  • 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.

    Marilyn is one of my favorite singers, but this song is definitely a man's voice song and Gordon is the best could sing it.

    I just TRY to imagine, what it must have been like, sitting across from a woman so gorgeous, there ARE no adequate words that say it. ----------Gord had to be in music heaven, singing a signature song of his , with Marilyn, knowing her voice can duet with almost, anyone. 1000% Class. ------------MJL, 75 y/o

      Why wouldn't it happen now? Other than the obvious that died last month.
      Rock on brother!

    This is an all-time favorite of mine and have loved it since I was a little kid...... So, about 1972 or so?
    I never saw this video before today (2023) and absolutely love it! Marilyn nails it! Her inflection is so perfect that it improves the melody without taking over and being obnoxious. I'm stunned how great they sound here. It's like she's using her voice as playing a guitar here and it's brilliant!
    She deserves to be recognized as one of the greats....and is by those who know.

    Kind of an odd pairing, but Marilyn McCoo can nail any genre, any style.

    martha knew the song on guitar and my guitar fit perfectly style wise it was magic she did the ghost harmony that is hard to hear on gords album it was cahty smith singing

    Singing with Marilyn, Gordon is lit! At 01:32 does Gordon say "Terry Clements, lead guitar" to Marilyn?

    Does anyone know what year this is? Looks like the early 80s?

      Had to be early 80s because by late 80s Salute/East of Midnight era, he had lost his voice

    He sings it better when he is singing solo !
