ENGLISH, .WEST HOLLYWOOD...JAN 2014...
Your a lucky man! An awesome performer!
That's a very cool story! I once had a drink on Frank Sinatra, except he didn't know I was drinking his booze--but it's a LONG story!
That's an amazing story. So nice to know he actually was as decent a chap as he appeared. I bet you must have met everybody in showbiz, everybody from it's Golden Age. I would love to hear your take on the difference between the people in showbiz in the '60s and the people today.
Bing. When I enter heaven, if I may dare hope to, I would like to walk up to him and look him in the eye and shake his hand and thank him for all the joy he has given me and countless millions, even 40 years after his passing.
tryarunm me too :)
Ditto!
I'm gonna ask him to do that thing at the end of the style portion of the medley
IF you go to Heaven, you won't be thinking of Bing --Jesus Christ, the Lord alone.
Hi. There is only one way to heaven. The way is narrow and only a few will find it. Instructions are written in the Bible. Christ died so that we can know Him personally. Unless a person is born again, they cannot enter heaven. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
Bing got older, but he never lost his inherent youthfulness. Always quick, always relaxed, always right on the note. Amazing man.
Bing's voice never left him. That REALLY is astonishing, how as an old man he sounded as great as he did in his forties.
Not to mention that great toupee...
DDumbrille He'd have been the first to take it off if they didn't insist he wear it, trust me on this.
@@michaeljayklein500 Quite possible. I don’t think Bing was vain. In his early acting days, he was made to pin his ears back with special glue, he later refused.
In contrast to Bing, Dean Martin's voice noticeably weakened starting in 1975. But Bing had it still in 1974. Not that it was the same as in the 1930s, but still strong.
@@timcarr6401 Bing sang in a lower key as he got older. He adjusted well
Bing would team up with the greatest talents. This is the first time ive seen hm and Rich Little performing. Classic
Bing left a hole in the pop musicworld that can't be filled
Bing Crosby was the greatest singer of the 20th Century. Amazing talented man and so smooth and at ease always!
More talent in these two than the last three decades.
The last song, that was Bing Crosby doing Rich Little doing Carol Channing. lol!!
True LEGEND Bing Crosby..Rich Little Great Impersonator. Great memories
I’d love to see shows like this again. Two great talents doing their thing, back in the day with no reality shows taking over. Imagine that. I can.
Great impression of Louis Armstrong
I saw Rich Little at the Riviera Casino Las Vegas in in 1975. He did a lot of singing impressions which he said at the time he rearly does for TV. The reason, he wants to save something for the paying customer. This clip show just a taste of his talent, and one of the few times he performed in music.
A beautiful piece of history!
Very enjoyable. At the close they sing 'Style' in which Rich impersonates Dean Martin (from 'Robin and the Seven Hoods', also starring Sinatra) and Bing mouths the words to Rich's impression of Carol Channing's voice.
Wow....so close to his passing. And BING really looks great!....and that he died on a golf course, very poetic. :)
And he's singing with one lung!!
Wow....didn't know that. I forever and constantly define "my" father as a combination of "Bing Crosby" and "Colonel Potter from M*A*S*H).....all that to say....I love his career, songs, movies and how I feel watching or listening to all of it. :)
Why can't we have great variety shows like this any more with real talent
I don't think there are any who have class and talent like all the people I grew up with and enjoyed seeing when I was kid in the 60s and 70s when I was a teenager. Rich Little is still with us. Bless him. He made me laugh for a long time and is still making me laugh watching him on this and the Dean Martin Roasts.
Pure delight. Such talent. Just amazing talent without raunch or all the grossity of today's market❗
WONDERFUL. Rich did a good job. Bing was a master at duets. Very generous in the way he lent others a little of his fame. Possibly THE most famous person of the last 100 years. Chaplin maybe can compere. Very cool.
Haven't you ever heard of Elvis?
A year before old Bing died
What a great duets from two great entertainers that will be difficult on TV screens today
Who knew that Bing could channel Carol Channing so well?
Rich & Der Bingle! Love it! ❤💙💜 Bob Hope was in the background!
Miss those wonderful days of good entertainment.
Magic...just magic.
Bing is very small and fragile in this video. He's 70 years old elderly man. But he still sings like a professional.
+LaoSoftware HOW SAD I! D': I wish he looked like he did in his 20s, 30s, 40s & maybe 50s
LOL. Bing invented this style of singing, crooning. He is the paradigm. Everybody else is measured against him.
What a man excellent
I really enjoyed the Rich Little TV show back in the day.
That was quite a treat to watch Rich Little and Bing Crosby singing a duet.
What a pair of incredibly talented entertainers!
Bing Crosby. The king.
Bing Crosby was the best ever, rip
WE HAD OR DAY...DIDN'T WE? ENJOYING SUCH GREAT & FUN TALENT!!!
I just love this
Littles impession of Dino was spot on, left behind the rapid of tune change overs..Robert at 68.
Fabulous stuff
Bing was a true Legend and Entertainer! ☺😍🙏
Great stuff
"do Gene Kelly, its the same key"......The shade
Love Bing and Rich
omg carol channing by bing is the best part
Listen to Dean doing "If I Could Sing Like Bing."
a great singer and the king of impersonators, what classic stuff - sad that something like this would never get off the ground now. (PS that isn't bing impersonating, it's obviously lip synced - probably Rich imitating) :)
6:41 for the surprise bring Crosby ever gave the world.
except that it wasn't him singing, they dubbed in that voice
Rich Little got so lucky, normally with someone who can do great expressions you can know ho are but I struggle with little Bing class.
Bing aged and stayed ageless.
Vaya voz...
Ask yourself .......... why don't they have shows like this today~?~ What's NOT to like?!?!?!
My best guess is we don't have the same type of versatility in entertainment. I am also going to be as bold to say, not the caliber of entertainment we grew up with. IMHO, I tend to think this could be the reasoning for the continuous onslaught of "talent shows", and a few of the other ridiculous reality shows which have aired forever. Cheaper than real talent. 😪
Real entertainment
they sure don't make them like this anymore....I miss those days. And Bing did a great Jerry Lewis at the end !!
Bing detested Jerry, and for good reasons.
Sorry, it wasn't Jerry Lewis that he was impersonating. He was impersonating Carol Channing.Rich Little was very well known to impersonator her. And I think he was just lip syncing to Rich Little doing her and then they played it, and Bing lip sync to Rich Little's impersonation.
👍👍👍❤❤😂😂😂👍👍👍
rich little looks like steve martin
This was great! TV is a wasteland today. Bing or Sinatra?
I suppose Rich Little will get in trouble for his Al Jolson impersonation.
True artists! Not what todays “ stars” are feeding us now purely and simply garbage!
Bing liked his toupes ...too
He literally try to wear a hat at chance he got haha
Bing keeled over in 77. That thing on his head looks awesome.
"In the key of OJ" at :57 is a reference to Bing's frequent sponsor Minute Maid orange juice. Bing would always deny owning Minute Maid, which was true, but he was a huge stockholder in it, as well as other industries, real estate, and on and on. Wealthy Bing was a tightwad, and when he found out that 2nd wife Kathy made a big donation to the Catholic Church, he took a new look at his will. He left his sons from his first marriage peanuts until they were old, but two of them committed suicide first. Kathy got an allowance from a board of trustees. But she'd get the last laugh in two ways. First, an open casket funeral for the very private Bing, which would have mortified him. Second, Kathy had COIT carpet and drapery cleaners use their Hillsborough mansion for advertising and demonstrations, including Bing's private quarters. A clever way to tell the world she got shafted and - if she believed it - a way to kick a ghost in the ass.
1NOgl It depends what "anything" means. I think she was cute enough for a TV career and summer stock, instead of cranking out babies for a man who was very rich but not exactly a barrel of laughs.
1NOgl You mean Bing's first family; Kathy had nothing to do with that. None of those four boys even made it to 70, they're all dead. I'll tell you something and there's no way you'll believe me. Nobody can read too much; reading's a terrific hobby.
1NOgl I just looked up The Hollow Man; I had never heard of it. I'm not sure why you keep mentioning it. Yes, you did not confuse Bing's first and second families. Also, I'm not sure about the "grabbers" thing that everyone knows. You may exclude me from "everyone" because I haven't a clue. You can explain if you like.
1NOgl Being substantially older than you, that is how I know more about Bing than you, and also having taken a serious interest in popular music longer than you have been extant, especially its two greatest exponents, Bing and Frank. All I know about Hollow are the 2 reviews I read about it the other day. It's about someone who could read the thoughts of others. Riddle me this: If you accuse me of being such a person, are you not claiming the ability to know what I read and what I think? Better yet... let us say buh-bye and move on.
1NOgl Because I admire Bing as a great singer, a thought that went over your head. And let me tell you, it wasn't like climbing Mount Everest.
Armstrong not good.
Talented ..cannot be replaced...But a womanizer and a horrible father...
Show me an entertainer who wasn't flawed in any way. Their PR is so good you don't generally find out until after they died. After all, they are only human.
Two of his four sons from his first marriage thought Bing was a wonderful father.
Bing sounded great but every Rich Little sounds the same. His schtick gets old.
Rich is NOT a very good singing type impressionist is he?
Rich little is awful
Rich Little was awful
