Knew him in his later years, he and his last wife Betty.. they lived in Las Vegas. I used to go to his house and he was STILL riding a tall chestnut horse on his small mini-ranch (maybe an acre or so). He was still in demand in the UK and Australia.. people don't seem to forget as fast there. He died in Las Vegas about 2003, and did not want visitors to the hosp because they would remember him as a sick man... Great guy.
He was a unique, friendly, outgoing person... I liked him very much.
Guy Mitchell and Frankie Laine have been my all-time favorite singers since my sophomore year in High School in 1951, about a month apart. Guy with My Truly, Truly Fair, Frankie with Rose, Rose I Love You. They, along with the beautiful girl I was wed to in 1955, made the 50's my favorite decade.
Both Petula Clark and Guy Mitchell seem to have a natural, wonderful chemistry performing this tune together. Also great timing!
Miss Clark sure was a looker back in the day....She certainly blossomed since her Huggett days. Great to see Guy Mitchell too.
PETULA CLARK IS FOREVER BEAUTIFUL.❤
With THE Best ever female voice to go with those Amazing looks.❤
Having viewed many of his videos, and his great songs, Guy Mitchell, was truly a fantastic talent. The 50s and 60s were a great time for music!
LUCKY ME!! STUMBLED ON THIS FROM 1960!!!!
Bring me back to the 60's!!
Nice to hear from someone who knew Guy. He was my idol in the early fifties when I was a teenager. I still remember the words to most of his early songs. Me and my mates would walk to school singing them. Sadly I never got to see him in concert in the U.K. but You tube brings back the happy days.
I doubt there are many people who realize how very popular Guy Mitchell once was. Well, HE WAS!
isukaman my shoes are made for walking
He wasn't much of a singer but he had a knack for recording catchy tunes--'Truly Fair' was my all-time favorite at age 6.
I have been a fan since I was a teenager in the fifties, growing up in Scotland. Even saw him in concert. Balcony of course, cheap seats.
But he was big in the U.K.
When I emigrated to the U.SA. It was the sixties. I asked around, and few people knew him.
But many searches in Used Record Stores, finally I hit pay dirt. And got one of his Greatest Hits. I still have it. I copied it to tape, to protect my Vinyl copy. Still love his fun music. And have him on my Amazon Music App.
BACK AT 85 & NO LESS CHARMED!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your memories of what seems to be an incredible guy..I just discovered him because I live in Pittsburgh and a friend sent me the song he did about that great pawn shop here! I can't get over the charisma that radiates !! He would knock them out today..clearly a born entertainer! Thanks so much!
My favorite song for my grandchildren...thanks
Great stuff. He is still remember by lots of us.
😘💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕Petula
excellent nostalgia! Many thanks, littleshoemaker.
OMG the crush I used to have on him. Great singer!
Underrated!!
Love it
I actually saw this show on t.v. on 29 Feb 1960 (in Whitby, N. Yorks). I remember being shocked because it was obvious that Mitchell was pissed.
You'll be wanting to get "Whispering Smith" the complete TV series 3-dvd set starring Audie Murphy, bacause Mitchell co-starred as fellow detective George Romack. It was a western series filmed in 1959-60, but not broadcast until 1961, mainly due to Guy breaking his shoulder in a fall from a horse! Talk about "Singing The Blues"!
Interesting to see the question, 'What is a Zee', from ILiveOnMyBoat. I no longer live on mine. Although, to be honest, I didn't exactly own mine, just 'assisted' in helping it across the oceans before taking it home to the UK. That brings me full circle, (a 'great' one, for any other nautical readers) to the answer. An American 'Z', it's as simple as that. On the 'musical front', my Pet, singing ANYTHING, is always 'music to my ears'! This one is no exception and that 'Guy' isn't bad either!
British t.v was guilty in not preserving their videos,due to the cost.Ironically at the same time for example Germany preserved a 1961 b and w video with Peter Alexander.
The song is "Hannah Lee". That is also the name of the girl in the song.
Aha!!
If you have any other Guy Mitchell Show episodes please post!
what year is it, Petula been about a lot longer than i realised, great clip thanks
I never thought of it before, but outside of the USA, saying "zee" at the end of the alphabet would sound strange. You have to sing it that way, though, in order for the words to rhyme correctly.
+hebneh it is actualy zed.
that was his point...
I think he got rather too close to our Pet!
I wonder why he just all of a sudden vanished? Big star and then NOTHING.
First Petula Clark song that I have heard that I don't care for, although her singing was fine. Guy Mitchell was a little too schmaltzy for my taste.
