+Keaira Cox Julie has a huge powerful operatic voice! But yes, she does have certain soft qualities which makes her voice so unique and incredibly beautiful, we will never see another quite like her ever.
For those wondering about the songs used... remember that this was a special which aired in 1962, so all the songs were from Broadway musicals prior to that. So there may be quite a few unfamiliar to modern audiences -- and here you go: *Every Little Movement - from "Madame Sherry, 1910 *Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life - from "Naughty Marietta, 1910 *Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, Along the Highway - from (Naughty Marietta, 1910 *Look for the Silver Lining - from Zip Goes a Million, 1919 [which was a flop, and the song was re-introduced in "Sally" from 1920 and became a hit] *Limehouse Blues - from "The Revue of 1924" *Fidgety Feet - from "Oh, Kay", 1926 *I Love Your Funny Face - from "Funny Face", 1927 *'S Wonderful - from "Funny Face", 1927 *Hallelujah! - from "Hit the Deck", 1927 *Why Was I Born? - from "Sweet Adeline", 1929 *Don't Ever Leave Me" - from "Sweet Adeline", 1929 *Dancing in the Dark - from "The Bandwagon", 1931 *I Get a Kick Out of You - from "Anything Goes", 1934 *Get Out of Town - from "Leave It To Me", 1938 *Where or When - from "Babes in Arms", 1937 *More Than Glad to Be Unhappy - from "On Your Toes", 1936 *I've Got You Under My Skin - from "Born to Dance, 1936 [movie] *Begin the Beguine - from "Jubilee", 1935 *I'm Just a Girl Who Cain't Say No - from "Oklahoma!", 1943 *Wouldn't it Be Loverly? - from "My Fair Lady", 1956 *A Boy Like That/I Have a Love - from "West Side Story", 1957
I was planning to search the lyrics one by one! thanks for this info! I may be born in the 90s but, I love songs from 60s, 70s, 80s. ;) I love listening to Broadway songs even if I didn't watched one live.
You really know your stuff! Thanks! I've been listening to this medley since I first taped it in 1962 and never have I seen a list of the songs before.
I have watched this at least 100 times! I love Julie Andrews and Carol Brunett! Julie Andrews is one of the greatest singers I believe! She is my idol!
Could you imagine the preasure on Carol Burnett to have to sing a duet with one of the greatest vocal talents who ever lived? LIVE??? I've got to hand it to her though, even though Julie is in a whole 'nother league, Carol held her own!
Carol has a KILLER voice! And obviously she’s hilarious. She also gives space to let Julie be funny too!!! No hams here, just two women who seem to really love performing together.

I turned 65 today. I had to watch this again. I was 15 when this was on. It's such an amazing show. I bought the LP as soon as it came out and played it (and especially this and "Big D") a lot during college. I memorized the whole thing. I wanted to be Julie, but I did a better Carol. While the rest of the medley is fun, I always get chills with "I have a love..." The switch from playing it for laughs from Carol to Julie's conviction should be seen (and understood) by any acting hopeful.
Classic! I do NOT agree that Carol is awkward & ungraceful here, as expressed by at least one person herein. She couldn't have made it onstage at all if she were. But contrasted w/ Julie Andrews, how many of us would out-shine her? And considering JA's vocal strengths, it is a tribute to their friendship that this sort of thing happened several times...check out YT for more of the same.
It was magic when they met Some people get an instant connection when they meet and that happened between Carol and Julie Carol is godmother to Julie's daughter Emma
Its that West Side Story Medley that shows so much. If you can, just watch Carol; listen to Julie. No surprise where the laughs come or the pure voice. Keep watching as Carol stops, freezes and slowly recedes into the deep background,while Andrews reaches her climax both vocally and dramatically. Keep watching Burnett as she moves into pathos, memory, pain. Its all in that face that got guffaws moments before. Julie is not done yet expressing that simple yet eternal truth about love.
WOW! What an historical Time Capsule. I didn't even knew that this existed. I didn't know that they ever collaborated with one another either. Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Ty Nash They've been best friends since their agents introduced them around 1960. They first worked together when Julie guest starred on THE GARRY MOORE SHOW, where Carol was a regular. I think Julie guest appeared on at least one other episode of TGMS. This special was filmed in June 1962 (Julie is actually 4 months pregnant here) and they won the Emmy for outstanding musical program the following Spring. Carol also won a separate Emmy for her performance in it. They reunited at Lincoln Center in 1971 and a third time in 1989.
wow you can entertain an audience with two people singing in front of a curtain!! Maybe somebody should try it again ' Hmmm, finding the curtain is easy , but that still leaves a problem.....
I can't count how many times I've watched this. It's so brilliant. They are so perfect together. I'd rather watch this than watch 99% of what is on TV today.
God didn’t take away Julie’s voice - imperfect men, age and Satan did. She was 62 when she underwent surgery on her vocal chords, certainly no spring chicken, and she had had a 50+ year run of perfection, remarkable for any voice. Hers was special! I would like to know why no one thought to insure her voice in the fist place. She had to sue the hospital and doctors stead. Voices age, and especially soprano voices. It’s very painful to listen to an older soprano sing with a vibrato that spans an entire octave, who doesn’t understand how painful it is for the listener to hear it and he audience smiles but pities the singer. People who blame God instead are doomed to misinterpret life. Julie never sang a cringeworthy song, so her record remains flawless. And Julie didn’t let her misfortune stop her. Dame Julie is also a prolific writer, educator and artist, at almost 87 years old! Her awards are numerous, and her charm endless. She is my mom’s age, and we will always cherish the wonderful experience of Julie Andrews and her multifaceted talent.
Spoken like a person who doesn’t have the knowledge or capacity to conceive of the purpose and origins of our existence, suffers from arrogance in residing in the limitations of a man made reality, and risks the eternal death by the suicide of unbelief.
@@janschiebout7955 Written (not "spoken" as we are not speaking) like a person who suffers from undiagnosed mental illness, as most people who suffer from delusions of fictional characters in one's head also believe they hear voices of these fictional characters such as "god".
I had the privilege of meeting Dame Julie whilst she was visiting in Sydney a few weeks ago, she is the personification of of elegance. A true lady through and through and an encounter I shall never forget.
I think this should be shown to all young people aspiring to do musical theatre... to show them what it means to be consummately professional, tasteful and classy.
What an extraordinary duo... I always apreciated Julie Andrews as a vocalist. But at this point, I can no longer say I dislike musical theatre because of the force unveiled in this performance. Seriously. What a power combo.
I'm on a Carol/Julie high at the moment and I'm really in love with the softness and royally fanciful voice that Julie uses; likewise, with Carol brass, yet poignant voice I can't help but to smile when she uses that instrument with her comedy.
Thank you for unloading this phenomenal duo! I'm crying from Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story" finale. Wow, what a gift God gave to them to pass on to us! ¬ Janet Thompson Deaver
Um, Julie Andrews sang for the King when she was 12, being prominent in stage entertainment already. This tv show from 1962 is not at the beginning of her career.
there is nothing more beautiful then pure talent. Why can we not have the same amazing actors and actresses we had once upon a dream? much love to the inspiration of both Julie and Carol
I'm in tears at the fun and the beauty of this wonderful clip. Julie's voice is at its absolute prime, able to do virtually anything. And it is wonderful to hear Burnett's voice when she used a wonderful head voice. Her voice remained wonderful, but she had to belt so much on her show. People forget what a great musician one must be to blend with Andrews, Merman, et al.! Anyway, this is sheer heaven, and the the final duet is heartbreaking.
Both amazing, beautiful women demonstrating the beauty of difference! One as great as the other, but completely different vocal styles. Both as talented as each other and both an inspiration to me when I was a young lady!
Actually, it was taped live in 1962. Julie was pregnant with her daughter Emma, who was born about 5 months later. They won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Musical Program in 1963, and Carol won a performance Emmy for it at the same ceremony. The program was directed by Mike Nichols. Watch the other segments of this altogether splendid offering, including the hilarious send-up of then-running Broadway hit THE SOUND OF MUSIC (a couple of years before Julie filmed that magnificent movie).
Goodness... they get to the dramatic West Side Story duet and they totally nail it after all the lighthearted stuff preceding it. This is top of the line - thanks for posting!
I love these ladies! I had the great pleasure of saying hello to Carol Burnett (ever so briefly) after seeing her and Brian Dennehy on stage in "Love Letters". I'd love to meet Julie some day, just to say how much pleasure they have brought to people over years.
"Youuuu should know BET-TAH!!" The ultimate treat would be if this is ever remastered from its 2-inch videotape original to DVD. The ladies not only can SANG, they are lovely to boot, and surprisingly comic in the "A Boy Like That / I Have a Love" medley (the finale at that time!!), with them literally playing the roles. I miss the days of live television variety specials like these.
This video make me want to scream, it’s so good. They fit together perfectly. I love these two ladies, and I’m so thankful this was filmed, saved, and uploaded.
A tremendous performance by two wonderful artistes. This pairing of an English Rose with an all American feisty 'Dame', has proved a terrific match with genuinely great rapport making for an outstanding duet. Thank you for posting this.
57 years ago, or so, two of us adoring folks watched this on the telly. Ne’er forgot. Always loved, honoured and imitated (badly). It is difficult to conceive of such a fabulous combo ever. Well. Okay. There was Noel and Gertrude, and there you go, Julie acted Gertrude in STAR, so I see an inevitability here. Oh. Such gorgeous mastery! Bless you for this recording.
God is this great!! Wow. This show again really shows their singing skills. I have hardly ever heard Julie sing as dramatic as in this part from West Side Story here, it really caught my breath! :-) They both are SO amazing, it's indescribable!
I am loving the fact that so many young people are watching these. I'm 15 and it makes me have just a little morw\e hope for the world. And that these things can bring us together. Carol and Julie mean everything to me because they bring the best happiness.
There were three (yes, only three) TV networks, yet at least once a month something marvelous like this would come on. I recall specials featuring Fred Astaire, Barbra Streisand, The Supremes, Frank Sinatra, even Bette Midler. Now we have 800 channels - and Honey Boo-Boo. What happened?
I was 12 when this came on TV, back when you had 1 TV set and you watched what mom and dad wanted. Fortunately, my dad was a big fan of musicals of all sorts, so we watched this show. I'm sure it could be duplicated today; lots of the pop singers could do this, but they're all afraid to alienate their fans. They don;t realize how many new fans they could get by doing a show like this.
Carol as Anita and Julie as Maria gives me life.
Yes very much
With Carol's awkwardness, humor, and strong beautiful voice and Julie's gracefulness and soft beautiful voice, they make the perfect team.
+Keaira Cox Julie has a huge powerful operatic voice! But yes, she does have certain soft qualities which makes her voice so unique and incredibly beautiful, we will never see another quite like her ever.
Very VERY true
Julie's are bigger. Arpeggios of course.

Oh, what a saviour

Their rendition of "A Boy Like That/I Have A Love" sends chills up your spine.

Louis Cross Not sure what you're questioning.
dmnemaine Julie hit all the high notes perfectly. And Carol's part was remarkably good.
+torres songs Heavenly voice. So powerful yet soft at the same time. What INCREDIBLE control.
Brought tears to my eyes! So beautiful performance!
It was a privilege to watch this.
Julie's reaction when Carol started singing "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" is priceles... 😄
And Julie's prim-and-proper "I cain't say no" is just killing!
-> "I cahn't say cain't".
I have watched this at least 100 times! I love Julie Andrews and Carol Brunett!
Julie Andrews is one of the greatest singers I believe! She is my idol!
Erin Graham Where could I meet you? 😂
She is indeed the greatest singer, hands down. No one sings with her vocal quality and diction.
She is mine toooooooo!

曲のタイトルを
本当に！ありがとうございます
I'm a 13 year old who just started crying halfway through. And I (almost) never cry.
How's this affected your life in the years since? Has it made a lasting impact? Any life choices from it? I'm so interested in your story. ❤️
I AM SO GLAD THAT THIS EXISTS!
Me too
They were a wonderful duo! Not only their voices, but their senses of humor are so well-matched.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how "Diva" is done.

I love how Julie Andrews is just impeccably talented, but cannot break her beautiful accent.
Classic!
I do NOT agree that Carol is awkward & ungraceful here, as expressed by at least one person herein. She couldn't have made it onstage at all if she were. But contrasted w/ Julie Andrews, how many of us would out-shine her?

They really are! In Julie's book she writes how from the first moment they met they were inseparable!
It was magic when they met Some people get an instant connection when they meet and that happened between Carol and Julie
Carol is godmother to Julie's daughter Emma
"Just wait, Maria!" Oooh, a sign for the future!!
They're both so talented ... brill.
Back in the day when entertainment was classy, clean, and so professional!

Julie's singing at 1:30
She was the first person to play Cinderella actually!
Yes, I knew that! :))
It was a reference, I'm glad you got it!
I wanna hear Carol sing Wouldn't It Be Loverly in its entirety!
They are/were such a good team! Julie Andrews being the heavenly voice, while Carol Burnett's earthy humor keeping the vibe grounded.
Carol's "OH YEAH" at 6:41 kills me every time!
how gracious of Dame Julie to sing with Carol Burnett and what a privilege for Miss Burnett!
WOW! What an historical Time Capsule. I didn't even knew that this existed. I didn't know that they ever collaborated with one another either. Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
There are quite a few other videos on here where they have collaborated since this performance! you should check them out:)

Now this IS entertainment!
Go Andrews and Burnett! :]

LOL! Carol's wacky personality, and Julie's sophisticated air is a perfect mix!!
Simply phenomenal. Great chemistry, it showcases their talent...and their friendship that has endured all these years. Bravo ladies.
👏 Very well put

It's now 2020 and I am still watching. I love Julie Andrews then and now....
They act, sing and make people laugh. We rarely see such talents.
1:31 I'm convinced 100% that's what music in heaven sounds like!!! Julie's voice mixed with a beautiful melody.
60 years ago today on 11 June 1962. It was worth a revisit.
I think this should be shown to all young people aspiring to do musical theatre... to show them what it means to be consummately professional, tasteful and classy.

Me toooooooooooooo

This must be the definitive meaning of the word "talent" ... 💕😊
i've had this on repeat for 4 days its just so good
I know exactly what you mean! I'm obsessed. Particularly the excerpt from West Side Story.
👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏 I love this too

there is nothing more beautiful then pure talent. Why can we not have the same amazing actors and actresses we had once upon a dream? much love to the inspiration of both Julie and Carol

Two such different tonalities and qualities of voices but go together and blend so well!
JUST THE THOUGHT OF THESE TWO ON STAGE TOGETHER IS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME LAUGH ~ AND STICK AROUND FOR MORE !
I LOVE JULIE'S VOICE SO MUCH!!! Simply Stunning
God is this great!! Wow.
This show again really shows their singing skills. I have hardly ever heard Julie sing as dramatic as in this part from West Side Story here, it really caught my breath! :-)
They both are SO amazing, it's indescribable!
I love how these two are friends! They are just amazing together, they need to make a duet album or something
this is just amazing...makes me tear
No words....i love both. Something like this is not done anymore.
It makes me cry so beautiful it was! The last song a big piece of art from West Side Story, was amazing, great, great
❤❤❤ thanks once again love you
Absolutely fantastic in every way. It’s so bittersweet for me. Inking for those times again.
I am loving the fact that so many young people are watching these. I'm 15 and it makes me have just a little morw\e hope for the world. And that these things can bring us together. Carol and Julie mean everything to me because they bring the best happiness.
This makes me so. happy.
There were three (yes, only three) TV networks, yet at least once a month something marvelous like this would come on. I recall specials featuring Fred Astaire, Barbra Streisand, The Supremes, Frank Sinatra, even Bette Midler. Now we have 800 channels - and Honey Boo-Boo. What happened?
I was 12 when this came on TV, back when you had 1 TV set and you watched what mom and dad wanted. Fortunately, my dad was a big fan of musicals of all sorts, so we watched this show. I'm sure it could be duplicated today; lots of the pop singers could do this, but they're all afraid to alienate their fans. They don;t realize how many new fans they could get by doing a show like this.
Julie oozes elegance, beauty & talent! I adore her
I loved this show and as a kid I played the album until there were no grooves left...I agree with you 100%
That was so amazing!!!! Julie is so perfect!!!! Omggggg I think she made carol tear up a bit. :')
This is such fun and so skilled.
I knew it was special when seeing this performance and it remains a classic.
Seriously have watched this a million times and I love it just as much if not more every time
I sing along everytime I love his so much
man i miss when julie's voice was at it's prime :) Her and Carol are my heroes!!!! :)
The dresses Julie and Carol wear in this clip look beautiful. They make a great combination. Thanks for posting this clip.
