Amazing, she’s on the show to sing, slays it! And yet, announcer introduces her as actress and dancer. No one ever credits what an incredible triple threat she was,,,,, and could do it live, in a theater! Remember, body mic’s were in their infancy; you had to belt, and boy could she! But, it wasn’t until I watched interviews after she’d written her biography did I realize the genius of survival, determination, and guts this woman possessed. During her most famous number performed in the movie Easter Parade, where she sang and tapped her ass off, she wore a body cast under her costume due to a broken back: her husband threw her off the balcony. As if this wasn’t enough, it turns out she’d lied about her age in order to get part in the classic film “ Backstage” with Katherine Hepburn and ginger Rodgers. She proved great comedic chops and held her own. 16 yrs old! God bless her, she was my favorite female tap dancer. She just also happened to sing and act and chew up life’s adversities and spit them out! K. m ,, Florida

WOW Wonderful clip of a true superstar Ann Miller & dancers. She sure was a very talented dancer & vocalist & so,so sexy!!!!!!! From a 72yo Aussie fan.
Damn, had never seen this before, and it's as fun as any classic film number. Wished it was in color, but it seems Hollywood Palace didn't switch to color until a few episodes later. Amazing to think the work that went into this, for basically just one shot to show it off. Thank God this recording survives!

Although I love it, and Ann Miller, horns tight, rhythm section right up front and tight, however, this is bordering on Apostasy. “Bill Bailey” has to be treated with respect, as far as modifications go. Call me “old timey” if you want to, but I think these old vaudeville gimmicks need to be treated with respect, and not modernized, as such.
Ann is FORTY TWO YEARS OLD here and does a full continuous stage number of amazing stamina, complexity and all with effortless grace.
My God, such talent!
Amazing dancing and singing! Incredible strength!

ANN MILLER.....gorgeous and TALENTED beyond belief....
A fantastic all-around entertainer was Anne Miller
Mesmerising!!!
The comment section made me feel like people still have a good taste of music
Any more Dante DiPaolo videos would be much appreciated.
Super
Dante is my great-uncle!! Thank you so much for this vid!
Jonghee Quispe stats pretty cool
Rita Howard
Wasn't Dante married to Rosemary Clooney after divorcing Jose Ferrer?
Old head told me about this . So I came and it didn’t disappoint
YES!
Yes, that is Tennessee Ernie Ford.
U
I love “Shotgun Boogie” and “Blackberry Boogie ~ Tennessee Ernie Ford.
Right on the cusp of the helmet hair era.
Good song.
Oh Ann...
Don’t make me sing
Is that Tennessee Ernie Ford introducing Ann Miller??
Yes.
Damn, had never seen this before, and it's as fun as any classic film number. Wished it was in color, but it seems Hollywood Palace didn't switch to color until a few episodes later.

Yes, but it had a much bigger audience at the time than a Motion picture.
WOW - Anne is MORE than fantabulous here........ wonder what this was taken from? At any rate, thanks for posting!
I am wondering if you ever came across footage of guitarist, Luiz Bonfa doing one or two songs with Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme?
Anne
wow this rendition has absolutely nothing to do with the original song or what it was about
And no one cares, throughout history of music people have made their own version of songs.

Only Bobby Darin knowed how to sing this song.
Sorry.The song is designed for a female, it doesn’t work otherwise.
Although I love it, and Ann Miller, horns tight, rhythm section right up front and tight, however,
this is bordering on Apostasy.

LOVE her!
And THIS was FABTASTIC!
She's one of my favourite "drag queens!"
