A beautiful salute to Ireland. Makes me smile and proud that I am 1/4 Irish. A large portion of my mother’s maternal family is Irish. Both sets of my mother’s maternal grandparents were Irish immigrants and my great-grandfather’s mother was also Irish. My maternal ancestral lineage hails from the Irish counties of Dublin,Kerry,Armagh, and Donegal.
Rosemary looks stunning! Very elegant very beautiful. Her hair and makeup Is just so different than what I have seen..she’s usually looking girl next door and here she is just perfection!
Lovely to see more of Rosemary Clooney. Please upload the beautiful performance of Danny Boy by The McGuire Sisters. And please: more Connie Francis clips!
I wish I had one of those blackthorn shillelagh like Sullivan and Rooney are holding. Those are the real thing! Those are great walking sticks and weapons if need be. What a wonderful performance, and thank you so much for sharing it just before St. Paddy's Day, when everyone is Irish if only for a day! 🍀
I love to celebrate every holiday even if I'm not of that heritage. For Saint Patrick's Day 🥳 It gives me a reason to drink green beer! 😄Cheers to you ! 🍻 ☘Happy Saint Patrick's Day!☘
Rosemary was NOT on Broadway at the time. The one and only time Rosie ever appeared on Broadway was at the Uris Theatre in 1976 as part of “BING CROSBY & FRIENDS”
@@bettyhein5784You are correct. I mixed it up 😮 It was Olivia De Havilland who was starring on Broadway in "A GIFT OF TIME" opposite HENRY FONDA. They did a scene from the play on this Sullivan episode. Sorry for the error. NOTE: Surprisingly, Maureen O'Hara also made only one Broadway appearance in the short-lived "Christine" in 1960.
Fun segment. My Irish gg grandparents hailed from Munster, co cork. Both families were evictions in late 1880’s. Don’t know details. Locals Boherbue. Carrigaline, Ballynahulla, Ballybunion….still filling in this side. I know more about my Scottish side than Irish. Have always loved Irish music.
While most people would know that the words of Danny Boy were put to the tune of The Derry Air, they would likely not be aware that the original music was called O'Cahan's Lament. It was composed by a blind harpist named Rory Dall O'Cahan (Blind Rory) a member of the O'Cahan clan, who lived sometime between 1560 and 1660. The confiscation of the O'Cahan lands in the early 1600s by the English enraged Blind Rory, whose people had lived on those lands for generations, and it drove him to write the deeply moving tune of pain and passion. He claimed that he fell asleep under a tree while drunk and that he heard the little people playing it to him in his dreams. Another blind musician Jimmy McCurry was playing O'Cahan's Lament on his fiddle during fair day in Limavady County Derry in 1851, when he was overheard by Jane Ross a local woman who collected Irish airs. She paid Jimmy the princely sum of a florin to play the tune repeatedly until she had taken it down. It became The Derry Air and while there is a plaque in Limavady to commemorate Jane Ross poor Jimmy McCurry is buried in an unmarked grave in a graveyard nearby Ballykelly.
Rosemary also got a chuckle from the hot mess that came from Ed & Pat trying to synchronize their lines. When the video shifted to them to get ready to sing I thought, "Hang on because this is going to be a bumpy ride!". :)
Maureen O'Hara sings just as beautiful as she has always looked!🤔😱🤗🥰
Maureen! I love her. I have a gorgeous 8x10 color photograph signed by her. Cherished possession. ❤️
My mother named me Maureen, since I have Redhair.
@@moemcgovern7345 And they performed this on my fourth birthday on March 11 1962. 😀
@@jillkjv3816 were you born in 1958? i was born in 2006, a big age difference but a good taste in music haha
@@wolfieafo Yup. :) Good taste is timeless.
Love this. More Rosemary Clooney please!
AMEN! Love her, adorable personality with gorgeous voice!

Beautiful singing and solid vocal harmonizing by Misses O'Hara and Clooney on "Danny Boy"!
I Love Ed Sullivan!! 💚 What a guy!
Cheers to you ! 🍻
Beautiful...
☘ Happy Saint Patrick's Day to All!! ☘
Look good , thanks!!!❤
Man oh man, I'm in heaven listening to this! THANKS for posting!
Yes! Rosemary Clooneyyyy
Rosemary looks stunning! Very elegant very beautiful. Her hair and makeup Is just so different than what I have seen..she’s usually looking girl next door and here she is just perfection!
True. Very pretty. My mom & Dad named me after her.
Maureen and Rosemary: 2 thumbs up. Ed and Pat: give them the hook, thank you. You're welcome.
Fantastic, what a magnificent act and beautiful Clooney
Pat Rooney(July 4,1880-September 9,1962)😀👍🏿☘️
If I am not mistaken, I think he was the father of Mickey Rooney!
Aw how I miss these 2 wonderful ladies.
Lovely to see more of Rosemary Clooney. Please upload the beautiful performance of Danny Boy by The McGuire Sisters. And please: more Connie Francis clips!
Great to hear Maureen O'Hara singing again.

And they said all Ed Sullivan did was introduce the acts! Rilly big shoe, Ed!
Rooney was a vaudeville dancer. He passed in September of 1962 at age 82. This is likely the last video footage of him.

This quartet makes me proud to be (1/2) Irish!
I'm what you call a real mixed breed! 😊
@@that70sgirl90 ...also known as a Heinz? (57 varieties)
@@michaeltuz608 I'm proud to be a Heinz 57 (Irish, Russian, Prussian, Austrian, and more). And I loved this clip!
@@michaeltuz608 You could say that. Maybe minus 2 or 3!! 😄
On St. Patty's Day there are only 2 kinds of people. You got your Irish and those that wish they were Irish!
Preview picture had the wrong year (1969 instead of 1962).
Thank you. I thought 1969? Looks more like 1959!
Obviously, Rosemary Clooney was a terrific singer, but I had no idea Maureen O'Hara had such a good singing voice.
She studied voice as well as acting. Her mother was an operatic singer.
Watch Maureen sing "Come Back to Erin" which was also uploaded on this channel, it's fantastic.
A lovely surprise to hear Maureen sing she's a lovely voice,and it's lovely to hear Rosemary again.
3:57 = דקות בדיוק, של = מוסיקה איכותית של, פעם !!
בהחלט, שמגיע לביצוע השיר ששמעתי עכשיו, באנגלית = מפי, הזמרת של פעם !!
לכן אתן, לביצוע השיר ששמעתי עכשיו, מפי = הזמרת של, פעם = 10 עשר ומעלה .. ללא ספק, בכך © ]]

Derry, Derry.......it's fucking Derry. Don't know where that other place is.
I guess Danny Boy in an Irish folk song
It"s actually an Irish Love song. ❤
The Harrisons, Morrisons, McDonalds, Morrows, McGarrys, McCoys, Scanlons & McMasters must not reside in Donegal!
Funny that Maureen thought she had a singing voice...You could see she was nervous
She had a lyric singing voice Hear her singing more
