So sad that most of the younger generation will never have the ability to appreciate how marvellous these wonderful musicals from the 20s to the 70s were.
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down, these two great entertainment giants are worth a like just for the sheer amount of years they have been in the business and for the happiness they gave.
Margaret, after I left the Army I went to Uni In Hull. Howard Keel was performing there but for some ridiculous reason I couldn't go. Boy, do I regret that. Fantastic singer.
Magic! Two top performers perfectly in harmony. Howard Keel was so good in those musical films back in the day - a guarantee of top entertainment in that particular cinematic genre. These songs are a great reminder of his vocal talent.
The voices fuse together surprisingly well. Howard Keel was a star of musical theatre who could probably have managed without a microphone whereas Val Doonican had a lighter voice. In this medley they sound like a double act, but maybe Mr Keel is holding down his volume a little.
Never heard of Val Doonican, but he's a good singer. I'm amazed that Howard Keel still looked and sounded great even in his sixties. He looked like he could walk into a room full of women and even the young ones would say, "who's that?". So many stars of his generation like Marlon Brando, Clark Gable and John Wayne seemed to fall apart in middle age. Poor Errol Flynn looked terrible in his 40s. never made it past 50.
@@Fedderchini I'm American and have never been to Britain. To my knowledge, Doonican never appeared much (if at all) on American television nor did he record a song that charted in the USA. Howard Keel on the other had performed both in the USA and in the UK.
I'm watching and listening totally mesmerized. In true amazement and astonishment. Giving this video a second play. I'll save this page and keep returning here from time to time. The bridge starting at 3:09 is utterly precious. I'm speechless.
"Oh, what a beautiful day". from Oklahoma is a great song, a great to see Howard Keel again. For a more recent version from about 20 yrs ago look up Hugh Jackman singing it on the West End, London. Brilliant version too. He was my favourite Curly.
Soo, soo happy 'Spring' has truly arrived ..., with these true best friends........,
What a delight to listen to Val and Howard sing, both have such lovely voices....sigh!
I met Howard many years ago what a gentleman was very kind to me bk then and helpful to me what a voice he had I've never forget how kind Howard was x

Two magnificent gentlemen as well as superb vocal talents. Real men's men. What do we have now?
Nothing quite like these gents!
All we have now is terrible male pop singers who sing like little girls. Even the male opera singers have declined badly, esp tenors.
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down, these two great entertainment giants are worth a like just for the sheer amount of years they have been in the business and for the happiness they gave.
There are perverse people in the world who can only feel better by putting others down.
@@PrincessGold1 yes, here in NZ we call it "The Tall poppy Syndrome"

Absolutely beautiful now that's what you call talent unlike all this head banging noise you hear now
I love them both just so great

Thank goodness for you tube. It’s great to see these wonderful entertainers.
Met Howard Keel at a charity weekend for the NSPCC at the Jarvis Piccadilly hotel around 2003. He was a lovely man and could still sing

GOD---Howard is superb.---That incredible voice & what a personality.
From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan.
Fabulous voice of Howard Keel… 👍
We were spoiled years ago with these super fabulous stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wonderful contrasting voices. And very nice men too
Where has that wonderful old music gone?
I love Val Doonican ❤ 2:10
Two fine voices:
Doonican (baritone)
and Keel (bass-baritone).
The voices fuse together surprisingly well. Howard Keel was a star of musical theatre who could probably have managed without a microphone whereas Val Doonican had a lighter voice. In this medley they sound like a double act, but maybe Mr Keel is holding down his volume a little.
Howard keel beautiful singer actor... Long before my time but my dad loved him singing and my mom just loved him so I always enjoyed him...
These 2 giants of showbiz are so good together
Tonight I have learned of Val Doonigan. Where you been hiding...this wonderful entertainer?
He was huge, had his own show, but gone a while now. A different era.
Loved Howard Keel, and just sublime with Val Doonican!
Brilliant
loved Howard keel 😚

NEVER HEARD OF ?? WHAT THE HELL ?

@@joep8787 Enjoy him - there's lots of him to watch on TH-cam thank goodness. Echoes of some great times.
@@joep8787 That's a pity. We saw lots of him on Australian television. You got short-changed!
Val Doonican is originally from Waterford City Ireland. We are very proud of him.
Dad intoduced me to Mr Howard Keel when he showed SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS on home screen...
I was a bit surprised that Val could 'keep up' with Howard Keel voice wise, he was not too far behind.
His timing was perfect.

MET HIM..GREAT GUY..JE
Two classic guys.
Magnificent ❤️😎
What a class act !!!
Music.. To my ears xxxxx
Val coming in a little late on 3.15 and Howard lets him know but apart from that, perfect.
"Oh, what a beautiful day". from Oklahoma is a great song, a great to see Howard Keel again. For a more recent version from about 20 yrs ago look up Hugh Jackman singing it on the West End, London. Brilliant version too. He was my favourite Curly.
Classic... Xxx
From the time when you had to have talent to get on tv
Amazing talent
What ever happened to entertainment like this we need some cheering up these days
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx awesome
These two men are great 👍 comedians together ❤️ 2:27
We just don't have this now.
Binge watching Val with guest(s). Howard Keel and Harry Secombe would have sounded great together
Whatever happened to good television?
We were just saying the same thing.
I'm guessing there was budgets for such shows when there were only a few TV stations
Reality shows have taken over
A different era when you could understand the words
Certainly wish he was my secret love
Remember when she was 'Peggy' always trying to be a yellow coat on Hi-de-Hi.
Howard Keel had as great voice.
Bvt
Keel looks like Brucie on steroids!
❤❤
