Pepsidoodle Helms your so lucky to be an inheritor of what I think made America great I’m biracial and born in Panama and became a US citizen thru my German Dad born in Iowa America is being ruined by a sinister corrupt entity that infiltrated politics the government the media and everything that was good I love America with all my heart and soul and I believe the ol days with tremendous talent like your great grandma is what God saw once Saving but not anymore I’m afraid!
How wonderful to be related to such a classic talented star...delighted to have seen this excellent clip....hosted I think by the extraordinary Victor Borge.
Pepsidoodle Helms Alice Faye is one of my idols and I simply adore her. I'm in my thirties and I am the third generation of women in my family who are huge Alice Faye fans. In fact I'm going to be naming my daughter Alice after Alice Faye.
Oh, boy! What a coup it would have been for David Merrick to have signed Alice Faye to head up the New York cast during its original run. As we see here, she would have been a fantastic Dolly. What a great performance!
She SPARKLES here!!! I just watched my own Alice Faye film festival, nearly twenty films, in all. What a glorious singer and dancer. Her natural acting ability is highly underrated. Beautiful, talented lady with an all too short film career...
I am 67. My family loved her. I grew up watching her movies. I had 4 of them and just got the rest. Hello Frisco Hello, Alexander’s ragtime band and the rose of Washington square
Alice was a superb movie and radio actress. I don't believe she had that "over the top" dynamic (think Ethel M or Carol C) that creates a spectacle in the theater. Her talents served her well, and it was great to see, and especially hear, her in this role.
When I saw her recently in Hello Frisco Hello I thought she was like a double for my sister. Maybe that's why when I was a kid Alice Faye was my fav. I was amazed by how many songs she sang in that movie. A real class act trooper. WOW!
Remember the 1st time I saw her and was hooked when she portrayed Lillian Russell, in the same-named film from 1940! Her beauty, and unique voice have forever been a thrill for me! This production is lovely, and I thank you for posting this classic! Best wishes, varadero
As a huge fan of both Alice Faye and Carol Channing, I appreciate Alice's take on the part, but this role absolutely belongs to Carol. Thanks for posting--a joy to watch!
@@aeichler I noticed that (too), but I like her voice in this. (Not saying anything against Miss Channing, whom I saw play this several times. To me, she is the standard.) I would have been interesting to see Miss Faye play the role.
@@Arkelk2010 I would have loved to have seen Alice do the real "Dolly". Every Dolly was different and Alice would have put her own stamp on it. And she would have looked absolutely gorgeous in those costumes!
Alice may not have Ginger Roger's "six o'clock kicks" (that means kicking the leg so high that the knee meets the nose!") which she did in the national tour which landed in Cincinnati when I was in high school, but she's got the stuff!
I met Alice Faye and her husband Phil Harris several times when I worked at Palm Springs Airport. True class.
Great to hear that. I always thought they were both great.
What an honor
This is one of my favorite songs that My great grandmother ALICE Faye was my great grandmother and I'm happy people remember who she was

Alice Fayre was my husband favourite singer he passed away last December I miss him so much
I am 44 and I love Alice Faye's singing. My 6 year old daughter loves her now. How are Alice's daughters doing?
Alice Faye is totally enchanting. I love the rethinking of the number. What a treat! What a star!
Having retired early from the movies, i was unaware that she still performed like this on stage as she got older. Love Alice.
Oh, boy! What a coup it would have been for David Merrick to have signed Alice Faye to head up the New York cast during its original run. As we see here, she would have been a fantastic Dolly. What a great performance!
Wish they made a movie with Alice's pal - Betty Grable.
She SPARKLES here!!! I just watched my own Alice Faye film festival, nearly twenty films, in all. What a glorious singer and dancer. Her natural acting ability is highly underrated. Beautiful, talented lady with an all too short film career...
My Dad loved Alice Faye so much she was his favourite star! sending regards from the UK
Mine too
Alice aged beautifully. She was such a pro!
Her daughter said she always kept her figure too
Alice Faye certainly brings her own attitude to this song!!!! Love the "wow wow wow fellas" part! Look at her work it!
I am almost 70, had a crush on her growing up and as an adult collected all the recodings of her. So much has gone.
I am 67. My family loved her. I grew up watching her movies. I had 4 of them and just got the rest. Hello Frisco Hello, Alexander’s ragtime band and the rose of Washington square
I am 67 so I grew up watching her. Amazing woman
Hope you are well..I'm 71 and I agree that Alice Faye was a legendary entertainer who certainly deserves a PBS "American Masters " documentary!
what a pleasure to see and hear Miss Faye.
She is ageless.......the voice is the same as it was in 1942.....was named the girl with the velvet throat.....great!
One classy lady. She was wonderful. Love her version and that voice.....Thanks for sharing.😊
Alice Faye had the best ever female crooner voice. She was incomparable.
Beautiful song from a beautiful lady. She was 49 at the time she did this song, born in 1915. Died in 1998 at age 83. Great voice.
My parents born in 1912 and 1917
Beautiful silky voice.

I loved her in State fair

Lived that movie just bought it to finish my collection
My mom loved Alice Faye! glad to have seen this! Thank you :-)
*I'm glad...
Next to Carol, Alice is amazing! Probably second best. Her voice is smooth and flows with perfectly with the song.
WOW WOW WOW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From a 72yo Aussie fan.
fabulous voice
Inspiring!❤
Brilliant Alice
Awesome!
What a Beautiful Lady and Singer! I really enjoyed this and Thank You for the post❤️
A true star. She might very well have been the best Dolly Levi of them all.
find me a 'vacant' knee - was that a Jerry Herman approved change? Who could say no to Alice Faye! Wonderful video! Thanks.
That's the original lyric.
@@aeichler wow! Never heard that. I like the word ‘vacant’ better but I understand the change.
Love this...and Alice.
As a huge fan of both Alice Faye and Carol Channing, I appreciate Alice's take on the part, but this role absolutely belongs to Carol. Thanks for posting--a joy to watch!
+bplatt1069 In all fairness to Alice, she's not playing the actual character, just singing the song.
+Alan Eichler Thank you very much for sharing these great Alice Faye clips.She was truly a beautiful and talented star!

What show was this from? Great performance.
Hollywood Palace
@@aeichler Thanks....
Hello dolly
Carol Channing, Ethel Merman, Pearl Bailey, and Bette Midler are the great Dollys.
Bette Midler? Who cares about her. Alice is better
Did Alice Faye ever play the role on Broadway or on tour?
No, she was never offered the role.
Too bad. She could have costarred with her husband, Phil Harris.
🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈👍R.I.P.
Merman still the best Dolly! Always liked Especially in Alexander r
Pre-recorded...
Back when men and women wren't confused about gender and we didn't have "drag queen story hour."
She's lacking a little "umpf." I think she's a little low energy.
She’s”looks like she,s got no energy Tired
Uhm ..... no. Yes, I like Alice Faye but, no, I would never like to see her playing Dolly Levi.
Wow, wasn’t she great??
She is a very dull dolly...pearl Bailey was the one what personnality
