I was 14 years old when they did this show. The 50's and 60's were the greatest era in US history. Jo was the greatest female singer of the 20th century. Classically trained with perfect pitch, she was amazing. I sometimes get a little teary eyed remembering those wonderful times. At least the internet brings these wonderful memories.
There's a guy on RUclips, FIL ((Wings of Pegasus), who does an interesting electronic analysis of Jo Stafford's voice. Her precision and control were exceptional.
Met Joe Stafford 1964 Gleneagles Hotel Scotland I was 21 yrs old saw her every day I was in conceirge what a treat what a happening for me she was special
Jo Stafford...I was there....Radio Luxembourg, 'Wonderful 2-0-8!!'....American Forces Network in Germany...all the hits....Top Twenty, sponsored by Tide washing powder!
I can never thank you enough for posting this such beautiful magic these two created with these two songsit's just something that you do not hear or see nowadays at all because so many of today's singers are so untalented. My father who was born in 1926 and passed away in was in the Navy and stationed in California during the 1950's, got to meet Jo Stafford and her husband Paul Weston. He told me they were two of the finest people he had ever met.
What a voice Jo had---------the likes of which, we'll not see or hear, ever again.------My parents LOVED her, & I grew up to her gorgeous voice on the radio & record player.-----------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
@@robertsamson4610 Thank you for that wonderful reccomendation, I added it to my playlist. I also love her version of "In the Still of the Night". If you have anything else to recommend me, please let me know! 😊
Thank you for posting this and letting us see and hear Jo Stafford and Perry Como! Jo is a singer I have loved since I'm very young. And there are no recordings more beautiful than her folk songs.
My sincere appreciation to you posting this....Persona ....talent....class... entertainment... improvisation.. beautiful Voices..What an absolute diamond of a clip this is.... Because you have posted this it shall be appreciated by lots of people for Many years to come 👍🙂
A talk show brought me here. How? Ben Shapiro was talking about the degradation of our society and culture and showed an example by the latest “song” by a female rapper called Pound Town. It was laughable but sad at the same time. I had to go back and discover music not just from what I grew up with, 80s music, but further back and heard Jo Stafford’s beautiful voice on Sirius XM in my car. So soothing to the ear and refreshing. I’m definitely exploring more 40s. And think about what Americans were living through during that time as well.
When I was a kid in the '50s-'60s, my mom and dad had an album of Jo Stafford's on which was at least one song that she sang ever-so-slightly off-key. It was one of those things that took you aback and made you cringe...until you realized that it was done ON PURPOSE as a joke!😂 Jo had a beautiful voice and was one of my dad's favorite singers.😊
Unfortunately, I don't have this episode on my computer:( I need to come home to work with the DVD with this show. I think I'll do this within two weeks
Loved Perry Como! I didn't know he could play a guitar! Was giving him a badly out of tune guitar supposed to be part of the schtick? Jo Stafford (1917 - 2008) Wiki: Stafford made her first musical appearance at age 12. While still at high school, she joined her two older sisters to form a vocal trio named the Stafford Sisters, who found moderate success on radio and in film. In 1938, while the sisters were part of the cast of Twentieth Century Fox's production of Alexander's Ragtime Band, Stafford met the future members of the Pied Pipers and became the group's lead singer. Bandleader Tommy Dorsey hired them in 1939 to perform vocals with his orchestra. From 1940 to 1942, the group often performed with Dorsey's new male singer, Frank Sinatra. In addition to her singing with the Pied Pipers, Stafford was featured in solo performances with Dorsey. After leaving the group in 1944, she recorded a series of pop songs now regarded as standards for Capitol Records and Columbia Records. Many of her recordings were backed by the orchestra of Paul Weston. She also performed duets with Gordon MacRae and Frankie Laine. Her work with the United Service Organizations giving concerts for soldiers during World War II earned her the nickname "G.I. Jo". Starting in 1945,

Jo S
A true perfectionist
But Perry was a true artist
She is so good, her voice is still memorable .I remember her song ,"Shrimp boats Are A Comming". We all sang them and loved her style.
Met Joe Stafford 1964 Gleneagles Hotel Scotland I was 21 yrs old saw her every day I was in conceirge what a treat what a happening for me she was special
I first heard Jo on BBC Radio 2 in 2014, up till then I did,nt think a human voice could sound so beautiful, the song was "No Other Love".
What a way to appreciate their talent,I didn’t know that Perry Como played guitar,brilliant👏👏👏.
Something so rare today: talent.
Facts!!
So great. 2 huge stars of the 50s that people have mostly forgotten about.
'You belong to me' one of her very best recordings.
JO.. one of the purest voices ever.....
This vintage music is like a glass of old wine, the more you listen, the more it is filled with emotion and nostalgia. 🍷
Her speaking voice was just as beautiful as her singing one❤
Jo Stafford was a marvellously talented singer! My favourite? ‘You belong to me.’
same here
Jo as pretty as her voice. She defined a musical era, cannot get higher than that.
BACK AT 83 & STILL SO IN ADMIRATION OF BOTH!!! RIP
as soon as JO launched into her song , ohhhhhhh what a wonderful voice with no accompaniment , she didnt need one she had a beautiful voice .
Absolutely and her breath control was phenomenal.
goodness, this was beautiful!
Two perfect voices. (Didn't know he played a guitar.) TY for the post.
Long before Auto-tune, when performers had real talent. The fabulous Jo Stafford, whose "No Other Love" continues to break my heart.
Jo was such a beautiful and talented lady. I also enjoyed her husband's work, too.

Persona?, eso es una palabra en Español y significa "person".
At 4:44 when Jo Stafford suddenly gets serious and sings "He's Gone Away". Pure magic!
A true American nightingale and beauty!.
You can hear the purest most perfect voice in all popular music.
Jo simply had a wonderful voice.
LOVELY
You belong to me is the best song on my top 5 list ever.
I like to watch them live rather than dead.

I never knew perry played guitar
He played other instruments as well.
Ha l'orecchio musicale per accordare la chitarra,bravissimo Pierino COMO.
He also played the mandolin....and accordion....
Perry singing the number 7 came in 7.
He was the 7th son of a 7th son....lucky guy!!!
When I was a kid in the '50s-'60s, my mom and dad had an album of Jo Stafford's on which was at least one song that she sang ever-so-slightly off-key.

Never noticed that Perry's speaking voice is similar to Dean's.
Mary Jo and Perry sing together. The song 7. Perry made up. Bluetail fly. Jimmy crackcorn. His gone away.
I WAS JUST 6
