Music & comedy- in that order. Were these people "old school" or just represent the skills that seem to have vanished in pop music today?
No "auto-tune" or electronic tricks existed nor were needed for these super talents.
My favorites by far are Andy Williams and Tony Bennett- two very different singers with very different vocal skills.
I listen to them from a musicians' point of view- even when the material is marginal- I focus on the limitless vocal skills of both of these people.
Instrumentally- Doc Severensen Buddy Rich, Maynard Fergusen-all with limitless abilities. In comedy, silly works for me. Letterman, Conan , SNL, SCTV and ANYTHING Mel Brooks makes me laugh
.Let me address the "counting numbers" that are on many of the videos.These rare videos are of various quality- some very good and many poor.The onscreen timing numbers are embedded in the videos- nobody likes them but there is no way to remove them.
I hope you enjoy the best of the best- numbers and all!

Andy Williams -I Don't Want to Be In Love
There is a story behind this particular performance. The airline lost Tony’s luggage, which among other things have the printed music in it for the Tonight Show band. The orchestration was laid out, but it never got to the show in time. An emergency Tommy Newsom of the Tonight Show band wrote out, the orchestration that is performed on this video. It took him three hours to write the arrangement. So in case you’re not aware of what that means, it is simply everything the orchestra is playing behind. Tony Bennett was conceived by Tommy Newsom. We’re talking about the finest musicians in the world with Doc Severinsen being the icing on that cake. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Marvelous. Docs accompanying is superb as well.❤
SCTV hilarious!
All delivery and no real felt engagement. Too self conscious and self enamored of her delivery not the message. The song is inappropriate for a female. so a guy has ruby lips. It's another case of a quick bebop tune slowed down with lugbubrious lyrics pasted on.
I remember this lol!!!!!!!!
JLT; All I have left is the Shadow of Your Smile. Always have loved you. RIP Tony.
The dancers!
A fabulous version. Both Andy Williams and Elvis sang this song beautifully.
Spectacular.
Saw this great man twice at Southend pavilion in the twilight of his life,still the best
Yeah Gary. He was special Thanks for your comment I have posted much more of Andy ‘s performances Enjoy them
Absolutely precious ❤️
Oh… he was special Christine
It's hard for me to watch this without tears. When I was like 7, dad had a 45 vinyl of this song. It was my favorite song and played it repeatedly. Now I'm 62, and dad long gone but this song reminds me of him. One of the best human beings I've ever known....Thank you Tony Bennett.

Two great artists together! I had the privilege of being present to watch a recording session where Mancini was recording a rhythm track for a movie score. It was a trio; Ray Brown was on bass, Shelly Manne was on drums. Mancini had hired another pianist so he could concentrate on producing. Mancini was a consummate professional, quiet and unassuming. He didn't like what the pianist was doing, but he gave the pianist three opportunities to play the part. Then he simply said "take five, guys." He walked quietly over to the contractor and unceremoniously indicated to let the pianist go. After the other pianist left, Mancini started the recording again, playing the piano part himself. What he played was absolutely perfect (naturally). I was already a great fan of Mancini and his music, but my respect for him went even higher that day.
Great insight on Mancini I am a busy working pianist I’m sure the pianist although upset grew to appreciate the non- spectacle of his release This live performance is stunning Two gifted artists
2:56 - 3:14 Gorgeous 💓💓💓💓💓

This is pure raw talent. Not like the garbage we hear today.
You can correctly compliment Tony Bennett without denigrating current talents.
He is the greatest isn't he
