  • Our Gypsy of the Year Competition in 2010opened with an unforgettable tribute to three-time Tony Award-winner Carol Channing. The stage and screen icon, backed by an all-male chorus line, delighted the sold out audience with renditions of "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" from her first Broadway smash, 1949's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and the rousing title song from Hello, Dolly! - the show which made her a legend in 1964.

    The affection and protective care with which the one chorus boy guides Miss Channing is such a beautiful picture of respect. He guides her, yet does not condescend. He subtly supports her but lets her strength shine through. During this virus, I don't fully know why, I have been watching this so often. And I really start crying at the lyric "Look at the old girl now fellas!!"

    I was leaving work at 8 o'clock on a Sunday in Manhattan and saw her walking towards, almost a block away, in a bright red trench coat. She was very elegant, had true presence. I had a pleasant little conversation with her when she passed. She seemed humble and loved her fans. She had class but could really camp it up on stage. She had a reputation for being a hard worker, but always looked like she was having fun. She was born to be on Broadway. I was surprised at how tall she was, about 6 feet in flat shoes. I always appreciated her uniqueness.

My parents were younger and they are both deceased. She's one of the few celebrity's still around from that generation. So I'd say her heart is definitely blessed.

She wasn’t really all that gifted vocally but then again she was extremely gifted. She was a performer into her 90’s and I wish that I could have met her personally and I bet she was just a genuinely nice person.
