This is awesome. Not many videos from the later years on Youtube.  She is just so fierce. I would have given anything to be able to hear her live. All time FAVORITE singer! Can't be beat. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for your interest Ms Hayes. I have more video from the 1980s and 1990s, and will try to upload further Rosemary Clooney clips in time. Meanwhile, as you enjoy her later work, take a look at the youtube contributions from SwingCla - which include Rosie concert appearances with Benny Goodman (in New York) and with Les Brown (in Japan).

I love Nelson's sax riff at 0.36, awesome!

What a great voice. Kind of a different rendition.

This is probably my favorite Clooney/Riddle track and there was still enough voice left at this point that she still sounded like the old Rosie and could reach the notes. RIP Rosie..

I would much rather hear her at this stage of life.

Maturity has given her voice a life lived sound. The bumps, the scrapes and even the heart break.
