I am almost 80 years old and remember this show with fondness as a grade school kid with my beloved Aunt Tess . We watched Ed Sullivan faithfully. Different times and days when a kid and AUnt enjoyed TV together.
I am 52 1/2 and found one of the Great Ms.Sophie Tuckers' albums in a little thrift store! Loved it! Was about 18 then. My Grandparrents influenced me much...They were also two of my very best friends and I miss them still every day of my life!
Oh my, this is wonderful. I saw Sophie Tucker when I was 8 at The Royal Variety show. She was my Grandma's favourite. My Mother at 87 has Alzheimer's but when I put on I remember it well she could sing it word perfect. She remembers little now but the sight and sound of these two for a magical moment brought her back her life.
So wonderful to see these two charming scene stealers giving and taking from each other. Sophie lets Chevalier be the extrovert while she very wisely holds back. Wonderful chemistry.
It's wonderful when you see two really brilliant performers performing together. When it's the only time they appeared together, it's truly a special moment.
@@aileen9553 You my dear,do not have the charm,or wit of Ms. Sophie Tucker... I can cuss like a sailor at the right time,but you- sincerely have a very brutal case of unprofessional behaviour for a random comment! Wow! You'll be remembered for something...Hope it won't be your nasty comments in this life!😉🐴🤠
I remember it well! Two immortal talents sharing a sweet duet. 💞 . At age 9, I requested and received a personally autographed photo from Sophie. Many years later, while ill, the photo disappeared. A couple of years later, it appeared on Ebay, in the original frame in my own city. Talk about miracles ✨. Of course I once again treasure it, until 🎵 Some of these days 🎶some people 🎵 MAY miss 🎶ME! 🎵
Just fantastic. The power of character and personality combine to make a stage presence that is beyond entertaining to watch. That goes for both of these wonderful performers.
This is why I like youtube! I never heard of Sophie Tucker even though I am no youngster myself! She could belt out the tunes! Reminds me of Adele these days! She was awesome!
Apart from the touching singers of a bygone era, please listen hard to the orchestra--jamming like nothing you've ever heard soon after 8:00. Turn up the volume, frighten your neighbors! It's incredibly thrilling! And Sullivan's initial reaction, smiling broadly, arms outstretched and shaking his head with awe and amazement--this is the music he grew up hearing with some added muscle! Compare to his stony-faced reaction to most acts.
Just wonderful from the old and much more Lovely days of old. Thanks for this so much!! I was 11 years old and my mother and I always watched Ed Sullivan!
When Ed Sullivan pays such accolades to his performers as to bring them back to have the audience, "bring the roof down...." you KNOW you have seen something VERY special!
A pair of entertainers the likes of which will never be seen again. Long lasting stars from vaudeville, movies, radio, TV. Fantastic that they are on tape. Classic.
What a Great War Hero this man was,, he fought for our freedom, served two years in a prison camp. He is one great hero and a wonderful person and wow what a great singer. Today your walking the golden streets with our lord.
Maurice Chevalier was a great talent, and this was one of his signature songs (arguably THE song of the later part of his career). It's always enjoyable to hear him sing it. It's just too bad Sophie Tucker didn't respect him, and the song, enough to bother to learn the lyrics to it.
I remember when i heard on the news Maurice had died. It made me so sad, i actually cried. My mom would sing Sophie's I'm the last of the red Hot Mommas. and some of her other songs.Talent like this is hard to find nowadays.
1958. I was born. Lest we remember. Lest we forget. Named after Maurice Chevalier. Let us not forget the Rythme of The Rain. Mimi....you good for nothing Mimi am I the guy.....?!!!
They cut a sequence of the song, so Sophie Tucker got the lyrics wrong. He says, "That brilliant sky.." She replies, "There was none that night..." when the line is, "We had rain." She took a line from the next stanza. Here are the correct lyrics: HONORE: We met at nine We met at eight HONOR?: I was on time No, you were late HONORE: Ah yes, I remember it well. We dined with friends We dined alone. HONORE: A tenor sang A baritone. HONORE: I remember it well. ***That dazzling April moon! ***There was none that night. ***And the month was June HONORE: ***That's right, that's right. It warms my heart To know that you Remember still The way you do HONORE: Ah yes, I remember it well. How often I've thought of that Friday-- Monday-- HONORE: Night, when we had our last rendezvous And somehow I foolishly wondered if you might By some chance be thinkin' of it too That carriage ride You walked me home HONORE: You lost a glove I lost a comb HONORE: Ah yes, I remember it well. ***That brilliant sky! ***We had some rain HONORE: ***Those Russian songs ***From sunny Spain? HONORE: Ah yes, I remember it well. You wore a gown of gold I was all in blue HONORE: Am I getting old? Oh no, not you! How strong you were How young and gay A prince of love In every way HONORE: Ah yes, I remember it well.

Sophie messed up a lyric: "That brilliant sky" should be followed with "We had some rain", not "There was none that night." "We had some rain" is meant to rhyme with "From sunny Spain?"

Sophie hold back? That must have been the only time. These two are among the all-time show-business greats.
It's wonderful when you see two really brilliant performers performing together.
When it's the only time they appeared together, it's truly a special moment.
How beautiful just found this made me cry so classic
Totally awesome.....missing entertainment like this today.

This is one of the most charming, endearing, funny, poetic and warm performances I have ever seen.
Gosh... and I was only 2 years old!? What great performers! Brings tears to my eyes to see two masters at their craft!
This is called professionalism. No beating it!
Sat here with a silly grin on my face. Magical stuff from Maurice and Sophie
Simply charming.. Pure class from an era in entertainment we're not likely to see again. Loved it.

This song always gives me goosebumps. Wonderful.

Legends. This was so beautiful.

Gorgeous Spirits and Personalities. So much Talent. Always giving and present in their performances.
Very touching. We don’t have entertainment like this today . Class act too !
Maurice and Sophie CLASS talent from the golden era of star power.
A pair of entertainers the likes of which will never be seen again. Long lasting stars from vaudeville, movies, radio, TV.
Fantastic that they are on tape.
Classic.
Fabulous! And so much time allotted to them!
I remember this episode of Ed Sullivan. Thank you for posting this historic moment.
splendid performance I remember it God I am old!
That. Was. Awesome. Especially "I Rememnber it Well". "Am I getting old?' Oh no! Not you"
I love this song.

Wow, what beautiful wonderful people - all three of them but so emotional and I'm afraid we'll probably never see the like of them again.
this is wonderful!
This is my 1st introduction to Sophie. But, Maurice I enjoyed from the 1st time I watched him perform: both his Voice & Charm!
Entertainment like this doesn't exist anymore.
You are so right as a very Young Man I loved him and his singing of Great Love songs. Much better times!
Your absolutely right. Today so called " talent" can't hold a candle to the stars of the past.
It will continue to exist as long as we still have access to it! Thank you to whomever put this up!

What lacking mostly today. Real talent.
My god! Genuine love between these great entertainers. EPIC. Sophie Tucker the original Red Hot Mama!
What a treasure! Loved seeing this! Thanks for sharing!
Two of the best pro's ever in showbiz... especially sweet Maurice... he was the greatest.
I remember when i heard on the news Maurice had died. It made me so sad, i actually cried. My mom would sing Sophie's I'm the last of the red Hot Mommas. and some of her other songs.Talent like this is hard to find nowadays.

So sweet to watch, loved it 😘
Very charming!
Thank you!
Excellent!
So etwas wird es heute nie wieder geben 😪
God they are like an old married couple it's a shame they didn't work together more often two greats together on there retirement
Being offered, choosing the right role and timing I daresay was key…
What a performance! Wow!
They were about the same age, Sophie being 2 years Maurice's senior

Night, when we had our last rendezvous

By some chance be thinkin' of it too

***Those Russian songs
***From sunny Spain?

You wore a gown of gold
I was all in blue

Oh no, not you!
How strong you were
How young and gay
A prince of love
In every way

How can you delete someone’s comment when it isn’t on your own video? lol
Wonderful.
All I've got to say is this... Oh, wow.
Remember it well.
Any stupid commercial interrupting this masterpiece is classless
Two of the GREATS!
Maurice and SOPHIE WONDERFUL SIGERS
2 great pros.....this will make you smile
This was for the play Gigi that was turned into a movie of the same name in 1958.
Sophie messed up a lyric: "That brilliant sky" should be followed with "We had some rain", not "There was none that night." "We had some rain" is meant to rhyme with "From sunny Spain?"
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a showmen tks
I LOVE MAURICE.
Sophie fluffed the line at 5:46 when Maurice leads in with, "That brilliant sky." : She replies, "There was none that night." The correct lyric is, "We had some rain" in order to rhyme with the next line, "from sunny Spain." :-)
yes, but being a natural performer means just carrying on, as she did
So what!
A Treasure ! Two TREASURES ,..oh I remember them well…
Stunning.
By Jove ! In this time, we had charm & elegance, humor & poetry... Now, we have explicit lyrics and TWERK !
Magnifique
