Most definitely. I remember as a little girl watching The Bob Hope Christmas special with my mom every year. The closest thing anymore is Michael Buble’s Christmas Special but there’s not dancing like before.
Yes, if those critics only saw what we have now for entertainment.😢 Danny Kaye was great and no matter how many times I’ve seen the “Court Jester” I crack up laughing. “White Christmas” holds a special place in my heart as well. I’m only in my 40’s but well remember the days of the Bob Hope specials on TV, fun, wholesome family shows like Carol Burnette, The Muppets, the wonderful Christmas and patriotic shows that were on. When I was in college I sang in “Rosemary Clooney’s White Christmas Show.” She was the last living main cast member of “White Christmas” and there really was a sadness about that. She spoke of each of her starring cast members and as I look back, it really was an end of an era.
Danny Kaye was a phenomenal talent! He never attempted to draw attention away from costars, he complimented them. That way everyone was brilliant. His ego wasn't ever an issue. I ceased watching TV years ago, too much garbage. I much prefer it when people have manners, dress decently, respect themselves and others, speak in sentences that are easily understood and behave in a way that makes you even more proud to be a fan. Our world could certainly benefit from more respect for self and others, dignity, compassion and grace.
My Dad would hire Harry for “The Boulevard” supper club in Queens in the 50’s, and sing Day-O with him! I met Harry in Manhattan later on when I grew up. He was walking home on the upper west side of NYC. He’s so gracious, generous, and loved that we escorted him home totally entertained by just listening to him. He loved it. I wish I knew my Dad hired him back in the day. He would have loved reminiscing about that time. What an amazing talent. I love them all in this video. Danny Kaye so amazing! Lucille gave some much as a comic! And Louis!! Wow! Those were times to be born in. Not the overly tech world it is now and getting more robotic. I’m sure Harry found ppl walking down the streets of Manhattan glued to their phones quite odd. I’m sure barely anyone noticed him being fixed to their phones, missing out on these amazing souls passing them by. Love them all… 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I remember being 8 years old the first time i saw him. After that, I could never get enough. I loved him like a family member. I used to imagine that he was an uncle of mine and one day he would come home and we would sing and dance all day, every day. He was the bright light in the darkness of my childhood. RIP Danny, you were loved by so many people that you never even met
I thought I was the only one who felt like that! I used to imagine he would arrive at my door some day and take me with him. I just wanted so badly to be his child. His warmth and kindness radiated right through the TV screen and made me feel loved and protected. I'm in my 70's and I still tear up remembering how much he meant to me.
A true master of physical comedy, uninhibited (yet controlled) dancing. Great singer, performer and actor. Chef, pilot, humanitarian. They truly do not make them like this anymore.
Loved Harry Belafonte. Both these men were amazing dancers ❤ Then Lucille Ball and Danny Kaye, O my goodness! Memories! O for the good old days when fun was fun! Then the cherry in the top was Louis Armstrong ❤❤❤❤❤❤ That brought a smile to my face. Brilliant
Absolutely wonderful My smile never left my face ☺️ Now that's entertainment When the world was still so good I'm 54 and this was just what the doctor ordered!!
Special memories growing up watching Danny Kaye with my dad. He never got the credit he really deserved for all his talent! I dont know many that could do the tongue twisters like him. He sang, danced and acted beautifully, and seeing biographies about him being insecure makes you wonder why? He was amazing! I always thought he was a good looking guy, yet they critisized his features. I thought in his height he was an elegant dancer, and his voice was just as good as the rest. Today's actors can't even do half of what the old "vaudeville" types could do. So sad to see that era go. I think it's time for a comeback of those talents. The humor was outstanding.
I always thought Lucille Ball was highly influenced and practically mimicking Danny Kayes act , and was later pleasantly surprised when I learned that she starred in shows with Danny Kaye. She really loved him, and apparently Danny Kaye loved Lucille Ball too. ❤️🕊️☮️
I totally loved all of these great performers. Harry Belafonte, Lucille Ball, Louie Armstrong and the amazing Danny Kay. Wish we had this style back again.
I’m jealous. Although I wasn’t exposed to anything of my era until I was a teenager. I grew up with all the greats from the 30s to 70s. I had a cassette player in my room and my own bunch of cassettes my parents copied from their own or from their LPs and one of them was Danny Kaye the Hans Christian Andersen soundtrack. I loved that one so much. I also had tommy Steele and Doris day just to name a couple more. I did get into modern music, movies and entertainment as a teen and up until my early 30s but I then reverted back to the good stuff.
The Danny Kaye TV Variety Show in the 1960s was one of the delights of my life. My favorite skit was when he portrayed a RCMP officer named "Toronto Tom".
A nice way to honor the memory of Harry Belafonte. Danny Kaye is one of my all-time favorites. In the Goldan Age of Hollywood and TV, performers traded on their personalities, not their "brand". The audience felt that they knew the performer, and could trust them -- that even if the performer went to the edge (here Danny does "black" which would be "cancelled" today), it was a journey together with the audience, and everybody would come back down ok.
Danny and Louis, two of America's greatest entertainers. I recall as a child seeing Kaye on the stage in Chicago. He had the audience singing with him his signature response song. Good times!
❤ Even though Danny Kaye was never known as a jazz singer it is when I heard him sing the inchworm in the film that is stuck with me that I took my inspiration for that song that’s stuck with me for the rest of my life so that every time I sang it, I thought of him I thought he gave it real life
I had a huge crush on Danny Kate as a girl. He was so talented. I remember I never missed any of his TV shows, and watching his movies was a bonus. My crush on Danny was so huge that I married a red-headed man.
As a Child Danny Kaye gave me reason to question what I was told music was. I still to this day love Danny Kaye & carry the brilliance he indirectly taught me as a child.
I just adore Danny Kaye…not only did he have a beautiful singing voice, but he was one of the funniest guys of his time!!! In fact, he costars with Bing Crosby in my all-time favorite movie…”White Christmas”!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful actor, singer, and humanitarian (his work with UNICEF and other children's organizations was phenomenal!). It's still hard to believe that he's gone - R.I.P. Mr. Kaye.
@@anaamaro70 Not true. He had a very successful second career - he was a brilliant cook and an expert on Asian food. He may well have been lonely however, because in his later years in became extremely unpleasant.
It has been forgotten now how popular he was in England. The Royal family turned up unannounced to see him and were given seats in the front row of the stalls.
Danny and Harry: Momma Got a Boo Boo - superlative! It was a family favourite. Danny brought peace into an otherwise dysfunctional household just because we all loved him. And Harry Belafonte too. What a magical twosome.
Thank you for making this delightful video, entertainment today can't hold a candle to these fine people. Danny Kaye, Dean Martin, Jackie Gleason, Red Skelton - all wonderful family shows. So nice to be able to see them again and reminisce.
Danny Kaye is an outright giant! Modest, smart and level headed. My old man met him one and have said he was very courteous and warm to his fans as well. He will forever remain a shining star in the heavens of culture because when he lived, he was down to earth.
I grew up with ALL of them! Such amazing talents! We have lost them all. Though we have movie stars today, the glitz ,glamour and sophistication of yesterday is gone forever.
i have and always will love and Adore Danny Kaye,. was...is one of my all time fave actors,, comedians and all around great human,,.. miss this type of comedy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
THANK YOU for uploading this. Such a delightful 15 minutes with some of the truly great entertainers of the 20th Century. Sweet, innocent fun - not an obscene word, not even a suggestion of anything you could not have your youngest children see. Family entertainment. Thank you.
I grew up with Danny Kaye and Lucille Ball, both such talented comedians and beloved of so many. Danny Kaye was incredible with with tongue twisters, singing and dancing. I listened to his records over and over again to the point that I could sing them along with him, as a child. He looked like my maternal grandfther so I loved Danny even more.
Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye! How lucky the world is to have a glimpse of two great Talents together from years past, so they can see what real and true Talent is over and above the"talent" manufactured" in this day and age, whose entertainment life and be measured in days, weeks or even months, depending on what "social media" thinks. I get misty watching Satchmo, and I'm proud to admit it. He is one of several people whom I never tire of watching anywhere and doing anything, right alongside The Nicholas Brothers and Cab Calloway to mention two of many more, including Harry Belafonte, whom the world lost only days ago. Thank you so much for posting even a few minutes of true entertainment!
For those of us that grew up with Danny Kaye around, this is a must see. For the rest, well... I hope you enjoy this at least half as much as I did... don't wanna break anything ha ha.
Danny Kaye was my hero since I was a kid. The Chester, Mr. Mitty and also his unbelievable musical talent. I wish I could have meet him. He was is and will be outstandingly brilliant.
Jan 2020 been watching since before god lol. I’m 65, and watched every pioneer in the industry. The 50’s were exciting when Tv exploded and most all had a little black n white the entire family watched. Our pioneers were incredible and no movies will EVER hold a candle to these greats! They’ll have to surpass them. Danny was supremely talented in his dancing singing and acting but my fave was Hans Christian Anderson because he really loved and treasured that role, as he said in an interview back then. Treasured pioneer!!! 🙏🏻❤️
I have collected almost 200 movies over the last 10 years just so I can watch without commercial interruptions. I regret not filling my library with more of his works. It is my thinking that Clint Eastwood was to Westerns,. Danny Kaye was to comedy and musicals
There never will be another Danny Kaye. He was simply talented in everything. A true Renaissance Man. Rare & always a total treat to view. Dancing & his endless imitations were unique especially today. Nothing like him since.
wow thank you!!!! now i want to see more of Danny Kaye! I grew up with him on the tv, in the movies and on my parents' stereo! One song i particularily remember is "Bloop Bleep" about a drippy faucet in the middle of the night. I think he might have also done a version of "I'm my own grandpa" but maybe it was someone else?
I had such a crush on Danny Kay, I must've been about 6/7ish. I remember clearly when it was announced that he had passed away, I was at work, in my mid 20's, and it just hit me so hard that I went to a room with no one there and sat and cried. He gave us wonderful memories.
The days of multi-talented performers are, sadly, long gone. Put Danny Kaye and Sammy Davis Jr. on a stage or screen, and kick back--they could do it all.
I am not disagreeing with you, but I do think it might be more a matter of the proper material not being written/composed as an avenue for the multi-talented. For instance, Lucille Ball's bit made me think of Cindy Lauper. Off the top-of-my-head others, include: Michael Jackson (lost too early, but still of this generation) had serious acting skills; Hugh Jackman; Neil Patrick Harris, etc. You do raise an issue dear to my old-fashioned heart. We should encourage networks to continue to bring back musicals! There have been a few recently ("The Sound of Music,"* "Peter Pan," and "Grease"* were some of them), on network t.v., and they seemed to have been surprisingly popular. The big-screen version of Les Miserables (sp?) helped to begin the resurgence. Let's keep our fingers crossed. *I am not endorsing these examples as being better than the originals. Simply glad that their re-introductions may help to inspire the younger generations and boost the appreciation of -- and a "demand" for -- multi-talented performers.
There are still multi-talented people. Less is asked of them now. Justin Timberlake and sing, act, dance, Bruno Mars can do the same..there are others, but the past generation was the best.
Real talent, having fun and entertaining like we will never see again. Danny could do it all and with grace. Add Louis, Lucy and Harry and you've got a classic.
Thank you so much Buzz Stephens for posting this incredible 15 minutes with the most talented entertainer we have ever seen - Daniel David Kaminsky - he has no peers. I have just laughed until I cried watching him with Harry Belafonte, then seeing the incredible Lucille Ball with him eating at the French restaurant and topped off with Satchmo - unparalleled pieces all of them. I have bookmarked your post so I can watch whenever I need a "feel good" moment. I'm sure my cats think I have finally gone crazy - laughing out loud at this as I watched it all by myself. What a joy - thanks again !!!

The sad thing is there aren't performers like this or variety shows like this anymore.
In those days the standard was so high. Today’s audience different mentality , everyone in the street is a singer. Now sadley music is a joke.
Most definitely. I remember as a little girl watching The Bob Hope Christmas special with my mom every year. The closest thing anymore is Michael Buble’s Christmas Special but there’s not dancing like before.
Because after awhile they saturated tv with them and viewers grew tired.
The really sad thing as well, is how the critics at the time tore them up. They were so good!
Yes, if those critics only saw what we have now for entertainment.😢
Danny Kaye was great and no matter how many times I’ve seen the “Court Jester” I crack up laughing. “White Christmas” holds a special place in my heart as well.

And he wasn’t prejudiced

What a delightful twosome. Danny and a Young Harry Belafonte. Adorable! They are so fun together!! Love them both! 💜

I agree! Wish I had met him too!
@@lindamaloney1651 Me too ,his film Five Pennies ,oh my goodness, I remember trying to hide my tears from my mum ,while watching it.
I felt the same way about him! I was around 8 year's old!
Couldn't help but smile. Elegance in comedy.
A true master of physical comedy, uninhibited (yet controlled) dancing. Great singer, performer and actor. Chef, pilot, humanitarian. They truly do not make them like this anymore.
Don’t forget baseball team owner!
As a little girl I wanted to marry Danny Kaye! I loved his very witty children's songs.
@@sandraderoubaix734 Me too!
My best friend was his personal assistant for many year, then his wife, Sylvia’s, then their daughter’s.
@@evamatej694Amazing 🤩😍
Man, Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye were hilarious! Kaye did a fabulous impersonation of Armstrong, and they played off each other so well.
Hello how are you doing?
Harry Belafonte.
@@sharonlanteri2537Louis shows up at about 10 minutes in. :)
Gesundheit!
Loved Harry Belafonte. Both these men were amazing dancers ❤
Then Lucille Ball and Danny Kaye, O my goodness! Memories! O for the good old days when fun was fun!
Then the cherry in the top was Louis Armstrong ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That brought a smile to my face. Brilliant
Absolutely wonderful
My smile never left my face ☺️
Now that's entertainment
When the world was still so good
I'm 54 and this was just what the doctor ordered!!
God, Danny was such a planetary talent, and Louis was an immortal legend. Time to dig out the Danny Kaye movies....
I may only be 45, but, I absolutely adore Danny Kaye! He was just so precious! 😘
You can tell that he was born an actor. Super talented. Those were the days of the golden age.
Special memories growing up watching Danny Kaye with my dad. He never got the credit he really deserved for all his talent! I dont know many that could do the tongue twisters like him. He sang, danced and acted beautifully, and seeing biographies about him being insecure makes you wonder why? He was amazing!

Yes ... I agree! Danny Kaye was the king of Scatting!
I've always loved Danny Kaye and all his movies. I'm such an old soul and performers of this era are so missed!
I was born too late. I remember loving Danny's shows, but I can't remember specific details. I just know that I've always loved him!
I always like Danny Kay and I miss those variety shows of the 60s and 70s
His, Carol Burnette, and Ed Sullivan.
I always thought Lucille Ball was highly influenced and practically mimicking Danny Kayes act , and was later pleasantly surprised when I learned that she starred in shows with Danny Kaye. She really loved him, and apparently Danny Kaye loved Lucille Ball too. ❤️🕊️☮️
Agree. I can also see his influence on Dick Van Dyke.
Ginger love ;O))
Lucille's own character always shone through. She played a zany character in her shows with Desi. So sad when they split up.
I totally loved all of these great performers. Harry Belafonte, Lucille Ball, Louie Armstrong and the amazing Danny Kay. Wish we had this style back again.
The skit with Lucille Ball is a classic! They gelled together!
Danny Kaye was much more than an actor...singer, dancer, mime, friend and a wonderful cook!
I simply love Danny Kaye and Louis Armstrong. Such great talents, we certainly don't have talent like this today!!!!!!!!
I am so happy to be born in a time when people had true talent. Not talentless influencers.
We were so blessed growing up when we did. Poor kids now - they have no idea what real talent is!!
I was not born then, but I still appreciate and enjoy everything from the last century 😊
I’m jealous. Although I wasn’t exposed to anything of my era until I was a teenager. I grew up with all the greats from the 30s to 70s. I had a cassette player in my room and my own bunch of cassettes my parents copied from their own or from their LPs and one of them was Danny Kaye the Hans Christian Andersen soundtrack. I loved that one so much. I also had tommy Steele and Doris day just to name a couple more. I did get into modern music, movies and entertainment as a teen and up until my early 30s but I then reverted back to the good stuff.
I can still us sitting around the tv as a family, with this playing for everyone, no matter what age. Miss those days!
Me too. I was born 1952.
Its my first time seeing these two amazing artists individually, perform together. I don't think you could ever get a better comedic couple.
I had forgotten what a sweet smile he had. One of the finest human beings to ever grace this planet. And him and Harry omg...
yesss!!! harry and danny , heavenly coupling...
Yes!
Danny Kaye is one of the most underrated entertainers in the industry. He was so incredibly talented!
Loved Danny Kaye! One of the best entertainers of our time!
The Danny Kaye TV Variety Show in the 1960s was one of the delights of my life. My favorite skit was when he portrayed a RCMP officer named "Toronto Tom".

Lo😊😅
He’s not really doing black … he’s doing Louis Armstrong! That’s a unique accent.
There wasn't anything Danny Kaye did not excel at. Acting, dancing, humour, singing, you name it and he could do it.
I beg to differ, Danny Kaye didn't excel at not being awesome! :)
RACmixM, Your right, he did not excel a
Totally agree. He puts a smile on my face. Such a talented person

My favorite part is when he and Lucille Ball get drunk on the wine in the salad dressing.
I have collected almost 200 movies over the last 10 years just so I can watch without commercial interruptions. I regret not filling my library with more of his works. It is my thinking that Clint Eastwood was to Westerns,. Danny Kaye was to comedy and musicals
Danny and Harry - brilliant!
Danny Kaye was a Seriously underrated talented performer. Brilliant comedic timing and expression: singing dancing, acting- he had it all. ⭐️
Harry Belafonte was so handsome! And they had such good sympathy together! ❤
Danny Kaye and Louis Armstrong segment amazing.
I loved watching Danny Kaye as a child.
So sad to have lost Harry Belafonte. Never was anyone like Danny Kaye.
There never will be another Danny Kaye. He was simply talented in everything. A true Renaissance Man. Rare & always a total treat to view. Dancing & his endless imitations were unique especially today. Nothing like him since.
wow thank you!!!! now i want to see more of Danny Kaye! I grew up with him on the tv, in the movies and on my parents' stereo! One song i particularily remember is "Bloop Bleep" about a drippy faucet in the middle of the night. I think he might have also done a version of "I'm my own grandpa" but maybe it was someone else?
Wonderful! I realise how much I miss Danny Kaye, and mr Belafonte will be missed too!
I absolutely adore Danny Kaye. He was so much fun. I never turn down the opportunity to watch him clowning around. Or singing, acting. He was great
I had such a crush on Danny Kay, I must've been about 6/7ish. I remember clearly when it was announced that he had passed away, I was at work, in my mid 20's, and it just hit me so hard that I went to a room with no one there and sat and cried. He gave us wonderful memories.
Love danny Kay. His guests were great. Love Louie Armstrong. ❤️
I have loved that man since I was a little girl ❤ He was truly a star. A shiny bright star!!
The days of multi-talented performers are, sadly, long gone. Put Danny Kaye and Sammy Davis Jr. on a stage or screen, and kick back--they could do it all.
I am not disagreeing with you, but I do think it might be more a matter of the proper material not being written/composed as an avenue for the multi-talented. For instance, Lucille Ball's bit made me think of Cindy Lauper. Off the top-of-my-head others, include: Michael Jackson (lost too early, but still of this generation) had serious acting skills; Hugh Jackman; Neil Patrick Harris, etc.
You do raise an issue dear to my old-fashioned heart. We should encourage networks to continue to bring back musicals! There have been a few recently ("The Sound of Music,"* "Peter Pan," and "Grease"* were some of them), on network t.v., and they seemed to have been surprisingly popular. The big-screen version of Les Miserables (sp?) helped to begin the resurgence. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
*I am not endorsing these examples as being better than the originals. Simply glad that their re-introductions may help to inspire the younger generations and boost the appreciation of -- and a "demand" for -- multi-talented performers.
There are still multi-talented people. Less is asked of them now. Justin Timberlake and sing, act, dance, Bruno Mars can do the same..there are others, but the past generation was the best.
Not gone, just the industry doesn't care much for them anymore. It's all about social media over substance now.
Danny has always been one of my favs! Thank you for posting this video! He’s always a pleasure to see.
Real talent, having fun and entertaining like we will never see again. Danny could do it all and with grace. Add Louis, Lucy and Harry and you've got a classic.
❤❤❤❤❤
Talent only gets you so far. Danny was a hard worker to get his routines right, I thought.
And Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald as well. They were on his show at one time or another, too.
Thank you so much Buzz Stephens for posting this incredible 15 minutes with the most talented entertainer we have ever seen - Daniel David Kaminsky - he has no peers. I have just laughed until I cried watching him with Harry Belafonte, then seeing the incredible Lucille Ball with him eating at the French restaurant and topped off with Satchmo - unparalleled pieces all of them. I have bookmarked your post so I can watch whenever I need a "feel good" moment. I'm sure my cats think I have finally gone crazy - laughing out loud at this as I watched it all by myself. What a joy - thanks again !!!
