Jazz/lounge act Jackie and Roy getting hip in the mid 60s doing a Beatles song. At least it's not a common one!

  • I think I'll look into this "love" thing they're singin' about!  Might be the solution to ALL our problems!

  • I don't think that they are Diana Krall's parents...Roy's last name is spelled Kral... for triva's sake, Roy had a sister, Irene Kral, who was a great vocalist and recording artist..were she alive, she could sing circles around Diana Krall.

  • i think they broke up too early they were GREAT together thanks

  • This is very odd.

  • There are soooo good.. Wow, great sound.. I miss REAL music

  • @OldIrish77

    Agreed - this isn't really representative of what Jackie and Roy were best at. As cool a rendition as it is of a pretty simplistic Beatles song, it is really Jackie and Roy trying to survive into the sixties as their old act became "dated" in the eyes of audiences...

    For some reason they never climbed above the lounge level, albeit some big lounges - no hit singles - in spite of being highly rated by greats like Ella, Sarah Vaughan and even grumpy old Miles Davis.

  • Is this really the ONLY Jackie & Roy video available? It just does not do them justice because The Word wasn't their kind of music. They were fabulous jazz performers. I had the pleasure of seeing them live, and I think I have every audio track available, but surely there must be more video footage. Please?

  • It's great to see a video of Jackie & Roy, but as earlier comments have said, it will be a shame if this is the only video posted for them. Their great version of "Mountain Greenery" introduced me to them 40+ years ago. This late-60s attempt to get contemporary is nothing like what they were really about. Jackie had one of the most beautiful and pure solo voices of all time. Her ballad singing was incomparable. Roy was a very talented pianist-arranger who complimented his wife perfectly.

  • OMG! At 2:15, is that a mannequin sitting in front? LMFAO!!
