Wow he was so old ! Norman Lear is 98 in 2021 but looks young enough to be his son.
Astonishing voice for 97
AT 97, he still had it.
There's 'comfort food' we eat to cheer us up. George Burns is great 'comfort entertainment'. We can always put on an old record, movie, or youtube video of this legend. Life suddenly seems manageable again.
How could you not love this man? He was simply amazing.
And his joy!
None like him since
He always puts a smile upon my face. I watched him as a child and I have always loved him. He is very missed. He is a Legend 💜
What a legend. Never again will we see such class.
We surely will not.
Amen Brother. Amen.
True. 💕💯💕
You can say that again
One of those people that I am so glad I was alive while he was alive. An absolute TREASURE!
Truly a comedic and entertainment legend. He and Gracie were extraordinary. Clean funny comedy. They proved clean is funny.
Absolutely! I would say even funnier than the trash we have today that passes for comedy!
Took very good care of himself. Did push ups, sit ups, and long walks. RIP George Burns
We need characters like him today!
We do, but they would have zero support from major distributors. Too clean.
I can't help but love George Burns, and come to see him whenever I need my heart warmed and a smile on my face.
Still sharp at that age.
Except he couldn't read the cue cards! LOL!
At his age I Wished and hope to have a great memory like he had
I am so happy to see Burns and Allen show here on youtube! I watched them all the time.
SPIRITUALY HES ALWAYS HERE
Every time I hear him sing this song I am reminded of how Don Rickles used to poke gentle fun at him while doing his act if Burns was at the event. Part of his act was to poke fun at old actors by saying "I'm a friend.....its OVER!" And then he would say "at least with George we have 'old bones old bones'."
lol! Yes, Rickles was a wonderful foil for all his contemporaries... he had that caustic act, but his heart was of gold.. there was so much love there. Too many people just took him at face value, from his act.. they were so unwise. Rickles was pure love, and those of us who realized it were plentiful.
@@Tre404 Yes indeed. My mother was disgusted by his act but my father loved it. And you're right. His act did not define the man. He WAS actually a very loving and generous man. Later in life, after a skit or performance or roast he would come out of character and say some nice things about the person or hug them or say "God bless." It was the same with Jack Benny. Everyone thought he was a miser in real life, but it wasn't true. He was in fact, a VERY generous man.
And don't forget his other one I Wished I was 18 again it's a favorite of mine
Burns was so much better than don
Who wasnt bad himself
@@bill-fk7tl Well, Burns was at it a lot longer than Don! 😂
Impeccable timing til the very end.
I loved this old fellow was a great actor who was really funny and not a bad singer and a great husband to Gracie
I loved him too. But he DID cheat on Gracie; just once. And he was so guilty over it, he never did it again.
He did cheat on Gracie once. He supposedly called Jack Benny crying hysterically because he was so ashamed .( They were best friends).
@@michaelhungate7506 Yep. The only problem was that Gracie overheard the call. Good Christian woman that she was, she forgave him and didn't say anything.
According to his autobiography, he felt so guilty for cheating on Gracie, he bought her a silver tea set. She wanted him to cheat again many years later, so she could get it repalced.
@@StevenTorrey yeah I read that story too.
I adored George Burns. Adored.
I loved this man! I have all of his books, seen all of his movies, and I, for one, LOVED to hear him sing! He was dearly loved, and sadly missed!
Never seen this video before , without a doubt George Burns one of the most likeable and talented people in the history of television ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Hearing this song brings a few 😭 tears to my eyes 👀 this old fella is missed
Wonderful Entertainer and Comedian, thank you George Burns, in memory of Gracie Allen, for your once-in-a-lifetime routines that help laugh right along with you!!! Bravo, George you are a legend!!!
Shalom and RIP Nathan Birnbaum (aka George Burns)

@@sylviagordon6307 that’s what I wrote!
Wonderful!
A classic example of how to "sell" a song, as well as sing it.
Unique, glorious, honest, what we need to be to be real, happy and complete, the legend is glad to be anywhere and we are glad just ti get a glance of your light dear angel
Don’t make ‘‘em like George Burns any more love the darling man !
A Absolutely Amazing Entertainer !!! Now he's God's right hand man! RIP
I feel the same way, George. Damn, if I could go back to about age 18 or so and do it over.... I could do better.
What a delight Mr. Burns!
Wow what a man Mr Burns🤘 sleep well
A great actor and comedian
the cigar...the class... the songs... can't beat that! Happy to have met you George and always happy to listen to your songs :)
My original inspiration for wanting to smoke cigars. This man.
And do you smoke the really cheap El Producto cigars like he did? He smoked the "queens" with an all natural wrapper but they don't make them anymore. But you can still get El Productos.
@@retroguy9494 I smoke primarily Davidoffs.
@@hiawathaclemons Ah! Good brand. I'm mostly a pipe smoker but like the occasional cigar. I smoke Macanudos.
@@retroguy9494 I’ve had those before. Pretty good
@@hiawathaclemons I like them because they're on the mild side. As a former cigarette smoker who now mainly just smokes a pipe, I don't care for strong harsh cigars. Macanudo's have a nice mild flavor.
Grandpa What are you doing don’t get up your singing is good R.I.P George Burns 1896-1996 this guy was a legend and still is He’s truly missed
Old bones Inside an old raincoat
Old bones inside of old shoes
Old friends from the hotel
Come by to wish me well
And keep me up-to-date
On all the old news
Sometimes I have me a whiskey
And I fall asleep in my chair
And I Dream that im a man
Much younger than I am
I bet you think by now that I wouldn’t care
But I love life I’d like to do it again
No I might not be much more than Ive ever been
Just to have the chance to turn back the hands
Start my life again
Oh yeah, I’d like to do it again
It’s time for taking it easy
It’s time for doing it slow
Old bones don’t move so fast
Like they did once in the past
Now if I have to run, I simply don’t go
But I love life id do it again
Though I might not be much more than Ive ever been
Just to have a chance
To turn back the hands
Start my life again
Oh yeah Id like to do it again
Oh yeah I’d like to do it again
Like most people everywhere,
I’ve had my wear and tear
What might’ve shot the western world
I don’t even care
it’s the only way to go
it’s the only dream I know
Im contented just to be
Uncomplicated me
So don’t dig any deeper
What you get it is what you see
I’m the only man you’ll find
Who has nothing on his mind
I got nothing much to lose
I never get the blues
You’ve been around as long as me everything’s good news
It’s the only way to go
So please play it in my key
So please stay in my key
Watch my dreams come real
Please please don’t go
I want to tell you how happy I feel
It’s the only way to go
Absolute brilliance!
LE-GEN-D.
I recall watching him in Oh God in the 70s when i was about 10. For some reason I have an undefinable feeling that he was already a star. What a wonderful man a wonderful life and he was always so cheerful.
Words to live by
He was the funniest guy in show business 😂
What’s that on his head 😂😂
His fame accelerated because of his old age, quite sad how the public cling onto famous people as they are approaching death, much like betty white, who 20 years ago was pretty much only known to most for being in the golden girls, being old seems to ingratiate people with the general public.
I've read stories about men in their early 90s being released from jail due to failing health, and here people claiming they were innocent or how badly society treats elderly people.
When in fact the opposite is true
You have no idea what you're talking about. Just watching some recent TV does not make you an expert on the subject as a whole. George was FAR MORE FAMOUS in the 1930s through the 1950s for his radio and TV shows with Gracie. He was never more famous than he was during those decades. He did experience a resurgence in popularity when he played in "The Sunshine Boys" and in a great many TV spectaculars in the 1970s, then in the "Oh, God!" movies later in that decade. Burns won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and the Golden Globe for Best Actor for his role in "The Sunshine Boys." You putz.
