Today's singers (with rare exception) can't compare to the people of my era. The people on that stage didn't need alot of fancy props or dancers. The ONLY thing they needed was a 🎤 microphone. Incredible talent, like beauty doesn't need alot. Their talent & looks speak for themselves. Heaven must be swinging. May they ALL rest in peace.
@@GaryKashouty At that timestamp, the gentleman standing just behind, in between Frank Sinatra and Joe Williams is Steve Lawrence. Hope that helps - actually, the whole show is up here on this platform, type in Frank Sinatra, Society of Singers 1990 (just under 90 minutes)...
On March 19,1984 my wife and I saw the Count Basie Band play at the Hollywood Palladium, it was his last public performance before He died. Dennis Rowland started to sing Everyday ( I got the blues). In about four bars into his singing Joe Williams came from backstage and surprised the count and started to sing the rest of the song. It was Joe Williams last tribute to the late great Count Basie.
It sad how many people in this video that are no longer with us but will have been lucky to be alive when they were with us. Joe Williams was class. Never see talent like that again.
Man that's just way too much fun. First, Joe swings it with the orchestra. And then wonderful mayhem. All of that Hollywood royalty on that stage just livin' it up. Gotta love it. Sure must've been a blast to be in that room that night.
What a great video...all star audience, Henry Mancini directing the orchestra and, most of all, the great Joe Williams still in great form at his age at the time. Doesn't get any better than that.
Ok I have to share, I met joe at a thanksgiving dinner in vegas ,the people there were very humble not wealthy at all we didnt even sit at a table to eat but on tv trays . I didnt even know who he was I spent the night talking with him and his sweet little wife . The people who gave the dinner said joe invited us all to a show ,I was blown away ,I had no idea he was well known and now I find this ! What a wonderful man .
Only version of Joe singing "alright okay" where he does an extra chorus of "alright okay" before ending the song. And boy, that extra chorus really swings. They all dig in, band, Joe and the crowd.
WHAT a Night are you KILLDING MAN EVERY GREAT LEGEND ARTIST SINGER MUSICIAN ACOR ACTRESS was There To be a Fly on the wall THATS INCREDIBLE You'll never see That Kind of MAGIC ever again GOD BLESS THEM ALL
funkman0811 Indeed!! Joe, Eydie, Steve, Basie, Sinatra, Judy, adorable Carol Channing (in the audience), sweet Audrey Hepburn, Stan Kenton...God bless 'em all! Absolutely no reason to go to the Greek Theater or Las Vegas any longer.. entertainment is almost entirely dead and gone.. :(.... Movies, Broadway musical theatre, all of it sad now! Jan
The wonderful Joe Williams - was my neighbor - yep! And a friend of my husband now X - also a Vocal Artist Great man - and he had a Great Wife - Miss him - and Sinatra
This was a great show saluting FS. Lots of great performers old and new saluting Frank. The Basie inspired band is the Juggernaut that was co led by Frankie Capp-who is playing drums and the late Nat Pierce. Frank's longtime drummer Irv Cottler died in 1991 and they had Frankie Capp playing the drums for a few shows. Hmmmm pretty positive that isn't Dick Scherer on trombone. Bill Watrous is playing lead and did a nice take on a few Tommy Dorsey chorus'.
I can see the legendary Conte Candoli and the legendary Snooky Young in the trumpet section and Red Holloway on tenor saxophone - and it does appear to be Henry Mancini himself conducting the band! (Frankie Kapp on drums for sure!).
That was the great tonight show band. Best of the best musicians playing behind the cream of American music. Joe Williams ... what more is there to say?
Only time I've seen a band led by Henry Mancini swing! Must have been a couple of Basie guys on the bandstand. Great performance. Only Jack Jones, good singer, contributed from what I could hear. Sinatra loved it. Saw Tony Bennett around too and dear Ella. I've always thought that Joe Williams was one of the great, underrated, 20th Century singers. Saw him live more than a few times in my college days in the '70s and my later youth in the '80s. Hell of a singer. God rest his soul.
A Standard Commenter That hell of a voice belongs to the great Jack Jones. Sinatra was a big fan of his and publicly praised him and the potential he had to go on and become something quite special. Jones sang many great songs throughout his career (still does) but one of his more popular songs is the theme song from “The Love Boat.”
Redinho da Flauta Of course...a classic from Hal David and Burt Bacharach (who I’ve met a few times). He’s such a great guy and obviously a brilliant composer.
@@laynemiller9229 For me the twin "peaks" (so to speak) of Jack Jones' discography are his GREAT Gershwin album (with arrangements by the fabulous Jorge Calandrelli, and piano interludes by the fantastic Fred Hersch): ruclips.net/video/z2AbGO_hfuA/видео.html And also his Legrand album - with Legrand's own lush/luxurious arrangements (and violin obligati by none other, no less, than Stéphane Grappelli himself): ruclips.net/video/i_PLMsCoJoA/видео.html Ironically (to me) he made a great album saluting Tony Bennett: Ironic because I think Jack sings much better than Tony but, sadly, didn't keep to the high standard of repertoire that Bennett did - therefore this album being superior in several, as I say, "ironic ways" (and IT IS beautiful): ruclips.net/video/ZEnIt_TqraE/видео.html
I see the late Dick Shearer (Kenton's lead trombone during the last decade of the Kenton band) in the first trombone chair, and the great jazz trombonist Bill Watrous, sitting second chair. The producer should have had Bill Watrous cut loose with a few choruses of that tune. That would have enhanced the event considerably!
A lot of times these star studded audiences look stiff. This looked like a party where the cameras were there uninvited. But thankfully for us, they snuck in.
Are they all seriously clapping on the 1 & 3 at the end there? Even Frank!? Even Ella!?!? It must be the editing -- although it seems to be in time with Joe's mouth.

This will never happen again and I’m 66 years old. This is talent at its best.

Joe absolutely stole the show with this performance
Joe Williams, one of the best jazz singers of all time.
OMG what a clip. THIS is America at its finest!
Joe and Jack, Frank, Ella, Tony, Steve and Edie. Best singers of their generation on one stage. Billion dollars worth of talent.
Yes..wasn't that awesome to see 2021

How exciting a night for all!!!

What a pleasure to see Joe singing and Frank loving it.
Haha. Seeing Frank Sinatra clapping off beat was priceless. Love Joe Williams. Especially his gospel must
The video was out of sync bro you think Sinatra would clap out of time? He’s Sinatra
Now that's what I call a show...Look at Sinatra...he's in his element, he looks so happy here x
Seeing this artist do his thing is a blessing. Chills with or without a large band.
The old school had so much class and respect for the game and we tried to continue that tradition but failed gracefully.
JOE IS SENT BY GOD TO MAKE PEOPLE VERY HAPPY

Awe..wow and u were there...
Great story!
Sadly You’ll never see talent like this again all on one stage together just enjoying each other and their craft no matter what race, color or creed.
You can tell Frank just loved this.

I'm the daughter of the late Sidney J Wyche who wrote Alright Okay You Win
What a great song!
That looks like a great party...
Class song by a class singer with a class band
Love it ❤️
VANESSA WYCHE Awesome! I play his tune and have lived it since I first heard a record of Joe Williams sing it when I was about 11
What a great video...all star audience, Henry Mancini directing the orchestra and, most of all, the great Joe Williams still in great form at his age at the time. Doesn't get any better than that.
Was that Mancini? Wow channeling the Count...,and all those Kansas City years ago.... this is a time capsule for the ages.....,true history!
What else can I say but... "The great Joe Williams." What a voice! Sinatra had to stand up.
This song still hits hard in 2022
Joe Williams!

I love Joe Williams he was like my uncle in my head. And to see all these actors...singers...comedians...etc. of my youth. ..just Wow!!!
Only version of Joe singing "alright okay" where he does an extra chorus of "alright okay" before ending the song. And boy, that extra chorus really swings. They all dig in, band, Joe and the crowd.

I see the late Dick Shearer (Kenton's lead trombone during the last decade of the Kenton band) in the first trombone chair, and the great jazz trombonist Bill Watrous, sitting second chair.

Frank Sinatra Joe Willians.So faltou Mel Torne para reunir os maiores cantores dos estados unidos.
Look at all them white folks, admiring Joe Williams!

Frank Sinatra leading the audience pack!!
Boa
Are they all seriously clapping on the 1 & 3 at the end there? Even Frank!? Even Ella!?!? It must be the editing -- although it seems to be in time with Joe's mouth.
Dayam!!!!
Either this is some bad editing, or there's something up with Sinatra's clapping... :/
Is that Henri Manci conducting?
That's what I thought, also!
