In 1960 Gisele MacKenzie was promoting her new concert album, Gisele MacKenzie in Person at the Empire Room of the Waldorf-Astoria, on Perry Como's show. Here Perry introduces Miss MacKenzie by singing a few bars of the theme from her 1958 NBC-TV series, and what follows is a breath-taking performance of a lovely folks song! With perfect pitch this classically trained, dark-eyed Canadian beauty could handle any type of muisc, along with comedy...and was among the most popular, talented and gifted of all the wonderful singers that filled our lives with fine music in the 1950's and 1960's.
The title says it all, breath-taking. I've been a fan of Gisele MacKenzie ever since I was a little kid. Thanks for sharing :D

The Waldorf-Astoria album is quite something still, a very sophisticated and witty club act with lots of special material and a stunning performance of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." Which follows a very funny opening number.

I'm not that big of a fan of Gisele MacKenzie; but I have to say that she just hit this one out of the ballpark! Thanks for posting.
