Rosemary Clooney was one of the first old stars I ever really loved, plus more than you know was the first vintage old song I came to love. it's what got my listening to and enjoying the type of music I enjoy today!
There is a tremble in her voice, from understanding the lyrics and, well, living life. They called Rosemary and others from the Big Band era "Girl Singers," which was not a put down believe me. But here, and in so many other songs, she is a "Girl Crooner" like Crosby, Sinatra, Garland and so many others.
The reason that I became a fan of George Clooney is because he was her nephew. Her voice made you feel the lyrics. So soulful. I remember when I was a teenager in the 70's she advertised Coronet paper towels. My father screamed at the t.v., "The world has gone to hell when you have whispy-voiced Olivia Newton-John winning singing awards and Rosemary Clooney is stuck peddling paper towels!" I was a bit horrified to realize that I liked the same singer as my father.
She well deserved that great ovation. Tonight: first time I hear this. I'll be back for sure. She sang with so much emotion that it made me wonder if she was reminiscing.
A great version of a lovely old tune by wonderful performer, but speaking of this tune only, I don’t think she quite reaches the heights reached by Ella.
She owned it...
she lays it down right... no frills and no gimmicks... hooray!
Such a rich emotive voice.
chills, she gives me chills every time.
I'm kinda grateful that there's no one here, at the moment, to see the tears that she brings to my eyes,
This is impeccably dressed with a full orchestra singing all hits. Her concerts were beautiful

This is what they call an Ah song. After the first "More than You Know" everyone goes Ah!

Beautiful. You know what? The older one gets, the more it resonates. She sung with such feeling. Bless her.......
Indeed. B.A.N.
She sang like a real woman who has lived life....it’s all there in the phrasing
Like being in heaven.We love you rosemary!

Yes. Went from good to great. The older she got.
I love all her songs. She gave us so much joy, and I will always miss her smile. Thank you for sharing this one.

Such class never goes out of style.
She was one of a kind.

Nearing the end...or NOT!

Looks lip-synced to me
loniousmonk It wasn't. She was just really that good! 🌾
loniousmonk that comment shows how little you know about Rosemary 🙄
Her mature womanly voice is so charming singing this. The orchestra is splendid as well. Toward the end of her life she got up to almost 400 pounds.
