Agreed! I've only recently come across Caterina, but Danny was one of my very first celebrity crushes. I've never understood why people my age didn't also watch classic movies and listen to the "oldies," and so few people I speak to (even as an adult) know who the classics are. :/
Caterina Valente - A stunning artist, incredible skilled. No matter, if in many German films of the 50s, or worldwide on the stage/TV shows....what a woman, what a time. The world today is against simply unsupportable.....
Her smile comes so easily, warm and genuine. Even without her talent people would congregate around her in hopes she's smile in their direction. I might be projecting.
Spectacular, brilliant, charming, mega, hyper talented, sensational, musical, artistic phenomenon !!! People this person was not from this world! There are no words that define so much talent. I never imagined that there was an artist as perfect as Caterina Valente.❤️🥺👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
She was unbelievably talented. She could sing jazz like Ella, tap like Sammy (although not as well as Eleanor), play jazz guitar and do comedy in 7 languages.
@@MRG09100 Thank You!,👏🙏👏👊👏👏👏 Always bugs me (and I honestly finds it a bit disrespectful when) bananas when Performers and Artists Who are Still With Us are referred to in the past .. 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🙄😬😬😬🤷♀️
They are so Addictive, im kinda new back in Bossa Nova - she is SO Talented, Funny and Charming. I’m in my 40s and should be listening to Rock today, but this is SO much better - and positive too!
Sem dúvida uma das grandes cantoras de música ligeira do século XX - talvez mesmo a melhor. E a primeira poliglota, capaz de cantar em português, alemão, inglês, francês, italiano e castelhano. E belíssima mulher também!
This number is brilliant from start to finish. Valente and Kaye make it look so easy - but it's not. The keys are constantly changing and the melodies intersect at just the right time. The backing vocals are delicate and perfectly balanced. And what about Valente's skilled guitar playing. I love seeing Danny in this gentle, relaxed mode. Thank you!
Ah u guys are being technical... Valente has probably the best "feel" for Bossa of any non-Brasilian i've heard (and she was raised in Germany), however the rest is rather mechanical... including K. i love DK but Bossa feel is beyond the Anglo Saxon, sorry, it's the opposite of their cultural spectrum (why Anglos can't dance to save their life and ranked as the worst lovers etc etc).
At 3:00 it seems a lead guitar is added, but it isn't Caterina. It's so imperceptible, but look closely at Caterina's hands at 4:06. Listen closely to the lead guitar line and watch Caterina's fingers afterwards. Still, great performance. I'd be amazed if she could concentrate on those guitar lines and the lyrics.
They make it look and sound so easy. But bossa nova is actually a very sophisticated form of Latin jazz, and I'm sure every move these two made was choreographed. But you wouldn't know it. Excellent.
And a real gem especially for those of us who just recently (like in the past few hours) stumbled upon this woman and her talent. Adapting the children’s songs to Bossa Nova and Jobim works surprisingly well. Kaye could sometimes come across as slightly cloying but not here. He’s a gentle and responsive accompanist to Caterina.
How wonderful the final image when they lean their foreheads against each other. On September 9th, 2024, a star in the firmament passed away. Be happy wherever you are Caterina Valente 🙏✨🤗
A question out of frustration: Why does this brilliance have 13 thousand views, and so much caterwalling crap has 13 million views or maybe 13 billion views?
Because most young people never heard of her and so are spoon fed the most easily reproducible commodity. As an older musician,if ordering tea,if I say “ tea for two and two for tea and me for you and you for me” etc, the young person serving us will always look as if I am a crazy misfit! They will have no idea about the song!
It's because of the "MacDonaldisation" of Music and a lack of musical education. On a side note: I was so fortunate to have been in the band that accompanied her at a gala event in Berlin in 1978. Her then husband Roy Budd was the musical director and pianist... unforgettable..!
Sadly in Germany, Austria and switzerland where in those days jazz or latin american music wasnt received very well Valente is mostly known as a schlagermusik star. The german labels somehow wasted her talent forcing her into very commerical musical roles and valente became the voice of the superficial german wirtschaftswunder of the 50ies and 60ies. America and france allowed her to show us much more of her great talents.
More PROOF that I have *not* been wrong all these years: *Caterina, Judy Garland, Danny Kaye, and Frank Sinatra WERE THE top entertainers & talents of the 20th Century.* For dance, of course, Fred Astaire & Gene Kelly belong in their own category.
Thank you for listing all this out!! I’m 22 and as an aspiring musician I have been searching for music that speaks to me and I’m going to study all these icons
You should ask yourself why you don't have the Nicholas Brothers in there? and how the expression "white men can't dance" exists, and why there is no equivalent today of "Astaire and Kelly" and is you list the genre's of dance today they all go back to the Latin world.. you can start with the title of this vid...
Thanks Alan, for another wonderful 'blast from the past'. Caterina, 87, is still hanging in there. Danny had the quick wit and multiple talents needed to thrive on live TV, and so many other accomplishments it seemed almost unfair one guy could be so gifted.
Such wonderful talent, charm and humour. What more could you ask for? There are many talented people in the world today of course but real, beautiful charm seems to be missing.
Espetacular, brilhante encantadora, mega, hiper talentosa, sensacional, fenômeno musical, artístico!!! Gente essa pessoa não era desse mundo! Não tem palavras que defina um ser tão especial como esta artista. Nunca imaginei que existisse uma artista tão perfeita como Caterina Valente.❤️🥺👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, thank you, Alan, for making this available to us. I was transfixed, watching it, and for seven minutes and three seconds I was completely absorbed. Aw, it makes me so wistful for another time. And this video stands the test of time. Again, thank you.
@@dieterhans3563 È davvero così. Fino a qualche mese fa non sapevo nemmeno dell'esistenza di questa talentuosa e poliedrica artista. Ritengo possa essere considerata con certezza la più grande artista italiana del xx secolo
RIP Caterina😢
a great woman, mother and artist is now dancing and singing in heaven...
I've watched Ms. Valente with Danny Kaye, Dean Martin and Bing Crosby. It looks like they all fell in love with her. No wonder
To be fair, that may have been part of the act.
Who didn't? :-)
Add me.
@@Krakatoa106 yeah me too
Agree- like they were mesmerized by her. 💕❣️
RIP Caterina Valente. Thank You for the music and for being an inspiring and generous human being.
Who isn't smitten with Caterina Valente? Such an amazing, talented, lovely, charming, polyglot!
It's one thing to be so incredibly talented, but to make everything she did look so effortless is just magical.
The whole world doesn't know how much they're missing just by not knowing who are these amazingly talented people, sad world we live in today...
Agreed! I've only recently come across Caterina, but Danny was one of my very first celebrity crushes. I've never understood why people my age didn't also watch classic movies and listen to the "oldies," and so few people I speak to (even as an adult) know who the classics are. :/
Where are the people with this talent now?
Adele
I am Brazilian and she sings in Portuguese very well. Amazing artist.
Hey buddies, this is one of the greatest Ladies in contemporary music...
"buddies"?
do you really talk like that?!?
Rest in Prace, Catarina! We will never forget....
It never gets old. It's hard not to fall in love every time you see her! Charm and talent to spare!

True, Caterina became my idol from the first time i heard her talent
@@lenkazdraviciv-4896How I wish I had been born at the time Catarine was alive to go to her show.
her portuguese is VERY good, a truly talented lass. Her "One Note Samba" with Dean Martin performance is a must see
Jack & Jill section in this medley
She was unbelievably talented. She could sing jazz like Ella, tap like Sammy (although not as well as Eleanor), play jazz guitar and do comedy in 7 languages.
Caterina was a true musicial genius, ... and very VERY feminine. I call her, "the Audrey Hepburn of ballads and duets."
Why do you guys refer to her in a past tense? Catarina Valente is still alive!
MRG09100 and still is 👏👏👏👏👏💕
@@MRG09100
it's what she could do. She's 90 or something now.

She is WONDERFUL ! (in her nineties now!)
Fabulous! They were so incredibly good together! And Caterina had unparalleled charms.
Such admiration from Kaye...he's having a great time.
Caterina Valente is the best Entertainer of the World
Absolutely!
Caterina, + Judy Garland, + Frank Sinatra, + Mr. Danny Kaye! Yes!
She is Simply The Best 👏👏👏👏👏💕
Those were some special years !!! She was so talented !! Danny was one of my all-time favorites ❤❤

Wow....just ‘priceless’ in my humble opinion. Two of the worlds greatest talents right here Folks. 🥴
She is just awesome, allround entertainer and a fantastic guitarplayer!
When she sings rhythm i can feel it dripping into my soul. So good.
❤ beide sehen aus, als ob sie Spass an ihrem Auftritt haben ! ich hatte ihn auch !! ❤
sie fehlen uns 😢😢😢
Sem dúvida uma das grandes cantoras de música ligeira do século XX - talvez mesmo a melhor. E a primeira poliglota, capaz de cantar em português, alemão, inglês, francês, italiano e castelhano. E belíssima mulher também!
Dolores Duran também era. Cantava em português, inglês, francês, alemão, espanhol, italiano, até esperanto.
a astrud gilberto cantava em português, francês, espanhol, inglês. a maysa também cantava em todas as línguas acima, e mais algumas.
What a display of talent! Caterina is such a wonderful guitarist.

I really like the part at 2:00 when Valente was playing those sophisticated chord progressions as Kaye was narrating. Truly the sounds of ~Brasil
Great performance, but it sounds like Caterina had some help with the some of the guitar lines (if you look closely).

Real Pros. Try and find this musical quality today. 2018. The world turned upside down.
yeah exactly i was saying the same thing!unfortunately!

Haha there’s a shit ton of new talent, probably even more then back then, it’s just not mainstream. Dig around youtube, you’ll find it.
Yes... sadly, yet perfection outlast all as we see here❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@derrickclark5364 ... we need to see him doing it.... now...&... in 50 years from now😂😂😂
Fantastico, non ci sono altri commenti
She has the same kind of magical charm as Julie Andrews.
Absolutely love how she abruptly launches off into scatting sessions.
Her smile would heal the world
What sweet friends they were
Wow! She's beautiful. My toddler grandson would love to listen to an album of Mother Goose a'Nova.
And a real gem especially for those of us who just recently (like in the past few hours) stumbled upon this woman and her talent.

She shreds! Excellent playing and performing.
Bon souvenir de Catherine Valente -Dany Kay des années 60:. 😊😂
Nur wegen dieser Frau bin ich Sängerin geworden ich finde sie klasse
...❤❤❤❤❤
2:29 even her laugh is lovely tuned
блин у красоты и искусства нет национальности и нет времени
какое великолепное попури ,пойду ешо раз слушать!
потрясающе!
и да ,какая она красавица!
Esto ya no se verá nunca más es maravilloso 😅❤
Brilliant! No one like either of them today.
How incredibly charming!
How wonderful the final image when they lean their foreheads against each other. On September 9th, 2024, a star in the firmament passed away. Be happy wherever you are Caterina Valente 🙏✨🤗
Caterina ist einfach die beste Entertainerin. ❤
What a clever arrangement!
Talent drips off these two.
Bliss - pure, melodious bliss
The essence of charm and class and talent.. Caterina is beyond amazing.
She was and is Symply the best👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️
énorme talent !! on peut apprécier les moyens, simplissimes, et le talent énormissime !
Born in Paris to Italian parents. I guess this is where it leads.
I love her voice and her style. Love her dress in this video as well .. hehehe.
Simplemente bello
Que extraordinaria artista Caterina Valente. Irradia simpatía, además de talento.
Essa mulher é multifuncional, maravilhosa, infinitamente talentosa!! O português dela é perfeito e ainda canta bossa nova! !😍😍😍
Perfeito nao é, mas é muito bom mesmo, assim como todo o resto. Nunca ouvi falar dela antes, mas to conhecendo agora na quarentena.
What i love is that they use nursery rimes and also use song from other bossanova artists like girl from impanima
Happy birthday Caterina!
Alucino con Danny Kaye, era un artistazo.
Virtuoso! Two real pros. The harmonies in the cover of Corcovado at 3:35 are exquisite.
Questa donna e' una vera ARTISTA A 360 GRADI. NON SO SE AL MONDO NE SONO ESISTITE TANTE DI QUESTA FATTURA
È la migliore!
