- Eden performed two songs on the first episode of Engelbert Humperdinck's variety show in December 1969: Dusty Springfield's newest hit, "Son of a Preacher Man," and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" from Fiddler on the Roof (3:32). Tom Jones appeared on the same show, but unsurprisingly, they only appeared together in the intro and outro (read her autobiography for that story!). Clip provided by sean32. Copyright 1969 ITC.

The second song was much better. She seemed more comfortable.
She's not a pop singer. Son of a Preacher Man was a bad choice. That's Dusty Springfield's tune. Barbara can't sing that shit. But she's better at Broadway show tunes I suppose.
@@brucemacmillan9581 agreed
Yes and that was kind of controversial for back then wasn't it😊
I noticed that in the second song they never showed below her dress. Her legs dominated the first. I miss them already.
At least she has her looks
Barbara isn’t dead yet as some of these comments seem to imply - she is 92 years young. How amazing to still be here at this age. True beauty !
92 years old not young !!!
She is still good looking, yeah at 92..... Crazy shit.
I wasn't aware that her age was 92. That's wild. ❤

As a 70s kid, I considered Elizabeth Montgomery and Barbara Eden some of the most beautiful "grown" women on the planet. Raquel Welch and Lynda Carter were in my dreams, too.
I'm 59 and I agree. I grew up believing Barbera Eden, Dawn Wells and Elizabeth Montgomery were the most beautiful women in Hollywood. I never saw Eden sing this song. It was rare to watch Eden sing and she did have a great voice. Personally, I don't care for her version of Preacher Man.
I had to wait so many decades to discover this video. Not disappointed but sad, one of my favourite songs. I became a pilot thanks to watching her show when I was a kid. Very inspirational.
Dam right me to.
Agreed
Wow! I didn’t know she could sing.
I didn't know she could sing?
SHE WAS DEFINITELY BEAUTIFUL!
😎
She was a singer before she got into acting actually. Just read about it recently.
I had her 3 albums and a few of those compilation type that had her.Curiousl a "preacher man" caused me to lose them and damn near all I had.
She starred in the Harper Valley PTA sitcom and sang the show's theme, a redo of Jeannie C Riley's version.
She's still alive
I think she performed in Las Vegas for several years. Eventually got top billing in her own show(s). I am glad for her. She deserved a top career.
Man she rocked that outfit.
Yes...she has the moves, beauty and voice.
She rocked all outfits.
I'm 70, and I don't remember ever seeing this before. Awesome!!!
I just turned 70 too and don't remember this.
I'm 69 and Barbara Eden was my heartthrob, way over Marlo Thomas, in fact I'm sure I owe her money. I too have never seen this.
im 69 and ive never seen this
Don't care if I wait another 70. That is just sad.
62 here, thanks to utube we didn’t miss out completely…
TV speakers back then wasn’t all that great anyway.
Lots of gems to find, Barbra’s smile makes me smile. She’s very special indeed…
She’s like the most beautiful woman ever.
My dream woman.
And She Still Is❤ Whatta Babe🎉😊💝🦅🤗🐶🌹
And how can people compare her to Elizabeth Montgomery on Bewitched? Barbara was way more beautiful and I Dream Of Jeannie was way funnier than Bewitched!
@@jonathanswift2251 Montgomery played a much smarter woman. Some of us find intelligence sexy. Way more so than the slave bimbo that Eden played. And even if you are talking about looks, Montgomery was at least an equal.
I guess it's kind of like the Maryanne or Ginger from Gilligans island debate.
I was a Maryanne guy all the way.
@@jonathanswift2251Is there not room for both? I definitely agree that Elizabeth Montgomery was stunning as well, and of course they didn't create or write the series they starred in (although Ms. Montgomery was married to William Asher, the director of Bewitched, for pretty much the entire run of the show.) I just count myself as being lucky for having been a young lad during this era. :)
Not only is she gorgeous, she has a great voice, which wasn't showcased nearly often enough, but she looks like she is having so much fun doing these two songs.
Barb 😂 Misek SURE Wi-Fi-E Can Sing, Beautiful Rising And Morning SON-SHINE Goldie Locks
Wusste gar nicht das sie singen kann 👍👍
Wusste gar nicht das sie singen kann 👍
Wusste gar nicht das sie singen kann 👍
I think she sounds great but perhaps her delivery was too restrained. She sounds Black!😅
She was 38. Fabulous.
Yeah, hottest 40-year-old ever.
I was 3 yrs old.
I always thought Barbara eden and Linda Carter were the two most beautiful women in the world 🎉😊🎉
Agreed on both counts. IMO, Barbara held the crown in the 60s and gracefully handed the crown to Lynda Carter in the 70s
Farrah too.
What you said about Linda ‼️
@@donnazentek2573 yes, but she not quite as full figured as the other two ?
Well, there was Raquel Welch, too.
For a few years in the mid-60's, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Wow.
Have you seen her recently at 92?
She’s still hot AF!
for a few years?
Times of true american blondes! We loose it forever
More than a few years.
And then came Raquel 😊
NEVER KNEW BARBARA EDEN COULD SING!!!!! How did I NOT KNOW THIS until 2024???!!!!!
Me either!!
I'm 57 & never saw this. Dad would have LOVED it, & Mom would have been MAD as a hornet!
I had to smile! I was in my 30s when she did this….married, and would have been a jealous redhead! 😂. Still married to same guy, and know I am loved! Your mom and I are alike! 😊
@@Suzi64grad I was born in May 1967. Mom turned 31 that year. My oldest brother told me all about how Mom busted Dad watching Nancy Sinatra & she was all kinds of MAD AS a HORNET! ruclips.net/video/GM1kzbAgo_E/видео.html
These were my childhood crushes: Barbara Eden, Olivia Newton John, Dawn Wells, Farrah Fawcett, Phoebe Cates, Goldie Hawn, and Barbara Mandrell.
All the above and Linda Ronstadt
The generation with the prettiest women
That's a strong list!
Raquel Welch!
@wrennobrien2077
Yes, absolutely... Linda Ronstadt too!
Barbara Eden was absolutely the most beautiful woman ever. Today, at 92, she still looks great!☺
Barbera Eden is lovely.
❤And She is STILL Lovely🎉😊🎥🦅🌸🌹💝🥇🥞🛡
WOW!!! I never knew Barbara Eden could sing !!! I was a 8 year old admirer in those days of Genie in 60's!!!
she couldn't
I was 8 too !!!!
Um... she's not really a very good singer.
@@brucemacmillan9581 Thats why she took up acting !!!!!!!!!!
@@brucemacmillan9581 The experts have concluded through years of double blind clinical studies that Barbara Eden sings lightyears better than you .🤣
No Dusty Spingfield, but here, Barbara holds her own... More importantly what a lovely spirit...
Genie, Genie, Genie, miss you so much. People today just don't have, IT.
❤
Loved l dream of Jeannie and didn't know she could sing she is one of the best
She's not dead yet (as of 4/16/24 at least). Still alive and still beautiful in her 90's
The female performers of today, if you can call them that could really take a lesson from these classy, talented ladies from back in the day!!❤❤❤❤
C'mon. This is just schmaltzy show biz bs on display here.
@@brucemacmillan9581 Give me schmaltzy show biz bs over Queen B and Jay Z crap any day honey!! I'll take it!
@@IndigoChick68 Any way YOU look at it... you lose. Fortunately, it's not one or the other. There's plenty to choose from that doesn't require listening to either trashy schmaltz, or the other people you listed.
You got that right
Well said! Barbara was from back in the days when actress's had real beauty and talent.
I was wounded in Vietnam in December of 1969. Nice to see some people back home were enjoying themselves.
Thank you for your service.
@@dyanvandino2606 Thank you.
It sucks you were there, thank you for your sacrifice
@@smb7647 Thank you.
It's amazing the videos you can find that you never knew existed.
All my life she was genie to me. But after all these years and now after seeing her sing now, she is an entertainer. Barbara was always a character on screen and her singing voice adds to her charisma.
Me too 😂.
My brother got to meet and spoke with Barbara and my sister at another time saw her at an elvis function near Graceland so she is staying very active.
I love Barbara Eden! And I think her voice is fantastic! ❤
First time I've seen her outside of I Dream of Jeannie. She had a beautiful voice, for a lady who didn't do singing full-time.
Credible job. She sings much better than I expected.
Agreed. She doesn't go very high though.
Nah she don't
In Brazil her program was called "Jeannie is a Genius". She's BEAUTIFUL and what a strong voice !!!!
Powerfull in fact
she’s lip syncing it dummies 😅 lol
@@EvgeniWagner NO!!! Barbara Eden could really sing! and she was very Beautiful; All American with Irish & Scottish ancestry 😊
Who knew Barbara Eden could sing and dance.🤷🏾♂️
She could do neither very well..
@@bearcookie13 I guess you're measuring that by your own talent that nobody's ever heard of. 🤔
40s 50s 60s most actors were multi-talented.
Musicians, singers, tap dancers, ballroom dancers, magic acts, jugglers etc.
Fantastic voice! As a kid, I wasn't listening to Barbara Eden as much as watching.
umm, the voice is not that remarkable. the rest however is another story :)
You got that right😉
Looks like it was cold in there.....
All areas of research are useful 😇
I'm just wondering where tapes like these were found, like were they in some warehouse for years since they were broadcast.
one of the most beautiful ladies of hollywood , hard to believe she 90 something . she was adorable in that dress again Beautiful.
Look her up
She still has it!
Good Lord, she was sensational. I had no idea she cold sing, incredible.
I never knew she could sing as beautiful as she looked!
That voice is not her.
@@doraexplora9046 She was a singer prior to being an actor
@@doraexplora9046 The first song sounded too deep to be her. But the second really sounded like her. Was I wrong?
A better actor than singer
She can't sing!
She is so gorgeous
Classic 60s/70s song and dance number. I didn't appreciate how incredible they were back then.
Barbara Eden was and still is a beautiful woman, I knew she could sing , because she was on an episode of the Donny and Marie show. all the ladies y'all have mentioned are very beautiful women, but IMHO I think Jaclyn Smith was the MOST BEAUTIFUL women on TV back in the 70's and 80's. She's still as Gorgeous today!!!
Both Ladies, Barbara Eden & Jaclyn Smith are extremely Beautiful - equally 😊 and what is better both are CHRISTIANS!
Barbara is talented, can sing and very beautiful!
And people are confused about what a woman is, well have a look.
👍
Great comment. You can also add this is what singing is and people playing instruments
Yes and when real men were real men. Just look at all those MEN. They sure were real in 1969.
gotta feel sorry for those idiots... Barbara Eden was God's blessing to the non-confused
Love it! Also check out Nancy Sinatra "These boots are made for walking, " and Bobbie Gentry, "Fancy."!
Thank you Barbara for making my, what seemed at times a troubled childhood, a pleasant one. By the way GREAT VOICE!!!!
Nobody cares about your childhood
She was amazing then and still is today in 2024. Go Barbara!
I never knew she could sing! I love this song. It's from my era.
gibberish? sang in at least,one episode of I Dream of Jeannie in the 1960s in color. I was a boy at that time.
I still dont!
A full barbara eden album was released with the cover photo of her dressed as jeannie but the song selection had nothing to do with idoj
Barbara Eden is multi talented star, beautiful & versatile. Love this!❤
I've never seen this variety program, but I do remember Barbara Eden performing at a nightclub in Atlanta when I was in college in the 1970s. I wanted to go see her show, but I couldn't interest any of my dorm mates so I passed. I've always regretted that decision.
I was there. It was magical. At the end of the act she made this really large sandwich, carved it up into tiny pieces and threw them into the audience.
@@ah7910 Oh, man, you're not making me feel any better. You must be a Georgia graduate.
I had never seen this either, as some of you also commented. I love it! Timeless class and beauty and talent!
She is cool, charismatic, funny and her smile is absolutely contagious. Where I can find a girl like her today?
You CAN'T!
I never knew she was a singer too. I think she just turned 92. She is amazing.
What!!!.... Barbara Eden...Singing this Dusty Springfield song.... first time hearing This ❤...
Great looks and talent! Something very rare today.
She is amazing!
I didn't know Barbara Eden could sing! Awesome!
I love RUclips just for the gems like this one I stumble upon.
OMG! I was so in love with Jeannie back in the day! The perfect blend of beauty and talent. She still looks good!
Dusty Springfield made this song her own 📀📀📀📀📀
I agree with you, but does that mean that no one else is allowed to sing it?
Shirley Bassey also matchmaker her own but I can't imagine her singing it like this,
@@mogs43 anyone can sing this song yet if you ask anyone who sings Son of Preacher Man
Answer Dusty Springfield 🌟Can't help falling in love with you Elvis🌟 Your cheatin heart Hank Williams 🌟
All you need is love the Beatles 🌟God only knows Beach Boys🌟You've got a Friend James Taylor 🌟
Fact is a song always finds a singer Like Judy Garland somewhere over the Rainbow 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Am I mistaken, or wasn't this song was one of Bobby Gentry's original hits?
@@augustusmccrae7714 You're not mistaken. But people remember things differently. Best example: people identify that awful 70s dirge "You Light Up My Life" with Debby Boone. But the original singer was Kasey Cisyk, whose name seems like something on an eye chart. She sang it for a movie with the same name, while Didi Conn lip synched it. Also, many might think Frank Sinatra introduced "NY, NY." He didn't, but he made a big hit out of it.
I love Barbara in this. I don’t care what anybody says. F yea baby!!!!
What an angel.
She still is... Playing a genie was child's play for her ♡
I had had seen the beautiful Ms. Eden on a tug boat shuttling her and others to the Miami Grand Prix and was in awe at her. I have seen other actors but seeing her was my favorite.
Absolutely wonderful....all....
Wow! She could sing and dance as well as act!
No she couldn’t
I've never seen this before. I love it!❤❤❤ Thank you so much for sharing!🙏💕
Omg is absolutely amazing!! Didn't realise she had such a beautiful strong voice. I totally enjoyed all the songs and her dancing!!
Beautiful person, awesome singer and actress and made it from working hard from the ground up. Watching in 2024 snd she’s just as beautiful now.
This is the first time I’m hearing her voice I heard from interviews,
she said she was a singer first. Love her voice, kind of reminds me of Cher’s.
That's what I was thinking. A bit like Cher, but more rich and much more beautiful.😊
Classic beauty! Doesn't exist anymore.
She still beautiful at 92 she still looks good. If I could live that long it will be a blessing.
As a kid we used to sing "the son of a creature man"
She was fantastic.
Ohh my......The sound of the late 1960's is unmistakable - Unmatched and never repeated. Jesus Christ Superstar, Hair, Beach Boys etc.... Nancy Sinatra, Momas and Poppas, Good morning Sunshine, it has a sound that has not been replicated.
That's when Entertainment was Real with Real Singers and Real Actors had no idea Barbra was a Outstanding Singer OMG God Bless you Barbra for being a real Actor and a Real person there is not one actor or singer that can pull off what you did in this video and in real life
Barbara Eden's still stunning, even if had passed 54 years.
Was she not Genie? Pretty lady for sure.
I had no clue she sang...you go Barbie!!!!
This Lady was just GREAT....what a wonderful career she had....wish I could have seen her.....Bless you always
1969..the year l come to this planet ❤ with the mission of to love her...😊
Barbara is a great singer!
Loved this show Engel was great and Barbara was so cute and funny.
I think she is the most beautiful woman that ever lived
I love this! I'm 72 and Barbara was an early crush of mine. Besides "I Dream of Genie", I thought her appearance on the Andy Griffith show as the manicurist was fantastic. Btw, whoever created these two performances was a genius. The "Matchmaker" skit was hilarious. I wish they still had variety shows like this on TV. Seems like the whole entertainment business has gone to pot. I'll just sit back and watch all of these oldies on YT.
Thanks so much I love Barbara Eden!
This has been so long back. I forgot she would sing on some of the variety shows. One of my favorite actresses back then. There were so many being a time women, of all races, were getting to co-star or have their shows or TV programs.
Multitalented, ageless beauty.
I didn't know Barbara Eden had a good voice. Such a talented artist!
I remember when she did that 'Harper Valley PTA' back in the 80's or was it 90's I forget. She is ageless!
1970’s! Harper Valley PTA also a hit song!
I changed this song so many years ago to irritate my young sister and sang: Mess maker, Mess Maker make me a mess! Mess up our house you do it the best!! Boy did I get an over reaction on this. I was just doing my duty as an older brother!! But I still will always love Barbara Eden!l
Sheez, that was beyond incredible. 👼
So beautiful
Barbara Eden not only beautiful but so talented by God bless her I know she has a good heart
BEAUTIFUL!!! THANKS BARBARA!!!!!!!
Loved growing up in the 60s. We had Barbara on Jeannie, Liz Montgomery on Bewitched, Yvonne Craig on Batman and Diana Rigg on the Avengers. sigh...
…Caroline Jones, Addams Family…the three beautiful young women on Petticoat Junction…
THANK YOU SHE WAS MY FAVOR GIRL ON TV , BEATIFUL GIRL ,
wow, when she gets out of that bottle she really gets it on.
She is and always a class act.
Thanks for the smiles Barbara !!
Charming level off the charts.
Fantastic interpretation and choreography of Dusty Springfield's Son-Of-A Preacher Man! Truly entertaining. True entertainer! My favorite Jeannie! Thank you so much for sharing this clip. I'm a fan of these two great ladies and gent.
As a young Latin lover watching her rerun’s, I never saw even now a more perfect specimen of a women! We would live a life of champagne, caviar, and hotels.
I really enjoyed this performance. Barbara is very talented. 😉
The woman is perfection.
I adore Enge and Barbara, and I love this video! So sweet! Beautiful voices! God bless their hearts!
❤ I would love to see her perform these again.
What beautiful performances!
We have no Singers today....this is amazing 😮...Pure Talent ❤
Absolute stunning, loved Barbara Eden!!!!🙏🏻❤️🌹
I loved (still do), Barbara Eden. I'll be honest and say that I only knew of her as "I Dream of Genie". What a great time in life to grow up. She was so talented and same with so many in her generation. Thank you for this, Vinnie.
What a beautiful woman, inside and out! A pure class act.
She sings great!😊😊😊😊❤❤
