THE KENNEDY CENTER MARK TWAIN PRIZE FOR AMERICAN HUMOR | Rita Moreno | PBS

[kmg4]

Rita Moreno looks good for 80.

[mbrooks972]

Trying to download the sheet music for this, but is this Brasil by Ari Barroso? Just checking because this arrangement is a bit different from what I'm finding online (different key, clearly she's improvising at the end, etc.). Thanks!

[JaeTracie]

just saw this on tv, awesome! wish this clip was WHOLE!! what the heck!?

[MusicFromPeru]

Rita Moreno knew that Bill loves latin music.

[TheHarlowfan]

I loved it! Thanks for giving us the full performance

[thafirstking]

whats the name of this song

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

This performance is Apocryphal.

[KBlackeagle]

I feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon the show just before it started. Rita's performance was earth shattering and in essence the jazziest thing I've heard in a long time! Yeah i agree with the comments it is a disservice to show just a 2 minute clip. Lets have all or nothing.

[satladaltas]

Whoever at PBS was in charge of posting these videos has failed Rita Moreno and circumsized a great musical performance.

[leniawatson]

This was Performance was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Her was Swag is Stupefying! :D Bravo! Bravo!

[prepster845]

you guys suck big time for not putting the full performance up

[willb48207]

I'd been looking for this ever since I first saw it on PBS! Thank you! Unsurpassably brilliant/sexy. I'm so Rita's unworthy biotch!

[akpak]

Please post the full song. Her intro is absolutely awesome. The one you posted on your website is still not the complete version. Please, pretty please?

[pmgraz7]

Rita and Bill, please talk to someone there at PBS and ask them to post the whole thing! Hey...it doesn't hurt to ask :)

[gvt2u]

The people who run PBS are total, worthless idiots, and Rita Moreno is an unsurpassable Goddess with breathtaking talent and a gorgeous, fully-centered persona. If they won't allow viewers to see the full performance on line, then they can go try to raise money from viewers who prefer to watch stupid infomercials masquerading as public television specials during fund drives. FU PBS, and VIVA Rita Moreno!

[muchbettertennis]

Saw the whole performance. Absolutely stole the show. Proof that a 77 year old woman can be incredibly sexy! Wish PBS would post the entire performance. I've met many people who saw it and have said the same thing. Rita, you've still got it!!!!!

[TheAnnie6]

I think this is her version of "Aquarela do Brazil" a 1939 song.

[sweetangus]

seriously -- what is the name of that song? It was amazing.

[TheAnnie6]

Its her version of "Aquarela do brasil"

[kiricool225]

@sweetangus Brazil!!

[bmbutler2]

I missed recording this on my DVR. I would love to see the whole thing. AWESOME!

[merelymyopinion]

PBS - Please post the entire song. The 2:03 version here and at PBS's site has been badly chopped. The beginning is gone, which ruins this clip.

[merelymyopinion]

PBS: Why is the beginning chopped off this number? Many viewers want to see the entire performance, not this truncated 2:03 segment, here or at the PBS site. You're not building support this way; it only frustrates PBS viewers. PLEASE revise this clip.

[RMCLEMWI]

Watched it on PBS and was speechless -

stunning performance!!

[pmgraz7]

I still can't find the full version. And someone please give us the name of this song!! I can't find it listed as Brazil. This was such an awesome performance!!! Watched it all on PBS!!!

[algore92]

this is so wierd but so cool =)

i think if i listened to more stuff like this it wouldnt sound as wierd. haha but yeah very cool

[gvt2u]

I saw this during the broadcast and looked for it on YouTube because I was BLOWN AWAY! What a fabulous woman.

[daniells71]

anyone got a link to the full performance? I'm watching it right now on pbs but I don't have my dvr anymore.

[PBS]

We just added a link to where you can see the entire performance, in the video's description.

[daniells71]

Thank you!!!

[pmgraz7]

I looked on PBS website and looked in the description...I still do not see it. Please help! Thanks!!!

[PBS]

Look in the description, on the top right of this page, under the yellow block that says "subscribe."

[pmgraz7]

Ok. I found it, however, it is still not the full version. It is only the 2:03 minute version...Of course it is the best part of the song, but we are missing the amazing triangle solo in the beginning!! Thanks again for your help! We love PBS!!! :)

[Kolbgil1]

The world wants JUST Rita Moreno's full performance. To post on websites, like Facebook. Not the whole show. This is the zeitgeist now. Rita is hot. Could help your membership drive. Please post the entire Rita performance to share with the world.

[ipmoic]

Still one of the most beautiful, funny, sexiest ladies alive.

Magic!

[ipmoic]

She is the best!!!

Still SO sexy.

Funny, smart--one of the few people living I'd REALLY like to meet.

[jam90jaay]

Does anyone know the name of this song? I want it :)

[anmoose]

Awesome! Making a note now to be paying attention on Nov. 4. This is a must see.
