- Welcome! These clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital many from the 70's, 80's and 90's. SADLY, I DON'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL AIR DATES! There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy.

No pitching, pocketing or auto-tune, just pure talent.
Nobody has...and nobody ever will, sing Tomorrow better than Andrea at any age
Ever ( but they were ALL precious :)!!!!. Is anyone else balling, watching this?
lila crawford 💯
Iconic
@@jopanacopanacalamicha9104 Not with that bernie sanders accent they made them use
💯
I love how she sings “CLEARS away the cobwebs and the sorrow” ...it’s so distinct and just bowls me over every time.
I know right! Truly amazing! ❤️
Yesss!!!
She nails it all
Yesss you have a beautiful ear for noticing that!
look at how relaxed her face is. ZERO tension anywhere even, what a professional
Where the heck is her Tony? One of the best Broadway belters ever. So clear and concise. You can hear every word and note perfectly. Love her later on playing “Girl of Tomorrow” in the Disney rendition. A role mar famous by Laurie Hope Beechman. A Broadway force.
She absolutely should have won the tony for what she brought to theater with her performance
She sang this song better than anyone else who ever played Annie.
Andrea McCardle will forever be the yardstick that all others are judged by. Outstanding Voice.
ANDREA HAD THAT THING THATS CALLED " THE IT FACTOR"
ITS SO CLEAR EVERY TIME SHE SINGS THIS AT ANY AGE IT SOUNDS THE SAME. THATS TALENT
In 1981 before the show there was wide speculation that Andrea would be unable/unwilling to perform as she was struggling with the high notes. As everyone can she she totally nails her performance, which explains the audience reaction mid song at 0:48.
why was she struggling? does anyone know?
Your comment made this even more magical. Thank u!
Anthony Mauro she was four years older than when she played the role, which might not seem like a lot but most of our voices change significantly between 13 and 17/18 years old, speaking and singing and it impacts how one might handle the high notes of a difficult song. Andrea’s voice actually changed for the better in some ways, her vibrato “smoothed out” as I’ve heard it described, but it naturally deepened a bit. She may have had to do some training to hit those notes and maintain that powerful belt.
“Speculation Andrea would be unwilling/unable to perform as she was struggling with the high notes.” Total jealousy and misogyny right here. If she didn’t hit a note in rehearsal, who cares? The audience didn’t applaud because she got through her “struggles.” They applauded because she was fantastic. No one would ever make a comment like this on a fantastic Michael Crawford appearance. They would just say how amazing the Phantom was. Men just have to tear down women even when they think they are praising them.
@@ravenel2 Single?
Andrea should have won the tony award! She sings this song better than anyone that I’ve ever heard!
Well she was nominated for Annie but her co-star Dorothy Loudon won that year.
She was not going to beat Dorothy Loudon for the award. Not a chance. Dorothy easily got the best reviews of the whole show and her reward was well earned. Listen to her sing "Little Girls" on the original cast recording. Her line "Someday I'll step on their freckles!!!" was one of the funniest lines of a song in Broadway history largely because of Dorothy's delivery.
Yes!
@@Quartzquiz333 but she wasn't the leading role. She should have been nominated for supporting role. The show was called "Annie"
@Snopes Shop Blame the show's producers. Back then, actors were nominated for Lead and Featured Actor/Actress awards based on if their name was placed before or after the title. Andrea and Dorothy's names were both billed before the title, hence the competition. Besides, The Tony nominating committee was not known for consistency. Nominating William Daniels for Featured Actor instead of Lead for 1776 is a glaring example. Sadly he was billed UNDER the show's title, hence why he got shortchanged.
Here after Fil of Wings of Pegasus did his analysis in May 2024. First time hearing this version. Great doesn’t do it justice!
Me too, just discovering. Loved the audience’s spontaneous mid-song ovation around 0:45
Just like Judy owns 'over the rainbow' , no other artist can ever lay claim to '...tomorrow' , other than our Andrea.
Her version is untouchable. Pure, powerful, unselfconscious and brilliant.
Brings back such warm memories of that musical. She will always be THE ‘Annie’.
Best Annie, hands down.
That one hand up like she's still holding onto Sandy with the other. 💖💖💖
Yup, it's probably muscle memory from years of ending the song holding onto Sandy's leash.
Every time I hear her sing this I get chills!
SPECTACULAR VOICE! I remember when the upcoming new Saturday morning cartoons were coming out in the 70s, and she sang a rendition of Come Saturday Morning on a promo for the cartoons on a Friday night, with different words, that was outstanding. I've been looking for it for years.
The talent is so raw. Pitch perfect, controlled vibrato, total connectedness throughout passagios. Wow, to have been alive when this was broadcast
Was also thrilled to see Fil of Wings of Pegasus analyze this video. This performance deserves to be known and enjoyed forever.
I agree. Each time I listen to Andrea sing I tear up. I listened to her sing Tomorrow and Maybe more than a gazillion times as a child on my record player. I couldn't get enough. Then Over the Rainbow in the Judy Garland story. I am so happy she is still singing. Her voice is amazing and she deserves all the happiness she can get with the beauty she has put out into this world and the dreams she created in the hearts of young kids everywhere back in those early years. xoxo Andrea!
I love Andrea McArdle.
A gift. Her voice is an absolute gift to all who hear it.
Best version ever. Just her voice. Very little arrangement. Excellent.
She gave me chills! Amazing
Andrea McArdle has always been My FAVORITE “ANNIE”-Forever and Always‼️🎶🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏆🙏🏼🎭🎶🎵
0:46 - They like me! They really like me!
hahaha she definitely seemed to enjoy that moment and who can blame her. she’s nailing it and she knows it.
Saw her in Rainbow 🌈 the Judy Garland story years ago never forgot her voice she is absolutely amazing Thank God for giving her such a wonderful talent and allowing her to share with us. So thank Andrea from a fan in Ireland 🇮🇪 🙌
Powerful voice.
Just watched the 1999 Annie and was so moved by the "NYC" Broadway stage singer that I had to look her up. and look what I found :)
Yes it was nice they gave her that moment in the movie version
always brings me to tears
She is and always will be the best Annie singing this song!
No one will ever sing it like her
She was 100% the best Annie.
Thanks for your great performance in "Annie"..Ms.McArdle.
An absolutely amazing and beautiful performance! 😊👍🎸
Best Annie ever right here👩🏼🦰
PERFECTION, AT IT'S BEST!!!!
Her voice was like a bell
You better SANG Andrea McArdle! 💝
She is amazing.
The best...PERIOD.
I love this video of my favorite actress Andrea McArdle the original Annie my favorite musical of all time in 1977 and I still have the CD of the musical and the movie with Aileen Quinn!!! I love it!!! Thanks so much for posting this video!!! I love it!!! I love the 70s!!! Can you dig it!!!!
Aileen Quinn is my favourite Annie! But Andrea McArdle is my favourite singer as Annie.
Andrea McArdle was the best Annie hands down. What's funny is that, since my real life name is Andrea, a teacher that I had known since I was in 2nd grade who was the chorus teacher (and directed a bunch of plays/musicals) would call me Andrea McArdle because of this actress. :)
Pure voice
Always #1
wow, what a belt!!
Wow!
People realizing she still has the goods
I love it it's so much better than I thought 1977 would be there in about few feel like flash back past life look back at movie maze party oasr awesome picture awards TCM hollywood netflix original email money made into store story about how to get the best way magic of the same place
I love history home Hollywood her
❤️❤️❤️
I saw it in 1979 I think Shelley Bruce had replaced her. I paid 7.50 for an orchestra seat. Golden days of Broadway before GREED took over.
She should've been in the 1st movie.
She was too old by the time the movie came out
I did at 13 years old almost aulditioned
This Is the versión in the film the Adams family 2,great and beautiful version
If she had the role for the original movie, in my opinion, she would be better.
She was the best Annie but she had grown up too much when the movie was made.
She was 19, the movie was filmed a year after this video. There's no way.
Blue
Andrea walked so lilly Crawford could run
Jill burgreen
Rick shroder
Sorry I meant to call her Andrea not Annie so so sorry !
Annie home house Hollywood intrvew documentary Review New year's
Her or Lilla Crawford? Who you got?
Lilla’s great but Andrea owns this
How old is she here
About 17.
Bit old for Annie but great voice
It was a showcase of best performances by females of the past. She was 17 here but was 13 when she played Annie.
She’s the original. This was just her coming back for nostalgia a few years later.
My wife and i have arguments over this one. I say that Andrea is the better singer in Annie and my wife says it's Aileen. Yes Aileen has a great voice but Andrea belts it out PLUS even though she is 2 years older than me i had a HUGE crush on her...i win
Andrea was the best Annie but in Rainbow she will never compare to the young Judy Garland ! Annie was in annie in 1977 a great job she did Rainbow Movie 1978 made for TV but she was not really Judy Garland even Judy Davis and that other person could not compare to Judy but the best acting was in Me and My Shadows when Tammy Blannche played the young Judy and Judy Davis as the older Judy but none of them could sing thats why they used Judys voice ! In the Andrea and newer version the women both sang in their own voices but no one will compare to the real Judy Garland !
Talented performer but it appears she's a particularly nasty person off-stage after hearing about her on KIRO Radio's Tom and Curly Show.
what happened?
@@auspicious93 Sorry, I can't remember the story. It' may have been an instance where she was rude to John Curly off-stage at a show.
@@LorenzoNW aw, that's too bad--she SEEMS like a nice person!
You can’t remember and she might have been rude to this one dude, so you say she’s a “particularly nasty” person? LOL. Her reputation is exactly the opposite, she has decades in the business and tons of people who say she’s lovely. It’s likelier the dude she was rude to deserved it.
The best Annie ever. Ariana grande has nothing on her. Not even close. Actually Ariana is horrible in comparison
Omg Ariana Grande can’t even compete with Andrea McCardle!
Why attack another singer to show how great she is
