So nice to see this. Just wish I could see more of Betty Taylor. I grew up near Disney World & saw her perform a couple times before they retired the show in '86. The Golden Horseshoe Revue performed on this stage but not this set. It also had only 4 saloon dancers & no Annette. Thank goodness Disney Corp. honored Betty as a LEGEND for them after she put in over 30 yrs & 45,000 performances as Slue-Foot Sue.

[LoreneFaith]

@garywrightny So glad to hear that Betty got the honor she deserved. Thanks for sharing.

[msbelle04]

I hope Annette knows how much she is still remembered and loved!

[LoreneFaith]

@msbelle04 I sure hope that she does. Annette, if you ever look at your videos on YouTube, we love you! You will always be one of the darlings of America.

There's No School Like the Old School!

[LoreneFaith]

@Forysan Ain't that the truth :)

[Tadicuslegion78]

[LoreneFaith]

@Tadicuslegion78 You got that right!

[fivebearrugs]

[jonneyd]

where can i get this mp3?

[LoreneFaith]

@jonneyd I wish I knew

[sickkat44]

"they like their entertainment gay and exciting..." isn't that every male entertainer at disney? lol

[waynebrasler]

She was always so calm! I think that serenity is what got her attention in the first place among other overeager child performers.

[pickensj2]

So this was a live show at Disneyland? Man, I love Disneyworld/Disneyland now but I bet it was so much more fun back then when you could see people like Annette performing while you were there! She looks so pretty!

[LoreneFaith]

This was a live show at Disneyland in the early 60's. Annette is adorable and one of the sweetheart's of America forever!

[jorgecubria]

Thank you for reminding me of my mother, she used to be an exotic showgirl. YEEEWhooo!!!!

[LoreneFaith]

I think this is much more sexy and seductive than what they do now.

[HappilyPeculiar7]

this was stylized sex i gues you would say not the way they it is now. dressing like that for no reason now. her outfit fit the time she was supposed to be.

[HappilyPeculiar7]

I remeber when I was 7 or 8 and disney use to play all wonderful world stuff. I loved it to bad they took it off. This so much better Now I am 18 and totally miss this.

[VideoGuy84]

Forget Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff. No one will ever ever compare to Annette...EVER!

[LoreneFaith]

Well said and I totally agree!

[GonzoGuyy]

@VideoGuy84 Well this is very true. Still I'd take Hilary over Lindsay. 

[Juliaflo]

@VideoGuy84 Don't forget Stefani Lynn Angelina Germanotta; she won't compare, either. (That's Lady Gaga to you).



[mlec91283]

Italiannette, who's your fella?

Italiannette, you're bella, bella!

Italiannette, I think you're keen-o!

Italiannette, Italiannette, be my bambino!

[quickattack]

i like how her head bobbled at 1:45. =)

[userdan54]

I remember watching this on 'The Wonderful World of Color' in beautiful black and white on the family 21 inch stereo console set. How embarrassed I was as a youngster to see former Mousketeer Annette in the saucy role of a chorus girl, doffing her petticoat and showing so much. Now, some 45yrs.later, I can appreciate her blossoming from child star to young woman. What would have been really scandalous in this number was if Annette had removed her gloves a la Rita Hayworth in 'Gilda.'

[kairamoon]

This full show was a special done for the 10,000th show. I don't think she was in every show she was just a guest star. This one can be found on the Disneyland-Secrets, Stories and Magic DVD

[JohnnyGNV]

WAS THIS around 1962 or so? I don't remember what THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE REVUE was but I do remember ANNETTE singing this song on a Buena Vista 45rpm Record ~ was this a program shown on a regular basis on Walt Disney's Sunday night Show?

[LoreneFaith]

The Golden Horseshoe Revue was a live show that they had at Disneyland in Frontierland. They no longer have the show.

[adriantrench]

and people said disney was trying to maintain her virginal image

[LoreneFaith]

I do not have the entire show on my computer now. This is a portion of the many shows done at "The Golden Horseshoe Revue". If you are a real Disney fan, give me an email address and I can tell you where you can find a lot of Disney stuff to download.

[quickattack]

oh this was so fun! i'll be messaging you! =D

[Sniffeys]

Oh please where can I get them??

[SweetNymph]

I love how she's all sweet and innocent, then goes all Saloon Girl. XD

Don't suppose you have the entire show on file, would ya?

[shanxalot]

Great rare clip! Thanks!

[LoreneFaith]

Adorable Annette at her finest! America's Sweetheart! I am glad that you enjoyed it :)
