I saw him do something like this with her around 1980 at a tribute on TV to Burt Reynolds... at the end Burt asked her to sing something, she said, "I don't have an accompanist," Lemmon got up out of the audience and said, "I'll play for ya!" sat at the piano, she said, "Can we do 'The Story of Love?' " And so they did. Right on the spot. Until that moment, I didn't even know that he could play.
Yes, I only knew that he could play after seeing him on the Tonight Show. Johnny asked him to play and I was shocked to see that he was such a skilled pianist!
Makes me wish Jack Lemmon had sung a bit more in his movies...or at all. He did sing a duet with Judy Holliday in "It Should Happen to You," but even that was truncated. I think he may have made an "LP' album, though. And Dinah S. sounded greeat. Thanks for posting.
American composer George Gershwin and his lyric writing bother Ira composed "They cant take that away from me". American composer Irving Berlin wrote the music and lyrics of Cheek to Cheek.... Ahhhhh those Great American songwriters. We will never see the likes of them again, and most were Jewish immigrants.
Two icons from a time that we will never ever see again Ever PERIOD !!!!!
You'll Never Ever see anything like this ever again, PERIOD!!!!!
ASTONISHING! WHAT?! Mr. Jack Lemmon was amazing!!
The man was SO skilled! (He was an autodidact pianist!) and Dina, what an amazing voice, charm snd swing!!
And I just found out he never had a lesson ! Totally self taught! Awesome!
never knew jack lemmon could play piano before this. my favorite actor.
These old clips are awesome. As a kid I watched the Dinah Shore show on occasion. Never did know Jack played piano. Thanks for sharing this.
What an extraordinarily talented guy Jack really was ....
That he was!
@@borisepshteinAlso the lovely Dinah Shore !!!!!
3:08 he was so effortlessly charming even in his blunders, how can anyone not love him.

Jack Lemmon is the best example to me.
My god I simply love him so much! Can't explain
Great example entertainment needn't be perfect to be fun ! Two great talents enjoying each other's company .
I remember Jack Lennon's son used to play the piano on the FOX show OPEN HOUSE.
Finding this video really made my day...off to buy A Twist Of Lemmon :-)

He is amazing!!!
He was so cute. I don't know how a girl could be around him without wanting to wrap her arms around him.

Two class acts.

Wonderful!

Davvero bravo e talentuoso.
Adorable.
Heard him in an interview say he never learned to read music!
I read he was self taught and played several other instruments as well.
@@maristella287 I read Jack Lemmon's father taught him to play piano

Grandissimi!
La prima canzone però non è "Shall we dance" ma "They cant't take that away from me"
“They can’t take that away from me” is a song from the Astaire and Rogers movie “Shall We Dance”.
What's up. Terrific! null promise What do you think, guys... 1!
Art Carney and Clint Eastwood are also good pianists. Jack also had a decent singing voice.
