Burt Reynolds & Charo 1971

[Caleiva]

WOW! the name of this song is "El Porompompero" a widely known spanish flamenco song.

Charo may not have a great voice but surely is a great guitar player and an exceptional showman still nowadays. 

[lmrs2]

[leonardaguitar]

[NightinMadrid]

[LeahJane1995]

03:04 What the hell is that!?

[fifthdaughter]

What is the song she's singing? I like it mucho! : )

[LeahJane1995]

She claims it's a drunken song the gypsies sing prior to marriage I guess @fifthdaughter

[LeahJane1995]

She says it's a drunken song the gypsy people sing they day they get married and that when people in America get married they go cuchi cuchi lol @fifthdaughter

[uneedtherapy42]

[LeahJane1995]

Lol hi how are you mwah 

[LeahJane1995]

Aye dios mio was a tongue roll

[LeahJane1995]

She always said 'cuchi cuchi' lol

[roman14032]

people don't know that she was living with her mother in the bronx all through the years of her greatest fame and that her sister made her stage clothes for her by hand

[roman14032]

she was 20 years old here, she had already been world famos for 5 years

[LeahJane1995]

Actually she must've been 30 as US and Spanish officials believe she was 1941 she went to court in 1977 to convince her birth year was 1951@roman14032

[nuhtrue]

@rkcsam69 I think you meant to say Shakira is a 21st century Charo....

[rkcsam69]

how the hell did he host the tonight show?????

[rudolfo963]

@rkcsam69 Johnny Carson would go on vacation and even if it was a regular week he often was off the show on Monday nights and so a variety of guest hosts would sit in. Burt was one of them and many others including Garry Shandling, David Letterman, Joey Bishop, Joan Rivers, David Brenner, Bob Newhart etc.

[cocoamorocco19]

"You make sound like crick-et" oh my gosh lol

[Selectrolux]

She still looks exactly the same, 40 years later. What an entertainer she is. And I've heard she's fun to meet in person.

[danpolicarpo]

Mongo! Alex Karras looks like a mob enforcer here. great clip.

[axsisofevil]

I had heard that she was rated number 2 flemenco guitarist in the world , at one point....doesn't suprise me .....very talented

[noeljokait]

She still muy bonita!!!!



[ciccocenta]

Amazing that in 40yrs of living in America her English is no better now than it was then.

[Paracuarogto1]

@ciccocenta she does it on purpose, part of the show.

[TuneInTurnOnDropOutt]

@ciccocenta I think she's faking it!

[spider9137]

Forget J-Lo and Kim Kardashian ... Charo was the original Bubble Butt on television!

[setpunk12]

omg I saw Charo perform in either Reno or Las Vegas (can't remember which) when I was about ten.

brings back memories

She's actually an incredibly good serious guitar player. I remember she did a few slower songs that were great..

[LowBid86]

So that's what she was famous for!

[EFISHANT]

A lot of people don't know she was actually a very accomplished Flamenco guitarist!

[robatsea2009]

@EFISHANT I've seen her perform, and agreed - she doesn't get much recognition (if any) for her guitar skills, which are exceptional

[EFISHANT]

@robatsea2009 well, ya can see how people would be distracted by her other.........assets! Ha!

[alexanderdiaz1]

@robatsea2009 I second that comment...She is a brilliant Flamenco Guitarist!!!

[gmt3010]

@EFISHANT

I know! She is truly a gifted guitar player, but because of the huchi -cuchi nobody notices!

great video thanks robatsea for sharing

[LeahJane1995]

They thought she was known as the 'Cuchi Cuchi girl'@EFISHANT 

[TheProductofsociety]

XTRAVAGANZA POWER!!!

[7beers]

Is that her real hair? I can't tell for sure, but I'm going to say probably not.

[use2slam2]

yeah can't smoke a cigar on T.V. but it's o.k. for MTV to have a crap load of shows showing guys making out with guys!!! violent rap vids, and violent vid games like "grand theft auto"and God forbid T.V. land allows Lawanda Page using the word nigger in a funny sketch from sanford and son to go through. P.C. correct and Liberals are turning this country into crap

[szqsk8]

Wow, that other guy is smoking a cigar on TV! Don't see that any more thanks to the PC police.

[DrVegasIII]

I wonder if Burt tapped that???

[catra195]

@DrVegasIII lets pray for Burt's sake he didn't

[baudkarma]

Alex Karras, pro football player, smoking a cigar on national TV.

Granted, he was out of football a year, but still.. that's something you won't see any more.

[mcparla1]

Alex went to training camp in 1971 for the Lions, but they cut him. He wasn't washed up, but the idiot G.M. Russ Thomas wanted him gone.
