The world should be thankful that he survived the holocaust and experienced not only his talent as a gifted pianist and gifted man of comedy who was able to know how to make people laugh not at a joke but life. Robert Merrill was an excellent vocalist and seeing them both together brought back to me wonderful memories.
Victor Borge was a gifted and brilliant pianist. He could have easily stuck to the well worn path of performing as a concert pianist but, thankfully, he chose to add humour to his music and made it accessible to millions more. His wonderfully expressive face and great delivery and timing - plus his creativity- capped it off and kept us laughing. My father was a gifted pianist and Victor Borge was his favourite performer. I’m thankful he was able to see him perform in person. 🎹
I really consider it a shame that young cell phone handicapped 'whatever' generations are not aware of Victor Borge's classical music. After so many years I keep finding things he did. They are funny and inspiring.
He Was Incredible. I sang at his synagogue many times and we got to know each other a bit. He came to me after the High Holy Days and complimented me on my singing. He figured out by my name that I Wasn't Jewish and he kidded around with me about that. In fact I was trained by a Cantor to sing in Hebrew. Bob said something to me that I will never forget. I understood exactly what he meant when he said that my singing was Excellent, and very moving. He told me that my singing had heart and meaning and that I sang as though I carried the 4000 years of Jewish persecution in my soul. ! I will never forget him. He also joked with me and I with him about singing the US National Anthem....he famously forgot the words once, I think at Yankee Stadium. I also was called upon to sing the National Anthem at many ceremonies on Long Island. He would ask me if I forgot the words yet? Great memories!
Thankyou so much for a good laugh, this was priceless humour, why oh why can’t somebody do something similar, no smut, no bal language, just clean, innocent humour, but oh so funny, thankyou Victor, for hears of laughs! Australia
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Sono stupito e profondamente emozionato! Ho tante opere liriche cantate dal grandissimo Robert Merrill, ma non ho mai avuto il piacere di vedere questo cantante! Ora, grazie a questo video, so come era! Fantastico! Voce incredibile. Addirittura più coinvolgente che nelle registrazioni discografiche!!! Grazie per questo preziosissimo documento ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Sorry guys, there are no more leafs they used to be once. ..either Autumns we used to know...but Star Trek episodes are back, you can date Vulcanians Romulans and Klingons as well all across the universe next to Borgetons and Merrillians as well, think about it, the music is just perfect, who is willing to copy these great guys at all? Feeling fine together is never enough guys think about it
If you told me the Robert Merrill was Robert DiNiro's brother, I might believe you, except that Merrill never used filthy language to describe people with whom he disagreed, politically. Merrill never knowingly gave offense. DiNiro does not care who he offends.
