- The great ''girl singer'', Rosemary Clooney (1928-2002), sings two classics from the songs of George & Ira Gershwin. Carnegie Hall, December, 1997.
1. "A Foggy Day" from the 1937 film "A Damsel in Distress"
2. "Our Love Is Here to Stay" from the 1938 film "The Goldwyn Follies"
It is said that the Gershwin brothers took less than an hour to compose "A Foggy Day".
"I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do? What to do? What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
CHORUS
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed,
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London Town
The sun was shining everywhere."
Though it was written for "The Goldyn Follies" (1938), "Our Love Is Here to Stay" is probably best remembered from the 1951 film "An American in Paris".
"It's very clear
Our love is here to stay ;
Not for a year
But ever and a day.
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies,
And in time may go !
But, oh my dear,
Our love is here to stay.
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may tumble,
Gibralter may crumble,
They're only made of clay,
But our love is here to stay."

What a GLORIOUS singer....how we miss that beautiful Lady!.....Wish you were still here!
Rosemary Clooney, One of the Greats!!
Love love Rosie
Rosemary Clooney triumphant. Any person who is a dedicated fan knows that she endured a very difficult stretch in her middle years. So it is a joy to see her in such good form, relating so naturally to her appreciative audience. This is an incredibly beautiful program. So wonderful to come upon it. As for the music, the orchestra is top notch with their rendition of spectacularly well written songs from the 1930s. Q: Have we been able to keep up this standard of excellence in our present day music? Yes, this is a very high mark.
7:23 She was smooth with a very comfortable voice to listen to. I saw her in person with the Artie Shaw Orchestra. This was an outside venue in a park. When she sang “Tenderly “ it was magical.
Thank you Miss Rosemary!!
She still sounds great at her old age
Rosie is a legendary girl singer, a wonderful person who has left a legacy
The sweetest thing of all was that she had a late-career resurgence. I remember seeing her pop up on TV all over the place throughout the late 80s- 90s
I worked with Rosemary in Orlanda, Florida when she was in town for a Gala along with the Rockettes.
many years ago! What a lady! What a voice!
Perfection.
Wonderful
A wonderful lady and a truely marvellous voice.
Incomparable jazz singing. It's gone now.
One of our national treasures.
Amazing voice. Special lady ❤️
What a voice! I love you Rosie
Marvellous.....
What a Class act, A Classy lady..
Rosemary stilled nailed it xxoo
She was always great, but I have a special fondness for her voice later in life. The warmth, the maturity of interpretation are wonderful.
Yes, not so much razmataz. More vulnerable interpretations. I wish I'd gone to see her at the Rainbow Room years ago.
I wish you could find the video of Rosemary on the Boston Pops Christmas program, I loved her voice and the stories she shared with her audience. She was a very funny lady, great timing. That voice is unmatched in her delivery. Miss you Rosemary
I feel the same way. I saw her live 3 times in her later life. I loved her arranger (John Oddo) and her whole band (especially the trumpeter, Warren Vache). It brought out the best in her. And she was also happier. Have you read her autobiography, Girl Singer? Recommended.
Should have mentioned that Oddo was also her pianist. He plays beautifully!
You were my mentor. whether you knew it or not.z~Kathleen Hendrickson.
Thank you for your inspiration whether you knew it or not.Kathleen

i had the pleasure of meeting her a few times.... went to her wedding in Ky about 97.... she is Hollywood in my mind.
Rosemary has got that magic voice xxoo
what can i say that hasn't been said - Wow ! add to it that she's almost 70 years old here, and you see real talent. she is just so musical, so personable. just love her !! thx
Great Rosemary Clooney! RIP!
Rosemary, R.I.P and thank you!
My mentor. Although we never met. She cheered me on. I watched and listened and like her I am at home on the stage. God Bless you~Kathleen Hendrickson
I met her after a concert when her For the Duration album was just released. She was very nice, signed my CD, thanked me for coming to her concert. Kay Starr and Tony Bennett were also very classy and gracious in person.
"Our Love Is Here to Stay" is here to stay! ;-)
Great Rosemary Clooney !
I love her
she's great too
A superb Star! One of the all-time best
beautiful Rosemary
Ladies and gentlemen, the great Rosemary Clooney! :)
This is the first time i've heard all the lyrics since ella did this in 1960
there is really pleasure listening to such voice, i love it
That moment she smiles in the middle of a set as though she remembered some particularly sardonic private joke
I bet she was a nice person got a feeling of that !
what a joy....thank you....cheers!
She's Soooo beautiful and powerful*u*
The one and only Rosie !
Ottima scelta, Bella canzone Grande cantante!!!!!
La grande classe !!!
Merci pour le post !
beautiful, as always...
She is still pretty at this age.

Great backing sound!
amazing!!!!
I remember this performance very well. If you have any more of that evening's performances PLEASE post them. Of special interest to me is "Stairway to Paradise," which is hands down the best version of I have ever seen.
The other piece they is very special was Michael Feinstein's performance of a piece of music that I'm not sure has been recorded. It certainly hasn't been recorded by Michael Feinstein. Unfortunately so many years have now passed that I can no longer remember its name but it was incredibly touching and poignant.
That evening was and is a national treasure in the history of American music.
Thank you for posting great video!
She is my favorite singer.
If you have more clips of same concert, could you please post them?
Liked her better when she was older, heavier, and her voice was deeper.
What is it about Rosie? Is it the inflection? Or the oceans of warmth coming through? Is it rather "the swinging sassy style" words she used to compliment Helen Ward on the stage of the Marriott Marquis in the Benny Goodman tribute, 1985.
james sullivan its the essential blue note in her voice that always comes through but was essential in her later years...tben there is her perfect pitch, always, and the almost minimalist no nonsense approach she mastered ...the song is the thing...I believe every word she tells us....remakable artist !
james sullivan - She didn’t need gimmicks.
james sullivan - She didn’t need gimmicks.
female singers of today: take note. this is how it's done.
Ugh, such an unoriginal, played out, condescending, pretentious comment.
Well, that's the really *important* part. /sarcasm
Ya think? Can't get much past you.
Amen
