- Our Gypsy of the Year Competition in 2010opened with an unforgettable tribute to three-time Tony Award-winner Carol Channing. The stage and screen icon, backed by an all-male chorus line, delighted the sold out audience with renditions of "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" from her first Broadway smash, 1949's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and the rousing title song from Hello, Dolly! - the show which made her a legend in 1964.

There is so much Joy radiating from her. Goodnight, your star will always be shining.
The affection and protective care with which the one chorus boy guides Miss Channing is such a beautiful picture of respect. He guides her, yet does not condescend. He subtly supports her but lets her strength shine through. During this virus, I don't fully know why, I have been watching this so often. And I really start crying at the lyric "Look at the old girl now fellas!!"
YES. You literally wrote "exactly" what I was thinking.
My sentiments exactly!
You can tell the men in the chorus adore her
Mike Schulz That's because they're all old for dancers and they finally got a gig.
@@MsThebeMoon I know the post is old but I think based on a trailer for the Larger Than Life doc those are in fact her old chorus boys from her last tour as Dolly.
@@saraholson5946 Indeed, they're all from the Broadway and the touring production of Hello Dolly, and they all came out to dance with her one last time.
Cause they're all Gay honey that's why
What beautiful jewel our 🌎 lost, at age 97!!
Carol Channing was a rare gem in a world full of cubic zirconias💍💍💍
I cried my eyes out. What a life, what a legacy, what a lady.
I was leaving work at 8 o'clock on a Sunday in Manhattan and saw her walking towards, almost a block away, in a bright red trench coat. She was very elegant, had true presence. I had a pleasant little conversation with her when she passed. She seemed humble and loved her fans. She had class but could really camp it up on stage. She had a reputation for being a hard worker, but always looked like she was having fun. She was born to be on Broadway. I was surprised at how tall she was, about 6 feet in flat shoes. I always appreciated her uniqueness.
R.I.P... one of the great thrills in her live was being on Nixon's enemies list... she was a real liberal, someone who really cared about others... she was for real... she will be missed.
....just read that ever since her inclusion on Nixon's enemies list was revealed, that ALL of Carol's PLAYBILLs lister her theater accomplishments...and that she then listed her inclusion on Nixon's list as a separate accomplishment. Has it ever been revealed WHY she was on Nixon's list?!?
Let's hope we can all move this good when we are 90
She's 90yrs old in this clip! 90 YEARS OLD! What a legend.
"Wow, wow, wow, fellas! Look at the old girl now fellas...." Wow, only Carol can be the epitome Dolly, as she performs this routine for zillionth time. How many gals can sing & dance at almost 90! May you sing & dance in peace, Carol, forevermore, as you are now a shining star in heaven! Bless you for giving us your extraordinary joy, charm & smile - we will miss you!
Wow. I was in tears near the end. What a star. I saw her in the Hello Dolly production in 1994 in NY. She brought the house down when she did her Dolly stroll. Tonight she needed help - but at 93 - God bless her.
+ramon cruz She's a legend, Ramon. Thanks for watching!
RIP Carol. I'll miss your wonderful voice and talent.
Many copied her .... yet they will never be any one else quite like her ..how luck I was to have seen her so many times live !!
How can you be sad watching Carol Channing perform? Man I love this lady.
carol....seen her over the years so many times, so many memories...in my 90,s now,,,still feel very young...counting on staying this way...hoping I,ll be wearing a Carol Channing smile at the end...wonderful entertainer ! Wonderful Woman ! 🌹❤️🌹
Wish I have that energy at 90....living legend!!
HEY NOW SHE IS MOVING INTO 100....
RIP my Dolly, they surely broke the mold when they made you!
i thought i would be in tears watching this but the joy she radiated i couldn’t. i can only be happy that Dolly is back where she belongs. Rest well, Miss Channing. Long live 💖
This living legend will be missed❤️😢, thank you for all your singing and humor Carol. #ripCarolChanning
That was ingenious of them to create a well thought-out performance just for her. They didn't let her stumble or look ridiculous trying to perform an over 40-year routine.
5:39 THe guy on the right is ready to pop with sheer joy :)
Thank you for that. Yes, I was... :)
I did the last revival of DOLLY on Broadway with Carol, then supervised the National tour with her. I adore her immensely. It was a treat to be onstage with her again.
…. Is this one of those moments where a random person tries to gain self confidence by tricking others? Or were you seriously lucky enough to be a man in a suit?!
orhugs I'm the guy who was lucky enough to do Hello, Dolly! with Carol in the '95 revival. This was our first time together onstage in 13 years. Several of the guys from the revival are in the video here.
That's insane!!! Pleasure to meet you on here!
I had the IMMENSE joy of "meeting" Carol this past March in Palm Springs, at a farewell to the Marilyn Monroe statue
She looked amazing!
Randy Slovacek It's so tender to see how dazzle, happy and joyful all of you (and specially yourself) were at that moment, having the chance of sharing stage with that legend -and it's amazing to see her there still full of life.
She can still tap it out and belt it out at 92! Love this woman!
She looks like she is having the time of her life while they are having her sing through hello dolly!!! Dolly is here to stay and she will never leave Broadway! Love you Carol!!!
Such joy in her face, and in the faces of all the Dolly Boys, and I'm sure in the audience! Randy Slovacek's beaming smile shows how much everyone adored her.
Quite the doors of Heaven today. RIP Madam, and keep smiling!
I'm only a third of Dr. Channing's age and wish I had the energy, passion, and boldness she possesses. Truly an inspiring performer and a noble person.
She better have received standing ovation! This woman is a pure Broadway legend and still working! Carol, bravo! If I ever make it big like you, I hope I can keep on working like you did here. Carol, you're a true performer and a trooper and you give me more inspiration and desire to keep going :)
You could just see that she was having a wonderful time up there.
Who’s still watching in 2021 though?
Wow wonderful. She is the best
Michelle Jackson We agree! Carol Channing is a treasure. Thanks for watching!
bless her heart she can still breathe!!
MrMartybearass lol. I was thinking she must be 120 because I remember her being old since I was a child and I'm no spring chicken. But she's only 93 yo and bless her heart she's still kicking. My parents were younger and they are both deceased. She's one of the few celebrity's still around from that generation. So I'd say her heart is definitely blessed.
Thebe Bashaleebee Still with us. Turns 97 in two weeks.
This dear lady brought so much joy, I was grinning like an idiot through the whole video.
She still held her fans spellbound and in their hearts at her older years, her charm still charmed them.!
So awesome that we have this video record of an icon. RIP Miss Channing
What a truly lovely and talented woman. I grew up knowing of Carrol Channing but haven’t really known her until all these UA-cam presentations. She wasn’t really all that gifted vocally but then again she was extremely gifted. She was a performer into her 90’s and I wish that I could have met her personally and I bet she was just a genuinely nice person.
Christian Tassin. Magnifique artiste, magnifique Carol, une grande leçon pour tous, un sourire de légende. Bravo Madame.
As far as I'm concerned this is probably one of the all time best moments in broadway history and body mics were invented just in time to help her amazing voice to be heard in this and ONLY this particular occasion.
Good bye, Dolly! Rest in peace!
I adore her! But was afraid the whole time that she'd fall! What a trouper!
Wow that was great what a true legend
My favorite actress and singer.
So much Love ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️
I will forever love her.
I’ll miss that smile
Amazing this woman can still grace that audience with her performance!
I adore this woman!
She's BRILLIANT....however the sound man should have bumped up her mic just a bit more. Lower register requires a little more amplification.
In 2010 she was eighty nine years old and still magic on stage. One of the great Broadway legends.
She's still got it. Wonderful woman.
Treasure. RIP legend.
Very sad to see Carol is no longer alive she seemed so full of life but from what i've heard her health had been bad from 2018 as she reportley suffered 2 strokes in 2018 which is probably why she passed away peacefully at 97 cause her body couldn't take it anymore.
It’s amazing to see Broadway legends on stage again after awhile
I have never adored a performer more than I adore Carol Channing!
What a beutyful human been she is awesome
RIP Carol Channing. A Broadway Legend and the ORIGINAL Dolly Levi!
love how that fella on her right is smiling so much
Carol's 97. Betty White is just a child.....
i hope that audience could hear her better than we could.
this has just bought tears to my eyes - thanks for posting and keep up the marvellous work
such a gem. My god!
LOVE and RESPECT ❤❤❤❤❤
There's a name for the linguistic thing she does with her S's, but that is, and has always been, her most endearing feature and signature.
She truly is a legend and is not lauded enough.
Long may she continue to give pleasure to all who view these clips.
Legend. I watched performances throughout her life and her spirit remained despite age.
Pure joy! What a treasure.
Just glorious: what a thing to be so loved by those one has worked with!
FANTASTIC1!! I lve her somuch!~

Not only does BC/EFA do incredible work, but you share such special moments, like these, that words truly cannot describe. Proud supporter!
+Peter Briccotto Thank you so much! Our work is only possible thanks to people like you!
She was wonderful. I lo ed her since I saw her as a little kid. My whole family ed e everything about her. She had such purity. I am ticked that the sound engineers let her go through a performance like this with theevels so ridiculously out of balance! For Pete's sake! A la dmark performance and they do this.
One of the GREATS!!!
I teared up the time Hello Dolly started 😭 she was the best
😪💖💖💖💖💟💟💟💟 rest easy beautiful soul
Oh God bless her
Time code: 7:48 - 8:01 A magical moment to an extraordinary talent!
PRICELESS !
Diva!!
She was 90. wow
❤️
I've always been stupidly blase about Carol Channing -- but this made me choke up!!
Too bad they messed up on the mic. she was great!
89 !
" You're looking great, Stanley " ... Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus ~ Thank You BCEFA
I just read an article about Carol. They said that her mother waited till Carol was going off to college to tell her that her grandmother was black, because Carol would be on her own, she didn't want Carol to be surprised if she had a black baby.
Her mic isn't loud enough. Shame.
Please tell me someone else noticed the guy on the left at 05:11 and cried for like 2 hours straight 😂😂😂
What outfit was Carol Channing wearing??:)
She lost not one iota of charm, though! Sleep well, Ms. Channing, and thank you!
Ok, when is that lift used in Mary Poppins?
She was surrounded by gays all her career..glad she felt safe lol
