From 1956, Perry is joined by Martha Davis and Calvin Ponder, whose musical comedy act, "Martha Davis & Spouse," enjoyed great popularity in the late 1940s and 1950s. Sadly, Davis -- an immensely talented pianist -- died just four years after this performance at the age of 42 from cancer.
The song "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" was written in 1935 by Fred E. Ahlert and Joe Young.

I actually start to tear up when I watch this knowing that we'll never see this kind of class and talent again.

@brucekarriem2681 2 года назад

I tear up as well. It hurts. I take it personally because at my age of 64yo I'd never heard of martha davis and she's so wonderful. Man what a time. It seems she had a goid spouse too. Cool dude. Glad I discovered Martha now

So true

Did you notice while she plays, Martha rarely even looks at the keyboard!- Such talent!

Priceless. ❤

Martha Davis was a gifted comedienne and pianist. Sorry to lose such a gift at a young age.

So true,, she was dead from Cancer just 4 years after this broadcast.

And from what I have read,Perry was one of the "clean" guys in the entertainment business,no fooling around and messing up his life like so many others.

@xanthia9536 4 года назад

You are right.And one of the most talented but underrated one.

@mikrif2767 3 года назад

What an unbelievable talent Martha is. Voice, piano, humor. There won't be any of her likes again so these sketches are so valuable.

AT 82 0h what a gem Istumbled on!! I only knew Pierino , But I fell for whole TRIO!!! SOOO FINE!!!!

@miltonmcmahan185 4 года назад

64 years ago and i still can picture what a smooth entertainer Perry Como was. Could you ever be so lucky as to have him cut your hair.

@liamdonovan1309 7 лет назад

I am from the 21st century......I wish I was born a few decades earlier because then I may have had the chance to see this beautiful music in person! This is pure talent....not the stuff I have grown up with.

@deborahkelly1489 5 лет назад

Ha, ! I am from 20th century and said the same thing . But isn't it great we have technology that will allow us to enjoy things we weren't around for .?

@marlonmerz9850 4 года назад

Then maybe we should make something worth growing up with. Allways looking back to the past makes progress slow, and can make the present look worse, which it definitley isnt

@zeusincoming282 4 года назад

Thats why I appreciate that people taped these performances.

@unclebillmusic 3 года назад

@@marlonmerz9850 I disagree with looking back to the past makes progress slow. We are supposed to learn from the past and the improve what we did. That's how you make progress ! The present (now) is worse and better !! The shows and the music worth growing up with are ALL from the past !!! I am glad they were part of life !!!

@barryjacobs8524 3 года назад

I'm in love with Martha Davis! Why did I never hear of her. I just discovered her and she so reflected Fats Waller. What a gift!(I hope to steal a riff or two) Perry Como lived in Tequesta, Florida. I knew an officer who responded when his wife passed as I worked in the same town. Now they are together again ❤ They're probably in the cemetery off of County Line Road.

@moniquethomas3610 4 года назад

Gorgeous talent. And tragic, as was the legend of so many of her time. Lost her just four years later.

She does indeed. I was amazed because I never heard of martha and spouse. However she is beautiful soulful and wonderful. That fantastic woman left at 44yo in 1961. She gave joy to so many
