  • I'm totally knocked out by the way Carol Channing absolutely takes over after she dropped a verse and holds out that pickup note until she can hear that Mitchell Ayres (the music director) has caught on that she's skipping to the end. Then the pianist continues and covers, and then by the time she gets to very end, Ayres has brought the band back in for the ending. A perfect recovery by Channing, adopting an approach which prevented disaster and put the brakes on a moving train. Genius!!

  • This is back when she was somewhat human. lol

  • In a way, she sort of looks like Gwyneth Paltrow.

  • She is so beautiful here.

  • interesting to see her before the nose was done. she almost looks like Betty Hutton

  • This one needs a love button. She is my idol!

  • AS if anyone needs proof, Carol, a living legend, shows her ad-lib, quick talking and singing skills, charm and incredible talents... again. Only about 6-weeks until her documentary debut in Palm Springs! Nobody has more diverse artistic talent. Sing, dance, acting, comedy, stage...etc. Number one!

  • Just as adorable as she is today

  • @ragemanchoo82 barely even then - even just this sort of programming. hot dam there is SO MUCH charisma in that room, holy smokes. perry como was the best man, so understated the way he sung

  • I miss Perry Como. Why don't they build voices like that anymore in the US? Seems like the only rich voices that actually enunciate are coming out of Europe these days.

  • Absolutely delightful. Carol Channing is unique, that's for sure!
