How many great singers give praise to their piers...not many. Very humble from this great vocalist who has played a big part in popular music thro' the decades. God bless her
Saw Rosie in concert four times, having met her in an elevator once in Chicago. In addition to her impeccable phrasing and right-on pitch and great personality, she had the most beautiful eyes and smile. RIP Rosie.
It's hard to believe how good this woman was...her album "Do You Miss New York?" is a masterpiece of American music. The warmth and joy coming through in her singing was irreplaceable.
This is Rosemary Clooney at her absolute best! What a musician! The arrangement of the medley is excellent and the trumpet section near the end is thrilling. I love it when, after those terrific trumpet blasts Rosemary Clooney takes the tune home.
Absolutely fabulous, she nailed you turned the tables on me - probably the swingingist ever version I've ever heard. she is in fine voice here. Outstanding.
I playing that video of Rosemary clooney for my Dad while i looked after him .he wasxa musican with his siblings .they all have passed now the music has died the end of a era
They say this concert took place at her 58. Outstanding, amazing no words to define her intact voice and vitality, her beauty. I stayed wanting more of her art. Thx to SwingCla
What class! I met her at one of her performances here in Dallas. She came over to our table and sat with us and talked for quite awhile. She was such a delight, with a beautiful smile and beautiful soul!
Marvelous performance of Miss Clooney with the Benny Goodman Orchestra here. No one has pointed out that for her set, her long time musical director/pianist/arranger John Oddo is leading the orchestra. I just love this.
Rosie could sing just about anything...........so,so talented. I am so sorry she didn't stick around a lot longer. I've got almost everything she ever recorded...........great stuff too. Love you Rosie.
Rosie pays tribute to some great lady singers but she should have included herself in the pantheon. Rosie could swing. Her phrasing was impeccable and her husky, honey tinged voice immediately recognizable. Sheer genius!!
Martha tilton was the greatest because I remember singing the song Angels sing I miss all this music to it's tough to get old that's all you have is memories left
I worked on this PBS show which was a tribute to Benny Goodman. Peggy Lee was supposed to originally do this segment, but she backed out at the last minute. Rosemary Clooney agreed to appear and the segment was refashioned as a tribute to the Goodman "girl" singers. Thanks for uploading this video.
Love this! Nothing better than Big Band Music and great singing! I was a little girl when this music was popular. I thank my parents for watching Lawrence Welk, Ed Sullivan and all those great shows so that I could appreciate and love REAL musicians and Great Voices.
Wish this whole concert was available. I remember seeing it when it aired on PBS in '85. I was born in 1960 and this was more my parents' music, but I always loved big band and swing. This was a helluva show with Benny still wailing on that licorice stick at the age of 77. During this show, in addition to Rosie, Benny performed with people like Louis Belson and Red Norvo and, if memory serves, Frank Sinatra also made an appearance. Rosie added so much to Jazz and Swing and made some great albums on the Concord label with saxophonist Scott Hamilton in the 1980's and '90's.
Rosemary Clooney is very underrated. In my opinion she was a better performer than the more famous Peggy Lee. Even at the end of her career, note Rosemary's outstanding stage presence and how much warmth there was in her voice.
She left us in 2002..... That was a very long time after this show. I last saw her with George Clooney in an episode of E. R. !!! Somewhere in the mid to late '90's. And as far as I know, that was the last time She sang......... !!!!!!!! And was..... wonderful.......
As much as my mama and tete argued about music, they always made peace with Rosemary Clooney singing... She was a Great singer. Thank you, Rosemary. My children listen to you and my grandchildren gratefully welcome hearing you after all the different singers that we listen to over a family get together. Rosemary is a blessing in our lives.
I just loved Rosie's rendition of these songs. I have been looking for them on DVD and have yet to find them there. My poor VHS recording of the show does not do them justice. Thanks for posting them.

Ah. Channel 9 in st. Louis Missouri, just had a program of 50's music, dedicated in Memory of Rosemary Clooney. She was 74 when she died. She's Georg Clooney's aunt. He even admitted he was sometimes a pain in the neck. Micheline Kribs,Rolla,MO

Goodman had a lot of other superior singers but he went through them so fast Rosemary couldn't pay tribute to them all. Too bad she had to leave out Helen Forrest, though.
