Whole lotta greatness up there on that TV screen. Mills Brothers, geniuses of easy jazz. Benny who got a lot (too much?) mileage out of the same jokes. Is anything today capable of being good eighty years after the fact?
Saw these incredible gentlemen in Las Vegas (live) with my grandparents and parents (1960 - I was 8 yrs old and pounding "Shirley Temples" one after the other). Their performance has had a profound effect on my life, even 60 years later!
@@susankennedy5739 I have seen acapella groups perform, but for limited audiences. Unfortunately, there are very few venues where these groups can get national exposure.
@@juanmonge8 True! There was an entire a capella summit in the Bay Area a while back, all kinds of groups giving classes and performing together in a night concert. Maybe it will return. The Pentatonics are a very popular group, for instance!
What an era....music, voices and instruments...lots of them. Wow...I have lots of their music and just crank it whenever I need to feel lost in the vibes music moves of the soul. Bless all of them.
Fabulous Mills brothers love them ever since I watched them with Dean Martin. Dean emulates Harry and they sound brilliant together. Definitely worth finding and watching all the Mills brothers performances
'insulted in harmony'...'used them for hubcaps'...excellent gags! There's another video on TH-cam of the Mills Brothers singing Up A Lazy River with Dean Martin.
Maybe my favorite Mills Bros. performance... ...coincidentally, of my favorite Tommy Dorsey tune. Listen to the special lyrics: If you get all of the references, you are either really culturally literate, really old, or both. (Tangentially, my favorite Don Wilson bit of business.) Benny had the Genius to surround himself with geniuses... Orson Welles, Johnny Carson, and Don Imus had that same Genius. (All True Geniuses understand that, and do it.)
The Mills Brothers were awesome
Thanks for sharing this video!

The Big Seven O For Us This Year Scott !!
I loved these guys. I was a little girl and used to wait in hurried anticipation for them to appear on the Dean Martin show
Jack Benny at his miserly best! Wow what class and talent The Mills brothers!
And he got it at half the price.
Always loved Jack and The Mills Brothers. I'm in heaven. September 2022.
I wish that this kind of singing would come back. It is so much fun.
Takes incredible skill and teamwork -- difficult for today's singers.

“That’s the first time I was ever insulted in harmony”. And what harmony!
"That's the first time I've been insulted in hamony," Jack really squeezes a laugh out of a joke, impeccable timing, patience and delivery.
He didn't want to pay the whole group ...LOL
'insulted in harmony'...'used them for hubcaps'...excellent gags! There's another video on TH-cam of the Mills Brothers singing Up A Lazy River with Dean Martin.
The,best of the best
Jack Benny is the greatest.

@@donnalynch1484 I like how Jack Benny squeezes a joke for the very last laugh even if it's only one, such patience and delivery.
Great straight men for Jack!
Lmbo 😂😂cause he's a cheapskate 😂😂😂

Ahhhhmazing

What classy gorgeous music,... compare it to the absolute perverted garbage that's out today.
Irreplaceable!
Sehr geiler Stoff
Don't care for the JB skit but that was great singing, I think it was "Opus One".
Dang old George was right. Jack is CHEEP‼️
Haha
The Mills Brothers are amazing but they're clearly lip synching here.
Ruined by canned laughter
