He had a lot of natural charisma and I believe that he was very underrated as a quality fighter Besides defeating Floyd he beat some real good fighters and had solid skills
Very interesting. Ingemar, the hammer of Thor. Short term champ. Not a bad voice. Better than most rappers. Ingemar had a 3 fight series with Floyd Patterson and won once.
Also as a Swedish guy something else that is impressive is his dialect since he have a thick Gothenburg accent that doesn't shine through at all while singing.
I'm reading floyd patterson's auto-biography & wanted to hear ingemar speak, whilst this isn't a boxing interview it's a pleasant detour & a thoroughly enjoyable video.
They became friends after Ingemar gave him a contract worth 150.000 $ in exchange for fighting 4 matches in Sweden. The year after his second loss to Mohammad Ali.
great voice, I think he would have done well in movies. Recently I've been watching some of his fights and he had tremendous one punch power. There's an interview out there from Patterson where he said no one ever hit him that hard, not even Liston, and his punches were "different"
The slow, awkward and kinda clumsy start doesn't help much...at all... but it picks up from there and in the bargain, Mr. Johansson reveals that he's no slouch at the microphone. A fun moment.
Dinah Shore is one of my favorite singers, and I enjoy watching her live performances on RUclips. However, Ingemar Johansson really butchered this Alice Babs recording. Floyd Mayweather is not only a better boxer, but a better singer than was Ingemar.
Ingemar was a breath of fresh air into the fighting scene. The James Bond of boxing!

Best singing from a heavyweight champion ever.

Thanks. Ingo could really sing. He seemed to be a very nice fellow.
Not many world champions in boxing would sing in a famous American TV show. It's really fantastic. Good for you, Ingemar, well done!!
He was a very interesting man and a real positive influence for boxing
Wow, i am swedish and he could really sing that song well so not only a great boxer with great looks.
Un estupendo boxeador con una excelente voz y estampa !!!!!!!!!

I saw this show back in the day one Sunday night. Ingo had class.
A great clip. I didn't know the heavyweight champion could sing. Leave it to Dinah Shore to have something novel and new on her show.
Ali could sing the spots off the walls. You should hear him sing Stand By Me; incredible! Joe Frazier wasn't bad either.
Also as a Swedish guy something else that is impressive is his dialect since he have a thick Gothenburg accent that doesn't shine through at all while singing.
very cool

The pride of sweden! Both as fighter and singer! ABBA aint got shit on Ingo!
They were two very nice people.
legend ,,RIP
No idea he was such a good singer ,.
He hasn't got a bad voice!
Tänk att han sjöng så bra!
Ingo was offered $300,000 to fight Sonny Liston.
When asked why he turned the fight down he said, "I like money, but not that much".

Hello dere! Dinah sing very good swedich, even bether and Ingmar,
I love it! I love Dinah also, so nice and pretty.
great voice, I think he would have done well in movies. Recently I've been watching some of his fights and he had tremendous one punch power. There's an interview out there from Patterson where he said no one ever hit him that hard, not even Liston, and his punches were "different"
What a top guy......

I wonder if after the show Ingo and Dinah went out?
He did not see the USA in a Chevrolet.
Do you have the clip when Gwen Verdon bites him on the leg?
what's the name of the first song in swedish?
Ack Värmland du sköna
Also known as "Dear old Stockholm". Here played with Miles Davis and Coltrane: ruclips.net/video/1C7DyWdky_Y/видео.html
Dieter Quist - Yeah, but the song has nothing whatsoever to do with Stockholm. It is from, and about. the province (landskap) of Värmland.
My 3rd cousin
@@chaderickson5647 Dinah or Ingemar?
Nästa dag blev Ingo
brutalt knockad av Floyd
Inte förrän 1960 då Floyd med ett perfekt ”gazelle punch” slog ut honom i 10 minuter.
What a Renaissance man. He's lucky his voice didn't shatter that glass jaw.
He had quite a chin.
