- This is a completely unique rendition of the classic broadway song, The Impossible Dream. This song means so much to so many around the world. You can make things happen if you believe in yourself also that if you can dream it - you can do it. You will love this version. Our team at Firstvision filmed this project. The Smothers Brothers have been performing for years. They had their own TV show in the 60s and entertained around the world.

It never ceases to amaze me that after all these years, these guys still sound the same and are as sharp as ever.
Rest In Peace Tommy 😢
I’ll always remember the time we saw the Smothers Brothers perform at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel.
“Dream the Impossible Dream” has always been one of my favorite songs!! 😢
I remember watching the Smothers Brothers in the 60's. I dedicate this to Tommy. RIP my friend. Now you know the secret.😉😎💖
Tommy must have that peaceful & calm heart. So sad we lost you, but you will never be forgotten Mr. YoYo man.
American's dreams are one vote away from being lost.
Trump 2024. Biden has proven how the wrong votes ruined a country
Those brothers were so fantastic.
Such talent, they did it all. Music, humor, and cutting edge political satire. There is nothing today that compares to this.
You are so very right! 👍
Needed now🥰🤔🧐
Talent like this doesn't happen often. These guys are legends.
We loved the Smothers Brothers ❤
I was so depressed when these guys stopped touring - American Icons!
2 of the funniest most talented guys ever!!
I'm a professional musician, when I was younger in the 80s. Dick Smothers happened into a local casino I was performing at in Las Vegas. He was very nice and told me how much he enjoyed my performance and gave me encouragement to keep going with my career. I think the Smothers brothers are awesome!
I heard the same FABULOUS thing where Andy Kaufman waited in line to see Elvis. When he got to him Andy said "Someday I'm going to be as great and as famous as you" and Elvis said, "You know, I believe you will".... See also Smothers Brothers - 02 - Quando Caliente El Sol
What great story. That must have been wonderful being encouraged like that. In college I performed at Birdland in NY and Count Basie came to the gig. I must tell you, he had nothing to say about me \(-_-)/
They took on the War Machine, and are still fighting them. My hat is off to their accomplishments.
This Song is appropriate for these times in America Can't help to bring a laugh to your day
These two are incredible!
I was just a bit too young to appreciate their humor, but man on man, I am getting it now! Oddly the same jokes, songs, politicians, etc., are the same now! Just replace the name from then to who it fits today!
Well said 👩
Don Quixote would be proud.
Never ever could anyone surpass their magnificence! I love you ,Tom and Dick!
Words of wisdom, 6 and a half years later. I so miss their TV show.
Just as brilliant as when I was eight years old, if not more so!
Truly a class act, and timeless.
We think of these guys as great comedians..trailblazers, musicians .and entertainers..but when you listen to the vocals their harmonies are spectacular..
We got to see the boys at a dinner theater in Dallas around 1983. It was a great experience for me, as a life-long fan of the SmoBros.
What harmony they had
I'm 65& I loved the skits of these two siblings one EXTROVERT and one Intervert
I love them, wish they still was on
This was my favorite song as a teenager.1970- now.
Comedians, Musicians, writers and sing so beautifully..so much talent.
I used to really like these guys for their humor. Now I also really, really appreciate their talent as musicians! If they would play their songs straight through, their versions would probably be my favorites!
love them both always
How can this piece seem so spontaneous, so ad libbed and yet have timing perfect and the singing great? They are that good.
Um...they weren't ad libbing. Troll.
@@loranelizabeth9148 duh
I actually forgot how funny these guys are. I laughed then. I'm laughing now.
One of their most inspiring performances.
Great song and video, thanks for sharing. My wife and I saw them perform at the Las Vegas Hilton back in the day.
Great memories!
How can so much talent be into just 2 people.. I love them!!!
This may very well have been the most unique act in entertainment history.
Dear TV Shows of Today: THIS is Entertainment, unlike most of the crap you put out!
you sure got that, I thought something was missing in this era.
I forgot what a range they had. Wow.
What a dissapointment !!! Just when I thought these guys were finally going to sing a complete song without interrupting it with their comedy... they did it again. And as always it was 1-derful !!! Haven't laughed this much in months, Thanks Smothers Brothers, you are great, truly unique, God Bless You !!!
Bendiciones desde San Juan PR !!!
There are some cuts on their albums where they sing songs straight. There is even a complete album.. it is called the obvious The Smothers Brothers Play It Straight. There is an album that is half comedy and half straight songs called The Two Sides of the Smothers Brothers. I haven't heard the first one. The second one uses an orchestra. I wish it was just the regular instruments.
@@brendalg4 Jajaja !!! Thank You my friend but I was just kidding about the disappontment thing, these guys are great doing what they do, 1-derful as singers, as musicians and as humorists. God Bless you !!!
@@luishumbertovega3900 I like their comedy but I wish they would have done more singing.
Very nice and relaxing song, thanks for posting this video.
I grew up in the 60’s, listening to them on records (not even CD’s in those days). Hilarious, I listened to those albums over and over again. This is way before they were on t.v. Thanks for posting this and brining back those memories
The love in Tommy's eyes at 7:20 as he watches his brother solo...says it all. The love of brothers.
LOL
How times change, it"s 2018 I"m over 70 and i wish i was 18 again.
George Burns is that you?!
True Classic..,the Smothers Brothers At The Purple Onion
Thank you for making our nation better.
I grew up watching the Smothers Brothers, but I forgot good they were. Thanks for sharing this!!
I always loved the Smothers brother's.. so very talented...miss them..
How blessed they were to have a sibling to create and share such beautiful harmonies!
Solid musicians, solid courage, solid comedy. SOLD! Keep give'n it!
Don Quixote is one of the greatest stories ever told. This song sums it up. Myself, I can't watch "The Man of La Mancha" without tearing up when he sings this song. The difference between what we are and what we could be. What's wrong with trying to make things better?
It's the music that holds it together Killler players
there will never be anyone like the smothers brothers.. great men
Agreed ..they are precious!
Amen! Truly brilliant, talented, gifted! Outstanding performers! I love them and miss them! I wish they could read all of these comments and replies and know how much they are sincerely loved and appreciated!
These guys are truly awesome.
... sure do miss these two wonderful, truthful brothers at this time in history...
They would love Donald Trump
In high school, a
Friend and I were the" slithers sisters". We dressed like washer women and had a ball...won a few contests. Still have all my albums, almost 60 years later.....
Ernie Kuhn When everybody else was quoting Cosby, I was all about Tommy & Dick. Okay, I MAY have memorized Coz's "Noah" routine.
FINE! I MEMORIZED NOAH. IT DIDN'T SEEM RAPEY AT THE TIME.
Sadie Hill you didn’t want to make it a career?
@@miriamjewett5438 Anyone with a brain loves Donald Trump !
Crying here. I miss the sixties.
The old saying is: "if you remember the '60s you weren't there".
@@gmoops8986 that is always a funny quote and still makes me chuckle. Truth be known, the 60s were the most unforgettable decade...at least it was for me and I was only 8 years old when it ended.
these guys had a great act and i really liked when they would do a ballad straight.
Lovely men. Today, yesterday, and tomorrow...
Thanks for all you did...
Two talented men who were loving brothers. We need more of this..
They 'are' loving brothers...
I based much of the comedy I started including in my act on an LP of the Smothers Brothers at the Purple Onion. It was years before TV arrived in South Africa, but I'm eternally grateful to these two intelligent comedy giants for staring me off with a style I would never have found without hearing them all those years ago.
Just brilliant.
I grew up listening to them on LP's- saw them several times live- always a time capsule trip back to my teenage years,,, !
I wish everyone could see this clip.
They are experts at pure silliness. Always lots of fun.
Yes, they are silly, but with a purpose. That is their schtick, and yes, much fun!
Not insultingly crass . . .
Oh My..how absolutely beautiful....Such heartbreaking harmony with this beautiful song..They fill my Heart with joy...So nice, so talented, so insightful. The message the Smothers Brothers believe in is strongly applicable to the issues evident around the world, right at this moment. Some of their fellow compatriots need to look at issues through their eyes..Thank you, Gilbert Howe..for this wonderful upload..Cheers. Marilyn from Australia...
Very nice and relaxing song, thanks for posting this video. My wife and I are listening to it in our backyard during this pandemic 2020.
Hope everyone is staying safe
They both are staying safe......they hope you are also... thank you for listening to them in your backyard.
@@sherrysmothers8208 Thank you 🙏 .
Still so relevant
Great talent never goes out of style! 😉
The question is not why The Smothers Brothers were cancelled, but who in the hell green lighted them. Mind you, I'm not complaining. This was a literal shining star of TV at a time when LBJ was actively working to kill me. All I had to do was reach the age of non-consent. Couldn't drink beer. Could be sacrificed in an impossible war. We had hope then because we didn't have a lot to look forwards to.
The golf call back was genius
Excellent job Gil and FirstVision Entertainment. Always remember, Mom Likes Me Best!
I hope that many golfers were inspired by this.
Nothing like them in 2022,
they were amazing
Pat Paulsen in 2020!
Sorry. Pat Paulsen has left the building, so to speak.
We should be so lucky
@@rondaleroi So? Lots of politicians have been elected posthumously.
These guys had a nice blend of political comment, humor, and splendid harmony, w/o foul-mouthed verbiage. A mix that is missing today.
So true thanks for your comment.
Mark D Yes Sir, Dream big, protect your dream and other's dream...
I disagree
For the Smothers Brothers, that would be the IMPOSSIBLE DREAM!
That was their exact message decades ago. They tried back then and got their asses kicked off the air because of "offensive content".
They did it with humor and terrific harmonies.
Entertainers should be able to express politics. As a lot of C&W performers do also. I don't rag on them, I am not offended.
So let the Smothers Brothers try to fulfill their own dream.
So true. A favorite comedy hour duo. Accomplished folk singers and musicians.
Over the many years since the 1960 s , i have followed the antics of The Smothers Brothers, mostly on TV. i believe we em as Tom says can follow and achieve the impossible concepts of The American Dream today in the Canadian arena. God knows we need to. Talk over the heads o f the states or provinces to the people of this great continent and to the world at large. and our hopes for our children will never die.
I quit watching TV in 1968 when I was 14. On UA-cam I'm catching up on some things that have been on TV in the past like Dick Cavett etc and remember stopping when passing the TV to hear some of the Smothers jokes and music and liked them a lot. Oh, Jefferson was a slave owner... Upwards of 15 million Native Americans died.
Such talent, especially now days measured
Good preaching! I love these guys!
Effing amazeballs
They broke the mold!
deeper philosophy than most politicians could uderstand. Good stuff.
We have lost the ability to laugh at ourselves !
We miss the sixties. Maybe even the seventies. But that's it.
this is my quest
Dickey has a beautiful voice and Tommy as well
Leigh Nilsen bbb
Cute presentation
i like it too.
Wow.. happy daze again
Cool, thanks :)
great !
I totally understand what Tommy was saying. But wait, maybe that was the beer talking to me. Either way, the song was good -- as is everything the Smothers Brothers do.
Boy, Are the criminals "who stole" our Country and control us, ever be held accountable for their crimes ?
What does this have to do with the Smothers Brothers?
And today , 7 FEBRUARY 2023 , The Dream appears to be crumbling faster than a
SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE 😢
I can't see these guys without thinking - Naked Bacon.
To be fair, the only person who really knows what Naked Bacon look like is Kyra Sedgwick.
If any dream any of you may have, was easy, would you really want it?
Cool then,cool now
Great song! Hello type in "Ron Howard Cover" listen to Opie sing "the Dance"! To all of us who have lost loved ones life goes "that fast" and we will see them again "that soon"!
💋❤💕💞
Would love to hear what they’d say about trump.
Americanbear1 I don't know why you hate 20-year-old material & America. (I'm kidding, of course... It's maybe 19-year-old material)
William Bravo Hate? What makes you say that? I’ve found that people comment using what they feel themselves. Are you even old enough to remember these geniuses?

Where are the smother bothers now?
Still around. On Colbert in the past year, I believe.

UH YA
