@YouzTube99 By any chance, did you happen to record the 1991 KCH Tribute to Katharine Hepburn, et al?
-
bigjoe, I'm glad you've enjoyed them.
KCH celebrate the best and the recognition is (usually) richly deserved.
However, the producers have a very limited time to stage one-off performances. These often suffer in comparison to the special qualities exhibited in the originals, qualities which are the very reason these folks are honored; this one is a clear example of that.
I just record the KCH shows and buzz through the bits that I feel don't really work - just like any other show. ;o)
-
I do not agree with you that the KCH is a tradition of embarassing performances. I have seen some wonderful performances through the years

Great tribute to an great gentleman lord of the Dance Mr. Astaire

Mr. Astaire introduced more songs that became standards.
Also, he had the greatest song writers of all time. He was the best.
Happy 110th birthday Fred

A true tribute from a song that sums everything about Fred Astaire - the first in a long line of great performance artists the kennedy has honored in 30 thirty years!
