What a marvelous talent and he kept his capabilities right up until the end!

@55DepotStreet You're exactly right! My father and mother, born in 1898 and 1902 respectively, were exemplars of those characteristics to a "T"!

What a beautiful man...

@55DepotStreet - That's a great comment about the late 19th & early 20th century generation, I've thought the same thing. They were remarkable people with a great deal of discipline.

@55DepotStreet Just to be clear, I was not insinuating Lucas was lip-syncing. I only was stating that the 'oldtime' microphone was a prop (not working), and that a REAL, WORKING modern microphone was placed in the old microphone shell. Yes, Nick Lucase WAS singing.... Hate to say that lipsyncing was a trick reserved for MANY generations... Most movie soundtracks are lipsynced (especially the big musicals of the 40's and 50's), as well as major TV variety shows like "Hollywood Palace"....

@musicom67 Ridiculous. In those days, if you couldn't perform, you didn't get on stage. He would have rather died than lip sync a song. You're insulting the legacy of one of the greats! Lip sync is a trick reserved for this generation. This man was a trooper, playing all over the world for 60 years!

The one and only, Nick Lucas! He's 84 in this performance... How does he keep his voice? This guy was a one of a kind. If you've known anyone born around the end of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th, you know they were a talented, moral, wonderful group of people. They just don't make them like that anymore....
