[TheHorcs24]

This is sht...even for Paul.

[Salete226]

Paul is wonderfull, versatile, awesome! I love you!!!

[joemac356]

Ugh. Talk about being out of your element.

[vincypinto]

...si ma da come parla sta raffreddato!!!Cmq immenso Paul!!!

[WpgLwr007]

Oooo...nice one, Paulie!

[littlenemo296]

Yes guys, Paul sings this piece still very nicely, in a swinging fashion, but if you wanna hear it in a really heart-melting, super-romantic way, I recommend Liza Minnelli's version...

[lavernemariebutler]

Nice to hear him do a standard!

[babyinblack]

aww what a sweetheart he is.

[wojiaokatya]

YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP (wonder whether this expresses my feelings sufficiently) YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PAUL LOVE I

[wojiaokatya]

Oh my goodness - was just looking up this song and what a RIDICULOUS surprise! Yohooo!

[YERBLUES87]

WOW!!!!

I LOVE THIS SONG, I LOVE PAUL McCARTNEY THAKS FOR THE VIDEO IS AMAZING!!!!!! ♥

[McLen194042]

He looks naked without some kind of instrument at his fingertips.

[neon854]

I really like Paul McCartney and a lot of his music. I think that he is (and certainly was) very talented. He is an amazing musician within his domain. But in this case, I actually think that he doesn't contribute with anything to this song. In my opinion, he doesn't perform it in a particularly good or special way. Honestly, this performance might as well have been done by some average adult male with a certain flair for music and some degree of a singing talent... If you really reconsider it.

[rebelsinger123]

What an amazing song and revue show!

[joedee1957]

Listen Carefully and you can hear how Paul was influenced by this type of tune when he wrote Honey Pie on the White Album... Songwriters of his generation had great influences...

[julbim]

@joedee1957 You are so right. Why the Beatles were the greatest group of all time is because they absorbed everything, they didn't think oh we're only rock'n'roll..they had no problem playing Till There Was You and their playing, with George particularly brilliant on guitar for that song, produced the best ever version of that show song. Till There Was You was written by Meredith Willson a protege of Loesser and was published by Frank Music, Loesser's company, now owned by Paul! All true greats.

[julbim]

The great thing about this performance is that it breaks down the divide that happened with the dawning of rock 'n' roll which unhappily seperated the great geniuses of songwriting like Berlin, Porter, Kern, Rodgers, Gershwin and, of course, the wonderful Frank Loesser from the beat merchants of Chuck Berry, Little Richard et al. Paul is in both camps producing a beauty like Here There and Everywhere and a beat classic like I Saw Her Standing There. Paul knows those old guys were truly great.

fai cagare, vai a cantare le canzoncine per te

[daeglan2010]

[Wron2357]

The song starts @ 2:10

[gilriccole]

Amazing! I loved it!

[biskitlee]

this guy cando any damn thing.....

[kirchfam]

This was so strange, but I like it.

[gilriccole]

Amazing, like everything that he does!

[daffodill9]

I love him and think he's a genius, but how strange to see him singing without playing an instrument, he looks so uncomfortable.

[bickie22]

hahah i think its really funny/annoying when people say that someone 'needs no introduction'......while giving an introduction

love ya, paul!

[Blendre]

Awesome!

[TripletsLovePaul]

Sooooo Charming!!! :-)

[Kimians]

Never in 40 years have I seen him do a hole song live without an instrument of some sort. This will be one for the history archives!

[ameroux]

I noticed that, too.  He seemed a bit uncomfortable.

[odgy65]

@Kimians Coming Up

[marcelmassa]

Please, someone give him anything to hold! A guitar, the Hofner bass, a child, some pet, I dont know... :))

It's so strange to see him just singing and not playing anything.

But he's great anyway, nice one!

[mclarke825]

Another example of the versatility of our Paul.

[MacRief]

@mclarke825 Not very amazing vocals. If an X-factor contestant sang like that, he would be rejected.

[Stube437]

@MacRief well he is nearly 70!!!

[LanaH1224]

Just so adorable! He obviously still has it...:)His voice sounds great as always. Very cute.

[chip418]

Really nice - I guess this was a dream coming true for him being on Broadway. Well, to me he hasn´t got anything to prove- he´s the best! I think he deserves a nice family life now and some happiness. In Europe please.

[bickie22]

"do you know Slow Boat to China?...Slow Boat to China...its in BFlat - do ya know it?"

hahahaha i dont know i laughed so much in that part - also the ending was such adorable Paul:

"get me, im on braodway!"

[Loud0glbc]

[robeekay]

Paul Ramone finally gets an audience!
