pass this inspirational performance on, we need this now more than ever!!
Welcome! These musical clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital. There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy.

Who is better than peter
His voice is soo tangable and sincere
No One will ever sing this song better than Peter Allen!❤
Agreed....but Barry Manilow has been doing an awesome version on his latest tour
As an ordinary Australian, a heterosexual baby boomer, this man means more to me than you could ever imagine. Thank you Peter for your talent and torment. Time IS a traveller, hugs mate.
As an Englishman born after Peter died, he means a lot to me as well.
He will never be matched. Best wishes mate.
Ah, when they had musical guests on late night talk shows with talent!
Really? No talent has existed in 40 years? Enjoy your 10 records. Why do folks like you say crap like this? Sorry your eyes closed.
I am totally over the moon watch and listening to this. Of course, knowing Peter Allen's story only magnifies how poignant this song is, and this performance you really feel his raw emotion. Peter was an incredible talent, the likes we usually only see once in a generation. Of course, he traqically died way too young, but his legacy will live on forever. Oh how I would have loved to have known him personally.
I spent some time with Peter when he was separating from Liza, 1974 or 5. We had several conversations over Piper at Reno Sweeneys while he was performing there. I will always treasure the experience. Randall
@@randallho1 I have just come across Peter on Sunday night, and his spirit went down in me.. I am a songwriter, taking the long road to get my songs out there, and his spirit is lifting me now as I write... I sing acapella but got musicians for my album.. it is a long story but I got two world class jazz composers on my album ... love & blessings to you Randall... Annie
one of the most underrated song writers of his time....i saw him 3 times....in person
So many of the songs Peter wrote, like this one, are timeless. He was a great songwriter not just a great performer.
real talent, real presence, a complicated man who had complicated emotional range that fed into extraordinary performance. A truly gifted artist.
Gome far too soon. This is literally my favorite song of all time ❤️❤️❤️
Peter Allen is the very best. I saw him at Radio City Music Hall in 1981. He was fabulous!
What a joy to see and hear the late Peter Allen. Love this song. Best version ever.
Oh, I love this song. Sinatra would have OWNED this song, it's totally his late career vibe. And I can *hear* him singing it. The range and arrangement was beyond what he could deliver by the time it was written. He did sing other Peter Allen songs.
Patti Labelle sang this on Carson too. For her - a beautiful and somewhat controlled performance. She really knew how to rework a ballad and imbue it with soul and drama.
Peter Allen performed this song for his partner when he was sick, and in his memory after he died in 1984. I had no idea Peter had that kind of emotive voice and such an expansive range and dynamics. It's a beautiful performance here. He's inspired, for sure. Vulnerable AND a showman.
This was played during the tribute to Alex Trebek, I have loved this forever, and Peter Allen made it more special
Actually, they played the Hugh Jackman version
a brilliant performer and even fantastic songwriter gone too soon
Jeopardy should have definitely played Peter Allen's version of this song. What in the world were they thinking!? Hugh Jackman, nor anyone else for that matter, can hold a candle to the one and only Peter Allen. There can be no imitators.
Very true. Peter is absolutely a one off.
@@aurtherbrunt241 Love your comment:)
What a special joy to see this video. What a treasure he was. Lucky to have seen him him in the 60's when I lived in Australia.
Peter Allen wrote this specifically for Ann-Margret who was his best friend.
Who was Ann-Margret? Was she a singer and what is the connection between the words of the song and her and Peter Allen?
@@artistjoh Ann-Margret was a singer and dancer, but a much better actress. She did a lot of live performance - but it was bad Vegas kind of singing. Search UA-cam for Ann-Margret sings Bye Bye Birdie on Ed Sullivan and be prepared to......have some kind of reaction, ha.
I think he wrote this in memory of his lifelong lover and partner, Greg Connell.
@@artistjoh Pauline Kael once said of Ann-Margret: "She does most of her acting inside her mouth.”
@@artistjohAnn-Margaret is a fabulous dancer and singer, married to Roger Smith of 77 Sunset Strip. She was Kim in the movie of Bye Bye Birdie, Tommy's mother in the Who's rock opera Tommy, starred with Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel in Carnal Knowledge, and with Elvis Presley in Viva Las Vegas (she was his girlfriend at the time).
Saw 2x in NYC, Radio City & Carnegie Hall. Truly one of the most over the top, exciting entertainers that gave and left everything on the stage. Few to this day could compare!
After last episode of Alex Trebek on Jeopardy, immediately went to youtube to see Peter Allen sing this song! Thank you for the
posting! Allen was one of the most dynamic, expressive stage performers! Saw him atRadio City and Carnegie Hall - unmatched!!
It was so sad hearing this song during Trebek’s last episode. Let us sulk in the pain together.
They played the Hugh Jackman version for the Trebek tribute.

I'm just discovering his songs I'd never heard of him but one of his songs you and me
is at the end of irreconcilable differences which is a brilliant movie almost no ones seen
but I recommend it to anyone who loves Peter Allen
Love him just so sad he went before his time ❤😂❤😂
Had a chance to see him in 1982 at the now long since gone "Valley Forge Music Fair". It wss a theater in the round. What an unbelievable showman! One more reason to love Judy Garland
RIP Peter Allen and Alex Trebek
Don Lane also. He performed a memorable cover of it for his final show
By the time he did his last performance, he should have known that he had only little more time I mean he was ready to be passing. Sad though I want to give him my special thanks for the beautiful pieces of music. His soul still alive.
Happy heavenly birthday Peter ❤
Love love love this song!!
Beautiful Swan Song!!
Saw Peter At Melbourne Hilton. Brilliant!
Thank you Peter!
he was so amazing and talented
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard..
This song will always give me the chills 😊❤
Love the key change at the end!
natural
unfettered
This is wonderful one of the best of peter thank you for sharing
Just saw him in Season2 episode 1 of Miami Vice 1985. He had a small part but caught my attention. So here I am learning who he is!
Gorgeous song very sad lyrics 😢
Thank you so much for digitizing this clip. The sound quality is AMAZING! Peter was such an incredible talent and is dearly missed. This song always breaks my heart. Thanks again and bless you for your efforts to rescue these clips!
Fantastic.
Wow! Thanks for this rare clip. I knew Peter had done the Tonight Show when Joan Rivers was guest host, but never knew he done the show with Carson. I'd love to see the whole segment, talking with Johnny.
I LOVE that song and I loved singing Peter Allen at Radio City Music Hall. WHAT A SHOW!
What a magnificent talent.Bless
RIP Alex Trebek, Jeopardy is not the same without you
Great soul for performing RIP mr Pete 😇🙏
Peter Allen sucked
This is very pretty.
R.I.P. Peter and Alex Trebek (this song was in his tribute) you both will be very much so missed by many people. So long, Alex!
Brilliant.
Miss him so much rip
Theres never gonna be another one
WOW!
This is long before my time. This man was such talent just discovered him a year or so ago. Definitely not cool but talent is above that.
I respectfully disagree with your comment “definitely not cool”. Peter Allen was one of the more talented entertainers I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. He communicated with his audience during every concert and we loved it. This is my favorite song of his. I miss him and his cool terribly.
A FAN WAS ASKING ABOUT BARRY SINGING THIS….PETER AND BARRY WERE FRIENDS AND I THINK WROTE SONGS TOGETHER…BUT NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE…😮
The boy was a genie ouse
The most beautiful cover was done by a fellow crew Teresa Bastings in 1989 aboard the Sovereign of the Seas while sailing to Labadee.
Wow
The boy from oz :)
An Australian with a Louisiana drawl? Amazingly, it works.
Like you can.ts could keep up withh me or Peter
Exactly when did he appear on the Tonight Show singing this emotionally charged performance? Was it late 1980's or early 1990???
be fuckin..g hard pressed nd to find a better singer in any realm
`CVAll him gay. But call him an artist
