I feel at the moment. she doesn't feel secure about me and my career or empty pockets..she fears I will never be able to support her

  • This is so beautiful, hold your love tight when this plays.

  • My sister in law enjoys Mr.Tony Danza's version of this tune..but..Ms.Adams rendition is more meaningful and beautiful

  • lovely song, lovely voice, lovely lady

  • I love this song. My friend sang it for me at my wedding when we signed the certificates :)

  • Aww this song has so much meaning<3 and the next day they filed for divore :(

  • @cam11971 i know look how rapt lucy is ............magic

  • It brings tears to my eyes every time I watch this. thank you for posting <3

  • @countrylalaland no it is depressing to me too!

  • Best sho EVER!!!!

  • Am I the only one who finds this extremely depressing?

  • @Countrylalaland HECK NO ITS A SONG ABOUT LOVE & WHAT IT HOLDS & WHAT U WOULD DO FOR LOVE FOR LOVES SAKE,,,,& THE OTHER PARTY,,its terribly romantic

  • @4615larkc

    Its depressing because the two main actors of the show had to sit there hearing about love, and the next day after this, they got a divorce... it is very depressing...

  • beautiful. happy 100th birthday, Lucille Ball! The world still loves you. :)

  • @weightfeather1 - sorry I missed that : / Great song no matter what the dates are around it all : )

  • @weightfeather1 - to be precise, Kovac's died over a year and half after this episode was filmed. The episode was filmed on 3/2/1960, Ball filed for divorce the day after, and Kovacs died on 1/13/1962. Still sad circumstances for everyone though ...

  • Michael Buble has his own version of this song. I love it!

  • This is such a beautiful song but sad since it was the end for i love lucy and the end for lucy and desi's marriage :(

  • @bigkevcxza Yes. He died on March 3rd 1966.

  • didnt William Frawley die a few years after the show ended?

  • Thank you so much for uploading this!!! I use to always search for this scene, but never could find it. Just getting to see everybody's ture personal expressions on the set and knowing it touched all the viewers hearts the same, as well. I knew Edie never recorded this. Somebody should have and/or should just release this on its own. This is so beautiful.

  • both she and her voice are gorgeous

  • Dear Melody Of Vision,

    Actually..Mr.Ernie Kovacs died a year or two after this show aired..Poor

    Ernie in a car crash in the winter of 1962.

  • Beautiful song!

    

  • woman with " THE GOLDEN VOICE".

  • that was like a fairytale....DEFINITELY belongs in some classic princess movie((x

  • Thumbs up if Darren Criss brought you here!

  • the aired that episode one time...i was lucky enough to catch it but i was too young to understand it was the serious finale and why it was so sad. one of my fav songs till this day.

  • It's too bad that you don't hear a lot of singing like this anymore...Michael Buble is about the only contemporary singer I can handle. That's why I listen to German and Russian pop music...there's still some legit singers in those languages. Good music is good music, no matter what the language.

  • My heart sank when I heard this for the first time, it still is so beautiful. I love you.

  • Ahhhh i get so sad everytime i hear this. Such a good song tho.

  • poor lucy... shes obviously in a trance, she isn't even acting in this scene anymore

  • Edie talked about this in interview.  It was a song that was very special to her and Ernie, but she learned at the taping that it was probably the very worst choice for that episode, because by this time, Lucy and Desi were no longer speaking. Lucy filed for divorce the day after it wrapped. It was a very difficult shoot, and terribly sad. She said she looked around the room after finishing singing, and everyone was crying.

  • i love this song

  • @funknastydarrling  yea she does look a little sad in that shot. it was sad

  • i dont think the series finale was ever aired regularly with the repeats

  • @funknastydarrling : In the book "The Other Side of Ethel Mertz", it was said that the cast and crew were just in absolute tears after this episode was filmed....Lucy filed for divorce the next day.

  • Several years ago I saw a documentary on 'Lucy" and Edie Adams was interviewed. She said that she picked this 'little number' without knowing that Lucy and Desi were on the brink of divorce. She found out about it on the news and was just shocked. R.I.P. Miss Adams.....we'll always give you love....

  • Beutiful!!!!

  • Really nice song. It means so much.

  • how come 9 people dislike this song? they are stupid

  • Simply classic and sublime!! and hey...Vivian Vance does a good "piano fake" doesn't she? LOL. Loved this!

  • WOW! She was a very beautiful woman....and what a voice!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!

  • this is a beautiful song. edie adams has such a great beautiful voice.

  • she looks like the actress Vilma Santos, of the Philippines

  • That's Beautiful!

  • To me it always felt like this song was their goodbye to the audience... "I love you, I love you thats all"

  • Edie Adams was one helluva broad: talented, gorgeous, and went through an awful lot with Ernie Kovacs' family troubles (his first divorce was a miserable one, with a mentally ill first wife who kidnapped his beloved children in the days before such a thing was really considered a crime). Edie also originated the role of Daisy Mae in LIL' ABNER on Broadway.

  • Boy, she was so pretty!

  • I try and I try and I TRY! ;,,,( can't hold back the tears. I love Lucy and Ricky and all it's cast. Today's shows and so called actors and actresses will never! B as great as they were. "That's all " is my favorite song. She sings it so wonderfully and romantically.

  • This so perfect. Couldn't possibly be better. Highest rated show on TV now? Two and A Half Men. Progress? I don't think so....

  • trivia: she was in its a mad mad mad mad world.  as sid ceasers wife.

  • Didn't Lucy file for divorce the next day???

  • @Kady81 Yes she did,and not long afterwards Edie lost her husband Ernie Kovacs(also in this clip-seated on the sofa,was killed in a car crash.

  • @TZEITEL10 Oh, wow!!! I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

  • Nobody ever sang it better than this.

  • I could look at Edie Adams singing this song forever. She conveys the message of a true Love.

  • This is my favorite version of this song. One good reason is the dreamy, romantic look on Edie Adams. The way she sing these great lyrics always makes me cry.

  • Ethel Mertz with some nice jazz accompanyment piano there. I guess all the while she was suffering through a life dealing with Fred Mertz, she had some free moments to listen to all those great Bud Powell records. LOL!

  • @wildnites558 You got that too? LOL I was justing saying how Vivian Vance can do a good "piano fake" *smile*.

  • Wow...so beautiful it brought me to tears .

  • Can u get this song on iTunes or on a cd?

  • @TodaysSweetkiss - Unfortunately, Edie Adams never cut an audio-only version of this song. This phenomenal performance was specifically for this last episode of the I Love Lucy series. It is special because it was so charged with meaning considering this was the end of the show and the marriage of Desi and Lucy. It was also special too for Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams, because a few years later, Kovacs died in a tragic car accident.

  • @MelodyOfVision - WOW..... 

  • @MelodyOfVision So sad.

  • @TodaySweetkiss @MelodyOfVision You can use youtube downloader then transfer it to a mp3 format. 

  • @MelodyOfVision they need to put it ontwitter

  • @TodaysSweetkiss yup :)

  • @TodaysSweetkiss you can actually find a similar version that was done for the movie introducing dorothy dandridge...

  • Comment removed

  • @theFriendlyHughes I remember one warm day that I'd just gotten up and was listening to the news--it was announced that Lucy had passed away. The med. procedure didn't work, I almost cried.

  • Wow Edie sings so beautifully....I love the way Ernie looks at her as she sings. What a wonderful couple...truly made for each other..i only wish things had worked out the same for Desi and Lucy. What a great era in television history, with true talent. Things today are just not the same.....

  • when you know the backstory of what was going on at the time between Lucy and Desi, this song is just so beautiful yet so heartbreaking. I don't know about you, but this scene makes me all emotional lol

  • @dontchalovett3 exactly! When you realize that their marriage was breaking up at this time, it's so sad...

  • 7 dislikes ,,,,,,,,,7 idiots!!!! this song takes me to a beautiful place i just close my eyes and its like im not here anymore, does anyone else feel dat way ?

  • god I love Edie Adams

  • it breaks my heart when i hear this cause i know so much of the back story and its just such a beautiful song

  • I just love Edie Adams she is the best, I can listen to this song over & over :)

  • Edie Adams was always perfect in my eyes. I am so sad that she is gone.

  • I have been searching for years to hear this song again kuz I haven't heard it since I was a little boy and I'm 24 now lol. Lucy was always one of my favorites on Nick At Nite

  • Oh how i WISH there was talent and music like this still on the radio!

  • @SoUrTheWolfGrrrl Try WMKV-FM 89.3 in Cincinnati - They're on the web @ wmkvfm.org

  • @SoUrTheWolfGrrrl There is. You can even compile your own favorites on your computer or mobile smart phone.I have. Pick a song or an artist that you like and similar music and/or artist will be played! And yes btw isn't that a sweet melancholy song?

  • @SoUrTheWolfGrrrl You'd be surprised, but there is. You have to find it, though. Check out Darren Criss, you might know him from Glee, which could make you think he's not worth being listened to. However, he's a brilliant musician, did a cover of this song when he was just playing in bars, and his choice of songs are just marvelous (The Temptations, Sinatra, among others), and he has a couple of original songs that are pretty good for a 21st century dude! I hope you'll actually search for him :)

  • @SoUrTheWolfGrrrl I miss "Hubbard's Cupboard" raddio show. The only downside was all of the commercials!

  • @SoUrTheWolfGrrrl There is still talent out there, just not in the mainstream music which to me is very sad.

  • @SoUrTheWolfGrrrl wasn't it great? I wish we praised and sought after true classic talent like this these days - now its about image.

  • so amazing! Makes me really feel the words <3

  • The 6 people who disliked this song were blinded by pure AWESOMENESS!

  • I love this clip. Stunning.

  • I cherish these old clips that keep these days alive and well. I remember them well, wish these precious days were back..

  • Just amazing

  • I'm only 24 and I find myself wanting to turn the radio off with all of the music you hear nowadays. I wish there were more voices like hers today.. I absolutely love this.. on top of the fact that she's gorgeous...

  • Simply stunning. I wish people had a voice as wonderful as hers, but almost everything now is fixed up by computers. :(

  • Ernie Kovacs was there! Wish more of his TV work could be found online. He was 'way ahead of his time.

  • Must have been so hard for them both to hold back all those emotions while Edie was singing this. I would have burst into tears.

  • Lovely video.

  • It was sad that RIGHT after this episode was over.... Lucy divorced Ricky.... :( Dezie (i think that's how you spelled it) wanted to make things right, lil Ricky begged him to fix it. but it was too late...

  • This was one of the most touching scenes on the Ricky & Lucy Comedy Hour. Sadly, after this finale they divorced in real life & that was ALL.

  • @daytimesdramaqueen Not really. Both Lucille and Desi Kept in touch over the years. Because of their children and grandchildren they did.

  • @candylaurenkaryn Thanks so much, I didn't realize they remained so close :)

  • woops...6 people accidently disliked this performance.

  • @StacyOh1717 LOL they must be blind or deaf. :p

  • @crystalelaineq I'd support any sponsors that would sponsor music like this on the radio today!

  • I'm sure that when Poor Ernie Kovacs was killed in that car crash in the winter of

    1962.That this song ment more to Edie Adams.

  • Lovely

  • Wow she looks pretty hot of course back in that time. I'd hit it.

  • @tien714 i beg you to grow up and show a tad of respect. "Id "hit"it? C'mon, dont be such a pig

  • Philip Morris did NOT sponsor the hour-long episode this appeared in, 'tripjet' [they discontinued their sponsorship of "I LOVE LUCY" after the 1954-'55 season]. This originally aired as the April 1, 1960 edition of "THE WESTINGHOUSE LUCILLE BALL-DESI ARNAZ SHOW" (later repeated on CBS and in syndication as "THE LUCY-DESI COMEDY HOUR"). But Lucy and Desi WERE heavy smokers, and lit up, no matter what sponsor sustained them...that's why both of them eventually died from cancer.

  • this is sad

  • wow that is an increible performance of that great song

  • Comment removed

  • THE SONG IS BEAUTIFUL BUT PAINFUL FOR LUCY AND DESI THEY WERE DIVORCING AND IF YOU LOOK AT LUCY YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN IN HER FACE. I THINK THEY ALWAYS LOVED EACH OTHER EVEN AFTER THEIR DIVORCE.

  • I've always loved Miss Adams and her rendition of "That's All" is just beautiful. Thanks for posting this.

  • Enjoy the song for it's romantic purpose - disregard any politics.

  • Awww, just lovely! Thank you :)

  • One of the most long sought after video episodes where this beautiful singer sang for I Love Lucy Show when it repeated itself so many times before youtube and we only had three channels.Many listened to this singer and we all knew we were looking at a star on the rising .That's All ,now has been song so many times now by different singers male and female that Edie Adams remains the best version.

  • Comment removed

  • HEEEEEY!! i had been lookin for this performance for the longest!! Thank you!!

  • Sad that the merchants of death (Philip Morris) were allowed to sponser this or anything else.

  • @tripjet999 - I agree. :o( But I guess back then they might not have known the implications of smoking and considered it cool.

  • @MelodyOfVision

    they at Phillip Morris knew

    I heard from an lucy historian that Phillip Morris asked her NOT to smoke when she was pregnant with Desi Jr.

  • @MelodyOfVision Please give me a break from 50 years ago.

  • @165valley - Back then you were only 4! ;o)

  • @tripjet999 , Phillip Morris only sponsored the first four seasons, the last five (including this episode) were sponsored by other companies, including General Foods, Ford Motors and Westinghouse. This episode was sponsored by Westinghouse.

  • @tripjet999 yeah, now the advertisers just push chemicals and fat laden foods. The costs of obesity have surpassed those of tobacco related diseases.

  • @tripjet999 Different time. calm down felicia 

  • @tripjet999 , Phillip Morris only sponsored the first four seasons.  In the middle of the fourth season, Phillip Morris shared sponsorship with Procter and Gamble. After the fourth season, Phillip Morris was no longer a sponsor. The fifth and sixth seasons were sponsored by P&G and General Foods, with Ford Motor Company joining late in the sixth season. The seventh season as sponsored by Ford exclusively, and the eighth and ninth seasons were sponsored by Westinghouse exclusively.

  • does anyone know were i can download this song i really want it

  • This always makes me cry..what a beautiful and sad song. It has been said that Lucille Ball cried after that shot.

  • Beautiful!

  • @crystalelaineq there are woman like this, my friend charlene can sing like this and my voice is in between(i'm more broadway though lol)

  • Vivian Vance never got a long with William Frawley i guess from what i heard is that the 2 of them always fought and that both William Frawley and Desi Arnaz both were heavy drinkers, but Lucille Ball went on to do her own shows such as the Lucy Show and Heres Lucy, the Lucy Show had Vivan Vance in it she played herself but she was cast as Lucy's sister

  • long live old time tv nothing can compare

  • Lucy doesn't seem to happy in this scene.

    She's was one tough lady.

    I think she would have stay married to Desi all their lives if he hadn't been such a scoundrel.

  • TV at it's finest, the classic days are behind us, but at least we can re-live them. Wonderful voice, wonderful sitcom.(Lucille and Desi R.I.P.)

  • Wow...

    That lady has raw talent!!

    Think about it...no mixing...editing....just all laid out there, and beautiful to the tee

    Didn't miss a note...

    Wow...

  • wow Edie Admas had GORGEOUS eyes.

  • I just heard this nice song sung at a funeral and it was incredibly touching and summed up the person's life perfectly. Nat King Cole penned this timeless masterpiece.

  • ¿who sings originally this song?

  • @iempsa I think it was Nat King Cole. :)
