Variety Club All-Star TV Party for Lucille Ball 12/9/84-PT 2 Ken Bertwell 

You've never gonna see a group of stars like this again. Not in a million years.

We lost her just five years after this tribute, but 30 years later we're still in L❤VE with Lucy. That's called true legacy, and she will never be duplicated.

That was Royalty, the tables were full of class, Sammy, Frank, Dionne, no trash Kardashians, or the new royalty of Jay Zallo crew, no almost stabbing in the elevator here, just true class people

"The sun never sets on Lucille Ball" how true those words. I Love Lucy 💖

Wow...even Cary Grant attended this tribute. I love all the Lucy shows. These stars have contributed much to the health and sciences for humankind.

Oh my... Sammy Davis made me cry, his message to her is so true. Spot on true. We saw her incredible inner beauty the entire time.

Her husband, such a kind soul, you can see how much he loved her.

When people dressed with class and deference to others. Now it's all about "me"

I can't imagine being in the same room with all those stars, how exciting!

I cried while watching this. Cried for the way our world used to be. We were so lucky to grow up and watch these stars, they had true talent. You will never see a crowd of stars like this again. I loved Lucy, I always will.

WOW! Sammy Davis Jr's speech was really moving!

Sammy was so eloquent, wasn't he? This was awesome!😀

This was what you call class. Everyone of those people were class acts. True legends. True humanitarians. Each one of those people had more class in their pinkie than all of Hollywood combined.

She would be gone in four years, four months. So wonderful for all that they did this tribute.

A time when we had REAL entertainers!!!

Lucy spoke so eloquently!!! And Sammy Davis Jr, who could follow that!

The way Lucy looked at babies singing to her 😢❤

Sammy nailed it!

A Time when... Celebrities were SO CLASSY, WELL SPOKEN, & ARTICULATE. It is VERY OBVIOUS especially with MR. SAMMY DAVIS JR.'s Touching Speech.

Sammy Davis' comments made me cry! All these years later...she did so much, and no one knew. Gary Morton was such a gentleman.

She is so beautiful and I'm crying watching her children singing to her. She was such a wonderfully proud mother.

And on another note, I'm proud to say, that I was a tremendous fan of Sammy Davis Jr, always, but he deserves more recognition, for he was one of the earths greatest wonders

I was driving around Bevery Hills one day in 1963 in an old car be darned if I didn't see Lucy walking her dog! I hollared Hi Lucy! She hollard Hi there! I was thrilled! I didn't stop because I wanted to respect her privecy.

I had the honor and privilege of getting her autograph during intermission at a play starring Carol Burnett and Dick Van Dyke in 1977. I knew at the time it was a gift at 17. And it remains by far the best gift of my life to this day. And I still love you Lucy ❤...

I love Lucy is one of the best shows on TV, but what do you expect from such talent ?? BTW, look at all of the talent under one roof - there'll never be such talented people as all of the ones in that room .... RIP Lucy 💔

The sun never sets on Lucille Ball. Thanks a lot for downloading this memorable evening once upon a time.

Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart, Gloria Stewart, Marvin Davis, Barbara Davis, Loni Anderson, Burt Reynolds, Gary Morton all at one table-now a table like that will never again be seen in the history of this world. Lucy still teaches us though she passed away many years ago that innocent clean humor, and class and being a good mother transcend all the gutter celebrities you see today who stoop to obscenities, trashy sex, drugs and false charity. You may be gone dear Lady but you are definitely not forgotten. Truly one of the worlds greatest class acts.

What a wonderful tribute by Sammy Davis Jr. Look at all the stars in the audience!!! Lucy truly appreciated her friendships and relationships. ❤

Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Sammy Davis, Jimmy Stewart, Joan Collins, Sofia Loren, etc. What a guest list truly more stars than there were in the heavens.

I smiled and cried through this whole tribute ❤❤

Boy you sure can here some of Desi, Sr.’s voice in Desi, Jr. !!!!!!!

I'm blown away by all of the legends and stars I saw attending.

God Sammy that was so touching it was absolutely true I miss you both

WOW, Sammy Davis Jr. is a CLASS ACT! Thank You Sammy for that BEAUTIFUL speech! We LOVE LUCY & we LOVE SAMMY! ❤️❤️

Wow! Sean Connery and his Wife; Jimmy Stewart: Sinatra and Barbara; Burt Reynolds; Sammy Davis. Terrific group!

This was on December 9,1984 and I was born early morning of December 10, 1984 ...I just love lucy!

i love what sammy davis says. he truly captured all

Watching this, during the Covid 19 lockdown, makes me miss the good old days. So many of these wonderful people are gone now, tis sad. Life is so delicate.

What an absolutely beautiful tribute to a woman that I've adored all my life. Her humor is my guide in some of the darkest days. Thank you God for Lucy. WE ALL LOVE LUCY!

How fitting that her daughter is pregnant for this tribute.

At 10:34 when she bites her lip to keep from crying as her kids are singing to her... just beautiful. Gets me every time.

Sammy Davis said it all. Wow!

There will NEVER be another Lucy ❤

December 9th is my birthday. I was 31 yrs old when I saw this tribute to Lucy back in 1984!

No teleprompter!!!!!!...all sincere heartfelt verbal expressions.

So many stars who have passed 💔

I loved Sammy...he went through hell all his life. Rest In Peace My Brother. Thanks for the Kiss. Always, Archie Bunker

I feel that meeting Gary was what Ms Ball needed to show her the Appreciation as a Mother,. Wife and Humanitarian the Lovely Human Being that she is,.. and Sammy Davis Jr,..was terrific... This is Humanity, this is a Room of Celebrity. Thanks for sharing the Video...

This was so wonderful. I spotted so many talented people who have left us since this was recorded. Jimmy Stewart, Burt Reynolds and of course Lucy really hit me in the heart. Thank you for taking the time to post this. ❤

“The sun never sets on Lucille Ball. “ ❤️❤️

Lucille Ball will ALWAYS hold a place in history that will NEVER be held by anyone-else! How tragic that only 4 years after this honor-gathering, she slipped-away from us, forever. May she... REST IN ETERNAL PEACE!

A well-planned, beautiful, and moving tribute to the comedic legend of all time. Yes, I still love Lucy!

I go to sleep with the tv channel on Hallmark so the I Love Lucy show wakes me up. Still Laugh Out Loud at her. She's So Natural!!

All the true great people of Hollywood. So many gone but not forgoten.

Lucille Ball was the only "celebrity" I ever wanted to meet. Never got to, but if I did I wish I could've said the things that Sammy Davis said. Perfect! So glad SOMEONE did and in front of everyone. I grew up with an extremely abusive mother and Lucy was an escape with laughter during my childhood. She truly was a gift from God.

The fact her children were singing to her must have made her so proud ❤️🧡❤️

there should be a DVD box set with all of the Lucille Ball tribute specials from the '70s & '80s, there's at least half a dozen, I am sure her fans would love to get this

We never stopped loving Lucille Ball , her beauty is matched by her comedic talent . I cried when she died.Her shows are iconic

Sammy really put perspective to Lucy’s contribution that for a few moments their worries are put aside - can one person contribute more ? I don’t think so.

Takes me back when I was a kid, seeing all these stars. Today everyone thinks they are a star, with their smartphones and RU-vid, waiting for their silver and gold plaque awards from RU-vid to come in the mail. I miss the days when the world was simple and people had respect and cared for one another.

Lucy will always be the greatest comedienne of all time❤ Thank you so very much for sharing this true treasure❤

When I was a kid, Lucy was the one person of all people that I wanted to meet. And I’ll never forget that sunny spring day in April when my grandmother told me she’d died. I was just a 14 year old kid at the time, and I sat alone in the carport and cried. I truly did LOVE Lucy, and I still do. I now have a 12 year old daughter and I love to see her loving Lucy as much as I do. My heart still hurts when I think about her being gone, but I know someday God will introduce us. I Miss You Lucy. ❤️🥲❤️🥲

I'm glad I stumbled upon this! She is a legend and I adore her. She always makes me smile.

This is GOLD!!!

desi was her true love

What a lovely tribute for Lucille Ball, and to see all these wonderful stars who are no longer here was so great. I just loved being able to watch this wonderful tribute to a wonderful true stare.

Thank you for the laughs and humanity that you gave to us all. I thank the Lord for choosing you to share your joy of life 🙏. I was born in time that I remember and enjoyed your special spirit. How lucky am I

Lucy was the one star that got all the rewards she deserved while she was still alive. We love you always Lucy.

It's genuinely amazing to think that Desi and Lucy invented an entire new art form right out of thin air!!!

What a wonderful tribute to one of the most talented ladies in showbiz! It really moved me that she was a big supporter for people with diabetes, being a diabetic myself, I thank her for all her support and contributions! ❤

Truly Golden Hollywood. Lucy's husband looked totally hungover. Back then everyone drank and smoked.

Hi,This was Wonderful to see😁Sammy Was Right She is Still Loved & Shows continue to be watched!🤗🐽✌❤,Sheryl

A wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady. Words from Sammy Davis were amazing. Oh, how he expressed the sentiments of so many people. She truly helped many of us get through very difficult times.

Everyone in show business was there. Even Nelson Riddle. Wow!

There's always something special in the air when someone says "I will never forget" and they truly mean it. You can feel it rippling across space and time, and I wonder if they're still thinking about it long after they've gone to the next world.

She more than deserved this. This kinda show started tributes while the great stars were alive Nd not at their funerals.

Awww , that made me cry too . She definitely deserved that !! I loved how her husband and her children sharing their love for her !! It's so good to hear them speak about God blessing and prayers . I wish our country would get back to that again . There was so much more decency and respect for one another back then . I'm so glad someone shared this on RU-vid . Thank you !!

Just found this. What a beautiful tribute.

I was born in the late 1960s until this day I still watch I Love Lucy and I would watch it every time they showed it on TV. Where I live they currently show it at the wee hours of the morning. I ordered and bought her DVD collection of I Love Lucy. I miss them very much!❤ They no longer make movies like they used to. Her husband Gary was so good to her they were married 28 years. Always funny... Lucy was a gift to us ALL!❤😢❤

Once upon a time when Hollywood had class and dignity

What a magical event. I grew up watching Lucy. My Great Grandma loved her so much. Every time I stayed with her, we'd always watch I Love Lucy or the Lucy Show and I can hear my Grandma's laughter now. I had a very rough childhood, but those visits with my Grandma were the best and fondest memories I have from those years... Both she and Lucille Ball passed away in 1989, but I will always love Lucy. In fact, I love Lucille Ball now more so in my adult years than ever before. I watch the old episodes with a heavy heart because Lucy will always remind me of my Great Grandmother, Luella. Thank you so much for sharing this truly beautiful tribute. No one will ever come close to comparing to Lucille Ball and there will never be another like her. If only we could go back in time to that Golden era in Hollywood... RIP Lucille Ball, you magnificent soul. I will always cherish you. 🌹

Lucille Ball and all these People in this room, A True Legends Real Icons, I will Always Love Lucille Ball Thank you for sharing your Talent to the World Today we Only Have the Memories that all this Talent left us Today We Will Never See Talent and Icons like this Today

Only 5 years left on this earth she had then. Accept all in all what a long remarkable extraordinary gifted full good life she really did have. I love to see events such as this for her with her friendd and loved one's. I think it's quite obvious that Gary loved her very much, and she him. I believe they were happy together as he provided for her not only love, but an overall sense of comfort benevolence and "trust" in her life that she so needed. However, there was always still that tinge of sadness we see, no matter how well she tried to mask it. 20 years was a long time to be married to a man who was, I believe, her true life and love. Who gave her two wonderful beautiful children who turned out pretty darn good and made her proud. I was recently reading a old Reader Magazine interview with Marcella Rabwin of Gone with the Wind fame. She was a very close lifelong friend of Lucille Ball's. She stated Desi did love Lucy very much, and vice versa. But said that Desi drank too much too often, was over sexed, had a too often public penchant for chorus girls and whores and embarrassing scenes which was the source of many heated arguments, frustrations and humiliation to Lucy. But she wound always forgive him in the end, most likely in the name of their young children. But Marcella said it was very sad, because they did love one another, that he just couldn't seem to help it all. King Alcohol destroys people. I myself have seen it be the worst of worst, over and over, in so many ways. Tears whole families apart! But it all came to The End when one day Lucy came home to find Desi in bed with some other, in their home in Beverly Hills. That was her final straw. And the rest is history. But I don't believe for a min that they ever completely got over one another. And Gary understood, as I'm sure did Edith, Desi's wife.

This is so wonderful! Thank you for posting!

Thank you so much for sharing this truly amazing night captured on film. "I love Lucy"

A lot of my long time favorites. Thanks so much for sharing.

Desi Arnaz, Sr. and his wife Edie were friendly with Lucy and Gary...too bad they weren't there..

Never again will there be a group of people like this again class and talent and so much more. I’m so glad I grew up with a lot of the stars 🌟 in this room Thank you Lucy for the memories 🥰❤️😘

It us amazing how Desi Jr's singing voice like his father's.

This needs to be shown to the world especially for the younger people who never knew her or really cared to want to know her! This is 1984 when this country and this world and people were much better than now and had respect for decent people like Lucille Ball!!!!!

Little Desi all grown up. So touching and so sweet. And little Lucy. Wonderful.

Aww so sweet when Lucy was coming off the stage and Gary came get here. Such a sweet gesture

Wow.... Eloquently said Mr. Davis!

This brought me to complete tears . Sammy Davis Jr. You said it all... ❤I LOVE LUCY .

Wonderful awesome fantastic great loving memories ♡♡♡

You can’t miss when you find out what you should be doing and you’re great at it, you just can’t miss. GREATNESS has its rewards.

Always beautiful!

She was chosen to make us laugh and smile when life was raining down on us. We Love You and Will Always Love You, Lucy ❤

Wow, what a show. I wish my mother was alive to see this. My mother was a fan of Lucy and everybody else in this show as well. This group was in my parents generation.....

Beautiful. I know she is delighting with our Lord now.
