Is anyone else here in 2023....swooning to the exquisite grace, power, and wonderful talent of Jeremy Brett...oh!- how you are missed Jeremy!..hope you are entertaining them in Heaven Twiggy is superb also💜🌈🌞
Loved Jeremy when I first came upon the Sherlock Holmes series. Such a lovely speaking and singing voice…but did you know that Jeremy was born “tongue-tied”. I’m not too sure on the medical aspect, but he had surgery (eventually) to correct it and every day of his life; there after; performed vocal exercises without fail.
My mother saw Jeremy singing in the stage version of 'My Fair Lady' - she thought he was wonderful and was so disappointed when his voice was dubbed for the film. Years later, we both watched him as Holmes and we both fell in love ... her for the second time
He was a superb singer and a romantic leading man who, initially did not want to portray Sherlock Holmes. He was a very handsome man and Twiggy is beautiful here. He had a childhood illness that left scarring of the heart valves, leading to an enlarged heart and to his early death. He was the greatest Holmes ever, insisted on keeping to Conan Doyle's dialogue in the stories. He left behind a body of work as Holmes that will never be surpassed.
Thank you for that information. I became a fan of his when I discovered his Sherlock Holmes, a few years back. I've been looking for his work and as so impressed with his talent. So sad that he is gone and was gone, too soon.
God, he was a stunning singer. He would have made an incredible "Phantom Of The Opera" in Lloyd Weber's show. His beautiful face would have been hidden, but his power, grace, and leopard-like sensuality, along with his gorgeous voice, would have blown everybody else off the stage. I have no doubt every woman in the audience would have ended up on the floor. I know I would have. I wish he'd had the chance to do it. Just thinking about what might have been.................love you, Jeremy.
He would have made a great Phantom Of The Opera. He was a great actor. His performance as Sherlock Holmes proves that. I watch it regularly. The acting is superlative. He had to literally drain out his own ebullient personality to portray this dark and eccentric character. That really took some doing. It it so brilliant, that I almost believe that he existed. David Burke and Edward Hardwick actually looked like Victorian gentlemen. They did not have as much to say, but their acting was brilliant. In real life, Jeremy was a really charming man. The difference between him and Holmes is remarkable.
Robert was fine. They are just totally different people. Like saying Van Gogh isn't as good as Vermeer. Jeremy was the best Holmes, and will probably never be beaten.
My classmates and most of my teachers all knew I was a Sherlock fanatic and had read all the books, watched every portrayal from Basil Rathbone to Basil of Baker Street. My art teacher saw me leave the theater showing RDJ's first Sherlock movie and asked "How was it?" I replied, "Great effort! But Jeremy Brett is still the best"
@@slyph63 yes Edward that shocked me too!...we have some with baftas with zero talent....Jeremy Brett had it all, brilliant actor, with such a range of talent, handsome, humble, and with great complexity, and emotional intelligence.!!!
WHY oh WHY did Britain never Knight Sir Jeremy? They knighted David Suchet for being the ultimate Hercule Poirot. Since Jeremy Brett is HANDS DOWN the only Sherlock Holmes worth mentioning, BRITAIN, please KNIGHT Jeremy Brett POST HASTE!!!!!
I'm late to the party, but even Sherlock Holmes couldn't solve the mystery of why Brett didn't have a Sir in his name. Sherlock Holmes himself was not the Sherlock Holmes Jeremy was.😊
His singing is so beautiful I wish he'd recorded an album of traditional songs or something. It's not just that he has a good voice and an attractive timbre which he does... but his enviable diction in ordinary speech carries into his singing and his phrasing is, as a consequence, exquisite. Add to that a natural talent for emoting and he's really perfect for this type of music, and needless to say this is my favorite rendition of the song "she moves through the fair." ^_^
The second scene was my favorite! sigh! I always thought he moved like a dancer in Sherlock Holmes but it was SO nice to see him waltz in this clip! gorgeous man!
Jeremy siempre vivirá en nuestros corazones,las obras maestras perduran a través de los tiempos, Jeremy demostró ser una persona de alto nivel,en todos los aspectos de su corta pero valiosa vida,desde donde estés Jeremy, recibirás siempre el cariño de los que admiramos tu buen hacer ,.
'Exquisite' is the best word I can find for Mr. Brett; he carefully doesn't overwhelm his co-star, but his skill is still evident. Never thought much of Twiggy before this; how pleasantly surprising to see more than a cute name and underfed figure.
Yes,I know. But that does not make him less lovable. I, too, have a place for him in my heart. The fact remains,that we will not able to meet him anyway...
@@Hithere-ek4qt he was bisexual he first married Anna Massey in 1958 then when they divorced he got into a relationship with Gary Bond then whilst in a relationship with Paul Shenar he married Joan his second wife
@@Hithere-ek4qt Look it up, Jeremy William Huggins didn't mind it both ways. He was married twice and devastated when his second wife passed away. And sure he had boyfriends. He was Bi, not just for the ladies or the guys, but both.
The beloved Jeremy Brett!! Best Sherlock Holmes ever, lovely facial expressions (see The Ferryman when he's being interviewed), and a beautiful voice to boot......
@@angelaowens2911 , I so agree!! He was such an exquisite man, and extraordinary as Holmes. I adore the way he feels so much sincere emotion in 'she moves through the fair' - utterly beautiful in every possible way.
Wow! I did not know that Jeremy Brett could sing like this. OrTwiggy for that matter. Just lovely. He certainly was a true Renaissance man. He is greatly missed. Thank you for posting this.
Romantic Jeremy!!! That was a surprise!! From the point blank stare, fine lines running through the curves of his mouth, twitching and curling up of his lips, the dry emotionless expressions given while logically deducting a subject of interest....the genius in this romantic avatar! Worthy of applause👏👏💖💖💖
I am now convinced that no more beautiful man has ever lived. Jeremy should have been one of the greatest leading men of his time. He said he went to Hollywood to become a star and "failed." Of course he was a star anyway, but the fact he wasn't as big as Cary Grant means that it was Hollywood that failed. This must rank as one of Hollywoods biggest failures of all time.
I wish I had met him...rest in peace Sir...you were truly ahead of your time...extraordinary actor wonderful generous person! You will always be remembered!!!!!
I should have been born in England to discover Jeremy Brett sooner. Such wonderful talent. Thank You, thank You, for your commitment with art in so passionate way. If there is an Heaven, You are there pleasing the angels with your voice and performing.
what a lovely voice. I wish they'd let him sing in My Fair Lady! A real shame he isn't with us anymore. He really was one of a kind. He lives on in our hearts :)
They dubbed his voice in My Fair Lady because Brett was a baritone and they wanted a tenor as Freddie. Brett played Higgins on.stage.But they shouldnt have dubbed him
Audrey didnt.have the voice for My Fair Lady because the role needs a soprano .She could sing the Funny Face songs very well but Eliza songs need another style of singer like Julie Andrews. But Jeremy Brett was a better singer and although he was a baritone he could sing the Freddie s songs only in lower keys. .
Of course they did. His voice was no match for Bill Shirley. Also Fred has lied until near his death that he was the one singing in My fair lady. Not exactly a nice person
Oh, my God, he was so....superlative, in every way/ The first song he sings here made me cry. He was just everything....I cannot bear that he is gone. So many thanks for sharing this!
I just love Jeremy's voice so much! He sings like an angel... I'd love to meet him... Sadly, he isn't with us anymore. Now rest in peace dear Jeremy Brett. We will all remember You as the greatest Sherlock Holmes of them all and such a talented singer. We will remember the great man and stunning actor, who didn't win awards, bud instead won hearts of people who watched him act. Fate wasn't kind, but You stood up and standed strong to the end. Now I think I speak for all of Your fans. We can't be more proud of what You did for us. We all love You, Jeremy. Our hearts are with You there, in Heaven. And belive me, that You will never be forgotten. Thank you. ❤

Muy cierto, Jeremy, siempre será amado por las mujeres y hombres que te conozcan.
Beautiful video showcasing Brett's versatile talents. He and Twiggy make a great duo. She sings great, too. They should have done more together. RIP Jeremy, you will always be missed by so many.
In an interview he once said he was disappointed to learn that they would dub his voice. They told him they wanted a younger and higher tenor voice for the part. I think they chose wrongly.
Wow. I mean, WOW. That was very impressive. I normally don't listen to music like that, but it's, you know, JEREMY BRETT. And the duet was AMAZING. They complimented eachother, it was great.
JB is fabulous & along with David Burke, create the zenith of perfection in portraying THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. I just viewed "The Norwood Builder," sensational! Suzanne...Hilo, Hi.
Twiggy seems like a good sport here, nice to see. Years ago, I saw her at Harrod’s, signing autobiographies. She seemed in a cranky mood then. As for JB… you guys have said it all and I agree with all of it.❤
"she moved through the fair"!! i love this song! i was introduced to this song by Celtic Woman! Jeremy is full of surprises! RIP he's truly an artist in every sense!
What a wonderful clip. Thank you for uploading! I was lucky enough to meet Jeremy several times when he was in The Secret of Sherlock Holmes at Wyndhams. I treasure those memories. His voice has a beautiful timbre and he has perfect intonation. I understand why he was dubbed in My Fair Lady, but it's a shame he never made a recording of On the Street Where You Live. I always associate that song with him.
The nearest thing is "Bending the Willow: Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes" by notable Sherlockian Scholar David Stuart Davies. It is not actually a biography, as it focuses mostly on the Granada production, but as Jeremy WAS that production, it has a lot of first hand interviews and interesting tid-bits about him and his life during his years making the show. Sadly, it's incredibly rare and copies sell for stunningly high prices. I wish you the best of luck finding it.
Oh dear. I feel I am very late to the party. I hadn’t even HEARD of Jeremy Brett til a couple of months ago. But here I am watching old shows and series with him in it just because of his Sherlock Holmes! I feel like Rip Van Winkle just awakening from a long sleep. I’ve never been a tv watcher, but it is rather nice to be able to catch these things, when i want on TH-cam. After his Sherlock portrayal and his Max de Winter role, I’m hooked! There’s just something about him..... Very mesmerizing.
jb sings with such passion that it feels like you are their with him!!! jeremy brett is and always be a leagon!! may his work carry on for many years to come!!! ps sorry for spelling!!!
First of all thank you so much for uploading this video...I am a big fan of Jeremy sir's Sherlock Holmes... I think he has set threshold for the next generation actors to play Sherlock Holmes and I think no one has met that point yet... I fall in love with him again and again with every single episode that I watch of Sherlock Holmes... it's very sad that he gone too soon but he'll always stay in our hearts till our last breath...
I found JB only 6 months ago but I have been completely enthralled by his performances and his beautiful singing voice ever since. Too bad I did not get to know him earlier. Thank you so much for posting this, it means so much to me.
I remain mystified that this lovely man, whom I had the pleasure of seeing on stage several times, was not allowed to do his own singing as Freddie Eynsford-Hill in "My Fair Lady."
@AMT yes, the studio didn't like Jeremy Brett's singing voice, so they had a studio singer, Bill Shirley, dub him. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Shirley
@AMT my late partner and I saw Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke recreate their rôles onstage in 1988 in London, in the stage play by Jeremy Paul, "The Secret of Sherlock Holmes." We went to London twice a year for 27 years and pretty much for me these trips were all about the theater. For this particular show, the tickets were present from the woman who was our agent for the short-term holiday flats we rented for many years. Unfortunately, she gave us tickets that were first row center -- unfortunate because there was a fog machine used to recreate 1890s London to which my other half was severely allergic. After the First Act he left, and I finished on my own, while he recovered at a pub off the King's Road in Chelsea, where I met him after the show was over. We also saw him once before that on Broadway in a revival of the Frederick Lonsdale play, "Aren't We All," starring Rex Harrison and Claudette Colbert in the mid-80s. What was particularly interesting about that is that Jeremy Brett replaced the actor John Michael King. John Michael King was the original Freddie Eynsford Hill in the very first production of "My Fair Lady!" That was a lovely evening. The late Lynn Redgrave was also in the play, and the first time I saw her on stage was at age 16 in 1967, in the Peter Shaffer one act plays "Black Comedy" and "White Lies," but that is his story for another day. By the way, "The Secret of Sherlock Holmes" is on TH-cam with Brett and Hardwicke, but not having seen it I can't vouch for the print.
@AMT I was very lucky to have seen Rex Harrison on stage three times. In addition to the Lonsdale play, my other half and I saw him, also with Ms Colbert, in William Douglas-Home's "The Kingfisher," in 1978 when I was 27 years old. Ms Colbert, then 75, was absolutely ravishing, but Harrison's was by far the bigger role. The show is stolen by the great character actor George Rose, playing Harrison's manservant. We also saw Harrison in Maugham's "The Circle," with Glynis John's and Stewart Granger, in Boston.
@AMT Glynis Johns was about 67 or 68 when I saw her in "The Circle." I saw Gielgud on stage twice -- when I was 15 I went with my aunt to see Gielgud in the title role of Chekhov's "Ivanov," co-starring Vivien Leigh (an obsession of mine since age 9, whom I also saw in "Tovarich" when I was 12) at the Colonial Theater in Boston. Ms Leigh was only in the first act as her character dies. I still have my playbill from 56 years ago. Then, in 1988, we went to his final West End show, "The Best of Friends," which is essentially three people reading letters they have written to each other. By then he was in his mid-80s, and although he was marvelous, clearly had issues remembering lines. I have had really a charmed Life as a theater-goer. It wasn't until my 50s did it occurred to me that as a teenager I was very blasé about having seen Vivien Leigh on stage not once, but TWICE. Now I am absolutely marveling that I had such experiences.
Is anyone else here in 2023....swooning to the exquisite grace, power, and wonderful talent of Jeremy Brett...oh!- how you are missed Jeremy!..hope you are entertaining them in Heaven

Grew up watching him as Sherlock Holmes. He is the best Holmes to my mind.
Oh wow! That’s awesome! I didn’t know that Jeremy Brett was in a stage version of My Fair Lady!
@@sagev.5818 Wouldn't it be great to travel back in time to see him? For mum, he was the star of the show even though he wasn't famous then.
@@zaygezunt it really would be great to be able to travel back in time to see Jeremy Brett! She’s very right about that!

Jeremy Brett is a national treasure 🇬🇧. The greatest ever Sherlock Holmes. He should’ve been knighted for his services to acting.
The best Holmes ever!

I agree.......
He would have been the only Phantom as sexy as Ramin Karimloo, and alsoI always said he'd have been an amazing Javert in Les Mis.
Should have played the Phantom in the original production IMO.
I thought about this when i first heard his voice. He sounds like Gerard Butler 😍
Dear kids, this is what talent looks like. Sincerely, everyone.
Excellent 2:01
He has an exquisite voice. He was an incredible actor.
Jeremy was my Sherlock too! People give me a hard time when i pan Robert Downey Jr. but he just doesn't cut it.
Jeremy had Holmes cold!
Robert was fine. They are just totally different people. Like saying Van Gogh isn't as good as Vermeer. Jeremy was the best Holmes, and will probably never be beaten.
Jeremy was Holmes ! The greatest Sherlock ever even the experts agree

What a remarkably talented man was Mr Brett. Sorely underrated as a performer.

What a lovely, lovely man! I love listening to Jeremy Brett sing. What a sad loss for us.
He had such a great voice I'm not surprised... This guy was a great unique talent 😥🙏
Why is Jeremy so damn incredible? WOW. I could listen to him sing all day.
The BEST Sherlock Holmes ever...and I never knew he was singer! ..what a talent that man was.
'Exquisite' is the best word I can find for Mr. Brett; he carefully doesn't overwhelm his co-star, but his skill is still evident. Never thought much of Twiggy before this; how pleasantly surprising to see more than a cute name and underfed figure.
Why would anyone dub a voice that beautiful? He was so talented and is sorely missed.
Well I'm now officially ruined for other men. I don't think there is a living man to compete with Jeremy for my heart.
Well, he preferred men, sorry Crystal.
Yes,I know. But that does not make him less lovable. I, too, have a place for him in my heart. The fact remains,that we will not able to meet him anyway...

What a wonderful clip. Thank you for uploading! I was lucky enough to meet Jeremy several times when he was in The Secret of Sherlock Holmes at Wyndhams. I treasure those memories. His voice has a beautiful timbre and he has perfect intonation. I understand why he was dubbed in My Fair Lady, but it's a shame he never made a recording of On the Street Where You Live. I always associate that song with him.
+beckynahmad I agree Jeremy and Christopher lee as duo would be marvellous.
I envy you
You were lucky to see him Becky.
Oh my god. I love him even more!
The nearest thing is "Bending the Willow: Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes" by notable Sherlockian Scholar David Stuart Davies. It is not actually a biography, as it focuses mostly on the Granada production, but as Jeremy WAS that production, it has a lot of first hand interviews and interesting tid-bits about him and his life during his years making the show. Sadly, it's incredibly rare and copies sell for stunningly high prices. I wish you the best of luck finding it.
Oh dear. I feel I am very late to the party. I hadn’t even HEARD of Jeremy Brett til a couple of months ago. But here I am watching old shows and series with him in it just because of his Sherlock Holmes! I feel like Rip Van Winkle just awakening from a long sleep. I’ve never been a tv watcher, but it is rather nice to be able to catch these things, when i want on TH-cam. After his Sherlock portrayal and his Max de Winter role, I’m hooked! There’s just something about him..... Very mesmerizing.
Ahhhhhh, The one and only, Mr Sherlock Holmes!❤
Yes! Jeremy will always be Holmes. The one and only Holmes.
Blimey!! Its not often I'm rendered speechless but this vid sure did it!!! Wonderful, wonderful & again, wonderful!!!!

ps sorry for spelling!!!
First of all thank you so much for uploading this video...I am a big fan of Jeremy sir's Sherlock Holmes... I think he has set threshold for the next generation actors to play Sherlock Holmes and I think no one has met that point yet... I fall in love with him again and again with every single episode that I watch of Sherlock Holmes... it's very sad that he gone too soon but he'll always stay in our hearts till our last breath...
So beautiful - I mean Jeremy. of course! Thanks so much for this!
He was so very talented❤
I found JB only 6 months ago but I have been completely enthralled by his performances and his beautiful singing voice ever since. Too bad I did not get to know him earlier. Thank you so much for posting this, it means so much to me.
What a talented man!!!
I remain mystified that this lovely man, whom I had the pleasure of seeing on stage several times, was not allowed to do his own singing as Freddie Eynsford-Hill in "My Fair Lady."
@AMT yes, the studio didn't like Jeremy Brett's singing voice, so they had a studio singer, Bill Shirley, dub him.

@AMT my late partner and I saw Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke recreate their rôles onstage in 1988 in London, in the stage play by Jeremy Paul, "The Secret of Sherlock Holmes." We went to London twice a year for 27 years and pretty much for me these trips were all about the theater. For this particular show, the tickets were present from the woman who was our agent for the short-term holiday flats we rented for many years.
Unfortunately, she gave us tickets that were first row center -- unfortunate because there was a fog machine used to recreate 1890s London to which my other half was severely allergic. After the First Act he left, and I finished on my own, while he recovered at a pub off the King's Road in Chelsea, where I met him after the show was over.
We also saw him once before that on Broadway in a revival of the Frederick Lonsdale play, "Aren't We All," starring Rex Harrison and Claudette Colbert in the mid-80s. What was particularly interesting about that is that Jeremy Brett replaced the actor John Michael King. John Michael King was the original Freddie Eynsford Hill in the very first production of "My Fair Lady!" That was a lovely evening. The late Lynn Redgrave was also in the play, and the first time I saw her on stage was at age 16 in 1967, in the Peter Shaffer one act plays "Black Comedy" and "White Lies," but that is his story for another day. By the way, "The Secret of Sherlock Holmes" is on TH-cam with Brett and Hardwicke, but not having seen it I can't vouch for the print.
@AMT I was very lucky to have seen Rex Harrison on stage three times. In addition to the Lonsdale play, my other half and I saw him, also with Ms Colbert, in William Douglas-Home's "The Kingfisher," in 1978 when I was 27 years old. Ms Colbert, then 75, was absolutely ravishing, but Harrison's was by far the bigger role. The show is stolen by the great character actor George Rose, playing Harrison's manservant.
We also saw Harrison in Maugham's "The Circle," with Glynis John's and Stewart Granger, in Boston.
@AMT Glynis Johns was about 67 or 68 when I saw her in "The Circle."
I saw Gielgud on stage twice -- when I was 15 I went with my aunt to see Gielgud in the title role of Chekhov's "Ivanov," co-starring Vivien Leigh (an obsession of mine since age 9, whom I also saw in "Tovarich" when I was 12) at the Colonial Theater in Boston. Ms Leigh was only in the first act as her character dies. I still have my playbill from 56 years ago. Then, in 1988, we went to his final West End show, "The Best of Friends," which is essentially three people reading letters they have written to each other. By then he was in his mid-80s, and although he was marvelous, clearly had issues remembering lines. I have had really a charmed Life as a theater-goer. It wasn't until my 50s did it occurred to me that as a teenager I was very blasé about having seen Vivien Leigh on stage not once, but TWICE. Now I am absolutely marveling that I had such experiences.
