  • I defy anyone to name a performer anywhere near as talented as the incomparable Marilyn Michaels. She could do ANY woman's voice and add just the proper degree of subtle elements in dead-on impersonations, plus sing exactly like the greatest chanteuses of the age. An incredible talent. No one has come close to her talent in almost 50 years. An absolute genius of a performer.

  • Marilyn Michaels set the bar for all female impressionists for years to come - she has a superb singing voice - and a vast range of characters - we didn't get her in the UK. Ckeck out her other vids

  • aha! that's where craig russell got his idea of the "out of control arms".

  • why did women on tv in those days have huge arms even though they were otherwise thin?

  • Marilyn's performance in the KopyKats show with Gershwin, singing "Rockabye Your Baby" , one doing Garland the other Jolson is one of the highlights of TV iI ever remember.

  • she nails barbra's mannerisms from the 60's!! and i'm the biggest babs fan out there, and i just find it hysterical!

  • Talented she is -- but her Garland really is WEAK!

  • Get a feeling Mis Michaels didn't need to do these impressions. Had she found her own voice she could have been a star in her own right. Quite a set of chops on her!!!!

  • 1964?!!? How far back does she go?? I'm utterly astonished!

  • Here Striesand is good, too....ironically, she played Fanny Brice in the national tour of "Funny Girl"

  • even the best impressionist cannot duplicate Judy's voice but she was dead on with all the impressions.

  • Do you think so? How could anyone not know who Connie is?
