Dinah Shore Show 2 grandes del jazz en concierto memorable. Temas de la canción: "Memphis Blues" and "St. Louis Blues," by W. C(William Christopher ) Handy. y "Blues in the Night" by Harold Arlen & Johnny Mercer.
This performance showed that Dinah was really great. Ella's voice didn't overshadowed Dinah's. Dinah was a fine princess, and Ella was The Queen. There will not be another Ella.
Feel cheated that they never recorded an album together. I think Dinah was kind of underrated Of course nobody can be better than Miss Ella but nobody sounded better with her than Dinah Shore. They seemed to elevate each other ( if that’s possible) You can tell how much Dinah Shore enjoyed singing with Ella Fitzgerald and I think Ella enjoyed it as well. Two of the greats
Man, I wish Ella and Dinah would have recorded an album together. They were so great together and seemed to enjoy performing together. They seemed to elevate each other ( if that’s possible)
This was just over-the-top ridiculous!!! Dinah definitely dug deep to make this just an amazing performance for her idol here, I always find myself coming back to watch this, just fantastic WOW!! I never knew how awesome Dinah Shore was and I've always been a huge Ella fan, she was one of the greatest of all time😮
Shore was criticized for featuring black artists when these shows were produced and aired. She stuck to her guns and chose to feature amazing artists. Now these performances are a pivotal part of the shaping America's pop culture. And she amplified black artists who are beloved by people around the world to this day. Her critics died bitter racists who used their prejudice as justification to deny themselves amazing performances and music.
And sad to say that pattern continues to this day. People are truly blinded by race. Sad. Don't matter if the artist is pink and purple red, it's the gift that matters.
There was a story that went around back then.....early sixties....that Dinah was part black but passing. I heard it several times but nothing I've read since supports that. Not sure where it even came from but it was said back then.
@@Chicanaloca The original comment was about Dinah. Then the comment below that said "She was a band singer." Ella was not mentioned, so I thought "she" was Dinah.
Dinah Shore is amazingly talented, her voice had something else to it in my opinion, that her other caucasian female comtemporaries voices lacked & she could sing with the best black singers & not be left behind. I'm impressed by that & never bored watching her, she was/ is special, watching/ listening to her makes me happy for some reason.❤
Ella never sang a bad song. Good singers of that area all wanted to sing with Ella. Ella sang with soul. Performers that deliver from their soul are rare. This is a God given event.
The fact that this iconic clip has roughly 100,000 hits while an autotuned manufactured piece of pop has over 100 million hits says much about our changing musical tastes.
@@rickrick5041 I meant to say the opposite of what I wrote. I shouldn't say things online after my blood pressure meds kick in. My doctors think that if I am awake, then my BP is too high.
Christian Patriot BP is usually less when you are sleeping. I hope your meds help you. What you said was interesting because some of us including me prefer music from the past but many think today’s music is better.
Dinah Shore was a major TV star in the late 50s and early 60s for those who don't know. Then she had a talk show I guess in the 1970s and did a lot for the women's movement at that point and for the LPGA, the women's pro golf tour. All that being said she was a big band singer from the 40s - nice lady, attractive, but in my opinion one with a small voice. Long story LONGER... Dinah was a good pop singer. To sing with Ella Fitzgerald took a lot of guts. This is a complicated duet, unlike anything today's singers would attempt. Ella, a genius, actually becomes a backup singer for Dinah here in certain spots like she is part of the band. But Dinah soars here. I'm not a fan of Dinah but these videos, such as this one, shows that when she sings with greats like Ella and Sinatra, she can not only keep up for soar with them. Great video. Great jazzy blues video. Thanks!
They were so great together, clearly loved singing together. Ella without question top dog of all, but Dinah was one of few who was right there with her. We used to wait to see them together................
Ella the Queen of Jazz singing with a relaxed and classy Dinah Shore.No tickets bought will bring them back.Miss the Dinah show.We can still listen..Thanks for posting!
Dinah's cheerful TV personality and personal life partially eclipsed her fame as a major recording artist, but time (and internet access) has led to a reassessment. I would never call Dinah underrated, but too little credit is given to what a sophisticated musician she was. I think because she made it look so easy and rarely strained to sing, people took for granted the incredibly difficult arrangements she was 'effortlessly' pulling off every week for years. I mean, she's singing every harmony line in this insanely brilliant blues medley with Ella. Just great!
So true and so well said. I was just a kid and only caught bits and pieces of her and other singing powerhouses of her generation.I'm amazed at this piece. I've watched the duet with Pearl Bailey doing Mack the knife about 50 times. I've fallen in love with Pearl, by the way. Again the singing, the voices are marvelous. But the humour, the collaboration, the warmth, the mutual admiration, and their love of singing blows me away. At the end of the day, I miss Dinah, I miss Pearl, and I miss the kind of magic they can create with unparalleled talent like Ella. Its watching human beings at their best.
This is still the greatest. The vocals are wonderful and watching the interaction between the two really makes it out-of-this-world! The two truly seem to enjoy each other. Dinah seems to almost "feed" of Ella's talent and really belts out. Much fun to watch!
This entire video consists of one, single camera shot. The camera focuses on Dina and Ella, in one shot, that lasts for more than 5 minutes and 50 seconds. To me, that speaks to the talent of the two ladies.
I've seen this clip at least 100 times and each time I'm still amazed at the amount of talent. Two beautiful women singing and having fun doing it. No vulgarity. No sleaze. No egos. Just pure talent. And, it's almost six minutes of straight singing!!! Not 40 takes spliced together. Plus, I love the placement of Dinah's broach. :)
I am surprised. I knew that Dinah Shore could sing but she actually sounds pretty good singing along side the greatest voice to ever record JAZZ MUSIC, The Queen Ms. ELLA FITZGERALD. Great Performance.
Bryan Merit, Yes she did hold her own. I wonder why they cut the part out where Dinah was saying that Ella Fitzgerald was her mom's idol. But, they sure sounded like they were having a good time together.
+Alice Snow esta cinta con otras del show de Dinah era de mi abuela estaba en un desván con otras reliquias musicales muy deteriodada traté de recuperarla en su totalidad pero no pude por eso está cortada al final
so much skill - so much fun - their voices were surprisingly similar - and dinah's easy blending with ella testifies to her (arguably underrated) talent
I said it before . . . there was no special stage setting . . . no dancers . . . no cut aways . . . just two ladies who knew their craft, and knew it well. Now THIS is talent.
My father was a music teacher. He used to say that his favorite duet was Ella and Dinah, they did several, I'm not sure if it was this one but he raved about it for the rest of his life.
Dinah's TV program was live. Done every week. Not like today's TV. I was a kid when her program ran. Television was never better. The Dinah Shore Show was the one night every week when I could see fabulous acts like this. As far as I'm concerned Dinah Shore is a national treasure.
I hope this video is never removed. It is such an upper, that I listen to to it weekly. We will never see talent like Ella again and Dinah was wonderful.
Most remarkable is that marvelous performances like this were presented regularly on network TV. The 70's especially were a golden age of musical entertainment; we just didn't realize it at the time.
Simply OUTSTANDING! The level of class and talent on display here is off the charts. I remember growing up in the 70's and watching Dinah. They are both missed.
they were able to have variety shows back then because there were real talents out there. today we have music videos in which we can detect the talent of the film editor but certainly not of the performer, and we have reality shows, in which talent, good taste or anything remotely engaging are all in short supply.
One ounce of something like this is worth more than a ton of most current perfomers. Professionalism in singing and with superb accompaniment like this is RARE. 5 stars, and then some.
An absolutely gorgeous pairing of Dinah and frequent guest Ella Fitzgerald. The blues medley is wonderful- especially the harmonic convergence at the end. Work it, ladies!!
No wonder that rumor spread for so many years that Dinah had one black parent. She had that magical bell-like voice. She's just a musical southern girl who grew up singing gospel and jazz. Perfect pairing with Ella. No wonder they loved singing together so much.
THIS (!!!) is why I love RU-vid. Where else can you see showbiz icons of yesteryear giving a master class in entertaining? Now I'm off to watch Mahalia Jackon on the Johnny Cash Show. Thanks for uploading this!
You can find on the intenet a four C.D. set of everything Dinah recorded for Capital records, well worth getting because that label freed her from the ho-hum material she often dealt with at RCA (which also did not hold a candle to Capitol's album covers). Two of the albums pair her divinely with Andre Previn.
I think this could be the best of female duets ever. Truly spirited, engaging, and entertaining. What it must have been like to see this live... Thanks for posting.
I use to watch the Dinah shore show with my Mom when I was just a kid. I got hooked that's where I heard Ella Sarah all of them and when I heard Billie Holiday not on that show but some where way before Lady sings the blues I was totally hooked. So few are the talented today. I wish the old stars made the money a lot of these no talents make today.
This is so great. No auto-tune, just real voices. I believe I missed a great era of music. They change the down beat at 2:40. This takes work guys and the arrangement no words. And then when you think it's done they do it again. Double time. Great drummer and band, who are these guys? God I miss real music.
This is unbelieveable. It doesn't get much better than this folks. Two amazing voices and talents, the likes of which we'll never see again...at least performances like this survive.
Sometime in the pas two or three years I got lost in the town where Dinah Shore grew up in Tennessee. Was her original name Stein? I know her father was Jewish and that either he or Dinah anglicized it. He owned a large variety store. I was trying to take a shortcut from I-24 over to I-65. It was all two lane roads. I don't know how she got to and from Nashville to sing in nightclubs or to go to school at Vanderbilt. It wasn't far from Nashville if you had a private jet. But that was then. Most people only know her from her TV days and Chevrolet, but she had an incredible string of hits in the 40s -- blues and jazz. She was one of the first singers to break away from the big band mold, in which the singer was just one of many soloists. She went off on her own. Starting in big bands is a good way to learn to appreciate musicians, and as we all know was Frank Sinatra's background. Musicians loved to play with him, and later behind him.
Who are the three greatest female singers of all time? Answer... Ella, Ella and Ella. Nobody came within a mile of her, she had no equal and never will.
