@@TeddGCM Partly true but By this time Dean's drinking and percodan use had gotten much worse. Him and Frank look a little wasted here too. Probably the only thing that gave Dean courage to do this. I could imagine them saying, cmon lets have another drink and go surprise Jerry. It never rekindled any relationship really. More of a one off.
I'll never forget seeing this for the first time as it happened. My family and I were clapping like crazy. To see these two together again...it was fabulous! May all 3 of these guys rest in peace.
It's great to see the Martin/Sinatra footage. Can't image Lewis' shock at seeing Martin walk on stage. Three good men gone. We won't see the likes of them again. Thanks for posting this.
M Walsh I think I remember Jerry having said he strode out like bullfighter or something. He was trying to keep his composure and his body language showed that, but Dean cracked a tiny bit and Frank was trying to keep them both in character and in control. Dean wiping Jer's tear was very sweet and impulsive.
At about 1:20, the mic just barely picks up Lewis telling Sinatra, “You son of a bitch.” I also like Dean, completely in character, pronounce MGM as Meggum.
why is this so moving - nearly 45 years later! I loved these guys so much as a kid but we never saw the telethons in the uk - this still chokes me up....
This video makes me cry. I watched the MDA Telethon every year without fail. I watched it for a late as I could into the night and as soon as I got up in the morning. My Dad developed ALS in 1980 and died in 1985. He was one of Jerry's oldest kids. I will never forgive what MDA did to Jerry. He raised billions for them, and they kicked him to the curb like a dog they didn't want anymore. And now I just read they are $25 million in the hole for 2022.
Allegedly , some scientists came to Jerry personally on a cure for muscular disease and he went to MDA and they fired him . I heard this from a radio talk show Coast to Coast AM .
This clip never fails to bring tears to my eyes. And one of the things I love about it--not that it was intentional, or anything, obviously--is that the two reverse their traditional roles; Jerry's the straight man, while Dean's the comic foil. Epic
A reunion always brings reflection and tears, the time heals everything and this is one example, a breakup for 20 years and then we have someone who will surprise us without expectation. It was about time, are you working?
Kevin Nelson ...Dean and Jerry were a comedy team...broke up on what was said to be non-speaking terms. But Jerry said they remained friends all those years.
I seen that performance when it was on TV. I started crying when Dean walked out onto the stage. I went to all there movies as a child and loved them deeply. I was heart broken when they split. Thank you so very much for putting that on U tube.
Those legends were’nt acting, that was the way they were naturally. They thrived on audience entertainment. They were friends and werent ashamed to show affection for each other. We will never see anything like them again. R.I.P. Frank and the rat pack...A lifetime of bringing joy to others
These telethons were a family event when I was young. My mother would jar her own tomato sauce over the Labor Day weekend and for me and my family the Labor Day weekend meant tomato sauce and Jerry Lewis. We would have the telethon on all day and night and I clearly remember watching this live with my parents who couldn't believe what they were seeing. I wish that I could be back there once more...what a great time it was.
Same here. We had a three day weekend, my father was off on Labor Day and from Friday night to Monday afternoon, the television was on non-stop. My only complaint was I was born and raised in Hawai’i so we always had the local talent on and occasionally it was switched to Jerry Lewis and the mainland stars. We won’t see the likes of this ever again.
@@ericseabury3968 You said it, Eric. Kind of sad and makes me think of my own mortality. It seems like the 44 years between then and now went by in a second.
Thanks for including the full footage. Other videos I've seen don't show the complete performance. (Someone thumbs down a compliment? Guess we know what kind of person...)
tennyson whistlesnoot Thank for me too, i saw it when it 1st happen but only seen bits and pieces since then. Thanks for the whole clip of this t.v. history that was made this night
tennyson whistlesnoot This is my first time seeing this entire episode. How can nine people give this a thumbs down is beyond me. I actually wanted to call and pledge. I will on Labor Day. I truly miss those men. Thank you for posting this classic.
A year or 2 eailer Jerry was ask about getting back together with Dean on Merv Griffin show. Jerry said he didn't think Dean would want too because Dean is a private person. He also said it would have to be Dean who did it cause Jerry knew how Dean was. And so it was Dean who surprise the whole world,Jerry was truly caught off guard,you can tell how happy he was.
Toni Wilson I’ve read an article years ago by Peter Bogdanovich concerning the reunion, and he stated that Mr. Lewis was actually upset at being caught off-guard by Mr. Sinatra’s stunt.
These two and their “meldey”. Gold. Only “Francis Albert” could pull off that surprise public reunion for Jerry with Dean. And on Jerry’s annual Muscular Dystrophy Telethon over Labor Day weekend. Terrific.
At the age of 65 and a lover of rock music all my life, the best concert I ever saw was Frank Sinatra's last performance at the garden. Even in his later years he had a commanding stage presence, and was well aware of his changing range and always carried an awesome tune. He truly was the chairman of the board
I remember when this happened 1976 I was a young teenager with life in front of me, when he said they hadn't seen each other in twenty years ...and fell into one another's arms I cried 😢
Lewis did admit (during an interview; and there's available evidence of such) that he and Martin had seen each other a few times PRIVATELY during the 20-years . . . but, not publicly. Find the Y-Tube video.
What a time to be alive, the greats of the greats, after everything, glad to see Dean & Jerry back together, & the only person who could pull this off was Sinatra! Frank was truly the man!!
In this whole thing, they exchanged roles (either spontaneously or by design). Jerry becomes the straight, cool man while Dean becomes the naughty, the comical man, who often put jokes here and there
I’m glad Mr Sinatra brought Mr Martin on stage to reunite with Mr Lewis, even if no one was happy about it, I for one as well as everyone else was very happy about it!!
Just a flashback to my childhood watching these telethons at my grandparent’s house. I’m glad I was old enough to see all three still alive and performing in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Such a great memory. I remarked on it in a reaction thread for, I think 'Amore' the other day. Today, they posted this Frank and Dean performance, which i'd forgotten, but someone left a link for the reunion. Beautiful, better than I remember, and it was deeply moving at the time. Thanks for this.
A couple of things: If you listen closely as Dean walks up, Jerry says “you son of a bitch. Shoulda been a Jew that did it” to Frank. Jerry HATED surprises but this was one he loved. Second, when Jerry says to Dean, “You workin’?”, that’s an in joke between them two because that’s the first thing he said to Dean when they first met 30 years prior. Even after 20 years apart they could still riff off each other and make it look natural. “You’re always going.” “Well I’m always drinkin’!” 🤣🤣
I was a 17 years old kid when this happened, completely ignorant to the background, that Martin & Lewis had formed a successful comic duet which split 2 years before I was born, so this event of 1976, what that reunion meant at the time eluded me. Now that I know it is great to watch it time and time again.
@@cabba6915 I love that he got away with it - blink and you might miss it. Live broadcast, but, it happened so fast that cameras could not switch away fast enough.
Ce sont mes trois chanteurs et acteurs préférées ,je l'ai adores ,ils savaient tous faire , chantés, dansés et joués la comédie ,moi je les aimes beaucoup tous les trois ,ils avaient un énorme talents ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was before my time, but I remember my mother telling me about it and how much it meant to people her age. I was just old enough to know who these guys were, so I understand the importance of it. But I wonder how would I even begin to explain to the younger people why a moment like this was so important. They wouldn't even understand what the Rat Pack was or even how important the Telethon was back then. Would the younger people even know what the Telethon was. With only three channels, the Telethon was a very big deal in those days, and seeing this reunion during it was a huge moment in television history.
The chemistry they had was out of this world. You can feel the tension, memories and love flying between them, dissolving and being spoken without words. What a moment!! Better than any scene you could write for a movie.
This was very nice for Frank Sinatra to do with DEAN MARTIN and JERRY LEWIS... 2 huge SUPERSTARS seeing each other for the first time in 20 years.. Thanks EDDIE BARROS for this incredible moment...
Thank you for this. It brings back wonderful memories. I remember when they broke up. Seeing them back together again was awesome. Sinatra wants joked on The Tonight show with Johnny Carson that he was shocked when he was not nominated for the Nobel Peace prize
great upload eddie. time capsule when coolness and decency and talent and comedic timing was alive. you could tell jerry did not want of color remarks on this telethon when dino said i got off last night. jerry's last line of this incident was, "when francis albert is there great things start to happen". $3 million in 10 minutes in 1976 for a telethon was unheard of then which they ended up raising.
I miss this show and these guys. Sitting on the couch with my dad, watching "The Stars Come Out". This show hasn't been the same since Jerry left us. RIP Jerry, Dean, Frank, and Daddy.
I remember watching that live. Martin & Lewis' hey day was before I was born but I had seen many of their movies growing up and knew that they'd broken up and had not spoken to each other for years. It's great to see the look on Dean's face as he comes out. Jerry, I think, was discomfited but what could he do, be a jerk in front of the entire country? The two of them resumed their friendship after this and even appeared together a couple of times.
I miss this kind of Hollywood, these days, a part of America we'll never get back. When entertainment didn't require showing off the majority of your body. I feel so sad for this generation of youngsters. Such a loss of innocence at such young ages. Children weren't in such a hurry to grow up. A time when the roadside signage wasn't full of half dressed women.
The most amazing video I ever saw I watched it as it happened and had tears 😮running down my face I have it on my computer wall and still watching it at least once a week
Patty Lewis, ex wife to Jerry, said she and her kids were sitting down first row then booooom people came up to them and told them to move...then Sinatra's wife and kids were ushered in to those seats, all the doors were locked to prevent anyone in or out and Frank had has own photographer there..only. Well old blue eyes is the chairman of the board after all. Magical Hollywood. Golden era !!!
I have worked at the Telethon answering the phones and sorting the pledge envelopes in Bad Axe, Mich. One year the phone center was at sheriff's office and they put me in charge of making the popcorn for people making a donation to the MDA. I miss the Telethon and I was angry they fired Jerry because he devoted so much time to raise money. RIP Jerry.
Jerry made the comment that because Frank was friends with both of them got tried being asked how the other was doing? So that want got him thinking about maybe pulling this off.
They always say he really wasn't drinking....obviously the act buried the truth....always thought this reunion was awkward...but it was exciting....loved Martin and Lewis as a kid....idolized Lewis.....but over the years couldn't handle his ego.
I love those guys with all my hearth.Sometime i think that i wanted to live with them times,but is ok,i look at them my hearth is full they were best guys in the world
I was a kid when I saw this.. I didn't understand why i teared up.. But now .. Aftre several friends passed on.. I get it.. And now .. I am the last of those friend. . and yes I miss those sobs..
Will never classy guys like these again. In Boston, one of our local TV personalities would send out kits to have your own carnival to raise money for M.D.. Never missed the telethon and I remember seeing this part. I wad only 15 but I knew what it meant to have Dean reunite with Jerry. I loved Frank , which was perfect to have him reunite them. R.I.P. guys!!
These guys can be three sheets to the wind and just screwing around and are STILL more talented than 99 percent of what we have today.
Very true I can hardly take what is being put out on tv or movies now a days
@@drewski1535 Both of you are showing your age - and also how out of touch with the rest of the world you have become. It's not a badge of honor.
While Dean did enjoy a drink from time to time, his on stage personality (a drunk) was an act.
@@TeddGCM, BS he was Always Smashed , Really Sad
@@TeddGCM Partly true but By this time Dean's drinking and percodan use had gotten much worse. Him and Frank look a little wasted here too. Probably the only thing that gave Dean courage to do this. I could imagine them saying, cmon lets have another drink and go surprise Jerry. It never rekindled any relationship really. More of a one off.
RIP Jerry, Dean and Frank. The kind of old-school men they just don't make anymore.
Dean just keeps on looking at Jerry. He looks so happy to be there. Love it!
Esther, I know!!! He can't take his eyes off Jerry. Super sweet! So much love there
No matter what people say, Dean absolutely loved Jerry and never ever got over him and neither did Jerry. These two were really and truly soulmates
I'll never forget seeing this for the first time as it happened. My family and I were clapping like crazy. To see these two together again...it was fabulous!
May all 3 of these guys rest in peace.
I remember it like it was yesterday. Totally unexpected! We were in shock!!
If you dont shed a tear watching this video then you dont know who these guys are or you just dont have a soul.RIP to these three greats.
It's great to see the Martin/Sinatra footage. Can't image Lewis' shock at seeing Martin walk on stage. Three good men gone. We won't see the likes of them again. Thanks for posting this.

Sean Martin
I actually remember seeing this live on TV when I was a kid. One of the great moments in television.
Yep. Same. It was one of those “Kodak moments” in time.
20 years later and the MAGIC is STILL THERE!!! The TALENT is just NUTZ!!!
why is this so moving - nearly 45 years later! I loved these guys so much as a kid but we never saw the telethons in the uk - this still chokes me up....
Jerry surprised Dean at his 80 th ? Birthday to
The tuxedo was invented for Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Jerry Lewis. What class! RIP Gents.

They way Jerry whiped his eyes made mine water, they've should've never been upset with each other for so long. I was do happy to see this.
I remember watching this live when I was 10. My mother would let me and my sister stay up all night for the Jerry Lewis Telethon. Good times.

Never missed a telethon it was great family entertainment Like the Rose bowl parade never missed one in 60s 70s sooo good That entertainment!👍😎🇨🇦
Thanks so much for putting the whole clip up. No matter how many times I've seen this elsewhere, this never gets old.
I was 9 going on 10 when I watched this in 1976. Even at that age, I understood the significance of this event.

You'd probably already seen a few of their movies..

He really was the coolest.

I’m glad Mr Sinatra brought Mr Martin on stage to reunite with Mr Lewis, even if no one was happy about it, I for one as well as everyone else was very happy about it!!
I first saw this when it aired on TV back in 1975 or 1976 ,and Rest in peace Jerry Frank and Dean !
I remember seeing this I was ten and Jerry was always one of my favorite comedians
oh that is sooo wonderful....friends are so important to walk through the days....
Ledgends they are just singing off the cuff and sound better than any singer today
I miss the old Jerry Lewis telethons. It was the only thing on all night in the 80's. Well for the one weekend a year anyway.
Just a flashback to my childhood watching these telethons at my grandparent’s house. I’m glad I was old enough to see all three still alive and performing in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
I was a young teen but spent as much time as possible with my grandparents. I saw this live on TV with them.
I just know that hug had the aromas of bourbon, cigarettes, brylcreem and aqua velva.
Omg. I was thinking the same lol.
2 magnificent voices!!!!

Saw it on tv all those years ago. Wonderful they all got together to raise some money very generous hearts good cause.❤

Now that I know it is great to watch it time and time again.
I love how Dino destroyed Frank with that one gesture at the 7:59 mark. That's why even Frank loved him. Even Jerry got a kick out of it.
It was hilarious!
It's a classic age-old Italian gesture that matches your f..k o.f ! But without using words.
@@cabba6915 I love that he got away with it - blink and you might miss it. Live broadcast, but, it happened so fast that cameras could not switch away fast enough.
Dean Martin halfway sings and sounds phenomenal
That was awesome Sinatra a class act for sure bringing these two classics back together after 20 years
Bravo, bravo paisani, Sinatra and Dean Martin, miss both of you
9:34DEAN MARTIN puts his glasses on just so he could see what's written on the cuecards when he's singing... HALARIOUS, FUNNY AS HELL!!

only Frank could pull that off. thank you for the addional footage. It has cutaways to Jerry who indeed enjoyed the show.
Thx ❤❤❤
Beautiful.

Frank had more power than Darth Sidious. "Hey heres my friend" and boom. Reunion.
Jerry made the comment that because Frank was friends with both of them got tried being asked how the other was doing? So that want got him thinking about maybe pulling this off.
