March 1959 TV special celebrating the life of entertainment executive Manie Sacks, 1902-58, starring Perry Como, Dinah Shore, Eddie Fisher, Jane Wyman, Frank Sinatra and others. In this segment: Sid Caesar comedy routine; Eddie Fisher sings. Promo for the upcoming "Jimmie Rogers Show" with Jimmie Rogers and Connie Francis.
Wow its interesting to see Eddie Fisher sing here. This is 1959 when his career was going very much downhill. His voice is still spectacular, but he seems to have lost something. He seems tired-and I know by this time he had been on "Dr. Feelgood's" injections for years-He just looks like he aged a lot over just a few years. In 1952-1956,at the height of his popularity, he was so cute and seemed to have more life in him. In this clip, he doesn't seem the same. But his voice is still fabulous!
