She was beautiful. She was a courageous woman who broke many barriers. She'll always be fondly remembered. Bravo Dorothy, well done!
No Disrespect but she is in a league of her own.
At 40 years old here, and still flawless!!!!
40 is young and she’s black that's why she still looks amazing😂
@@thetruth.7858umm whats the funny face for?
😂 = cope (laughing on the outside but dying inside).
When I think of how the men that Dorothy chose to love ultimately destroyed her, it makes this song so sad ;(
A sad tragedy stardom made her life. But, it is not a unique story. And the actress usually ends up paying a far higher price than the men who crave them.
Thus it ever was...
life is so unfair
Totally agree
Yess Ma'am! Otto Perminger!! Jack Dennison! Harold Nicholas! Thought more bout money, than his special needs daughter, Harolyn.
Dorothy Dandridge is more important than most people realise. From the Soundies to this, she was never less than stunning.
Dorothy had a beautiful voice.. she didn’t deserve to have such a hard life. A beauty too good for this world just like her friend Marilyn
Dorothy had an amazing voice!
Check your hearing..she had beauty.
@@sinclairlewis6764 gtfoh she had a gorgeous voice! Where's your videos singing?.... let's see if you can do it better.
that woman is unbelievably gorgeous!
Most beautiful woman in the world
Zenaye,i agree,i just saw the "zoot suit " video,she look like a jewel..:)
What about the other chick they do the show at the start? She's pretty damn gorgeous too don't you think?
She was so ahead of her time✨🎶❤️😭
jojo solemn yes she was but i think the inly woman who can comapre with dorethy is bernadette stanis
That's a beautiful and subtle combination of her voice and the trumpet.
On the other side, a sad document of her own life. She sounds very much like Billie Holiday.
She’s an ancestor so happy she accomplished so much for us ❤️❤️❤️❤️
✊🏾🖤 BΔΚ
This woman was a goddess, she died way too young and so beautiful.
Although very beautiful, her eyes looked very tired, as tho defeated by life. RIP beautiful lady
Ms. Dandridge was beautiful and talented. We believe the trumpeter is IVAN DIXON who will later play in the movie The Great Escape and Hogan's Heroes on TV.
Aside from Ivan Dixon and James Coburn, who have been mentioned in the comments, two other actors in this clip are Peter Mark Richman, the star of the series Cain's Hundred, and Mattie Lawrence, the beautiful black woman in the audience.
What a lovely lady 🌺
Wow she sounded great!
THAT is one good looking woman! My GOD!!!
If Dorothy wasn't so gorgeous, she might have been given more well-deserved credit as a singer.
Nah, not really.
@@stephencarter7266 Not sure what you mean. She wasn't gorgeous, or not an excellent singer, or not deserving appreciation as a singer, or unfairly unappreciated?
@@akrenwinkle She had an OK voice, but she was no Ella Fitzgerald.
I wish Ella looked like Dorothy...or Dorothy had a voice like Ella.
@@stephencarter7266 Nobody compared her to Ella. Maybe you didn't understand my comment.
@@akrenwinkle Ella Fitzgerald kinda put _this_ particular song on the map.
I did understand you, I just didn't want to admit that I didn't find Dorothy particularly "gorgeous" or an excellent singer. I wanted to keep my opinion to myself but you just had to drag it out of me.
Let's face it, she was cute but she was no Doris Day. Day was gorgeous and could sing almost as well as Ella. Dorothy not so much.
Tragic story though.
I think she took on the Kelley Smith’ version here. Miss Dandrige was so beautiful
I love myself some Dorothy Dandridge...she is super BEAUTIFUL along with her wonderful voice. I know she was before my time, but I still enjoy anything that she's in especially CARMEN JONES. If I could bring her back to life, then I sure would. I hate it when great singers like her and Florence Ballard leave US so soon. By the way, Florence Ballard is my girl also...her and Dorothy Dandridge are a tie as far as beauty in my book. R.I.P. my two ladies with magnificent voices!!!
Dorothy was great in "Carmen Jones" , but she did not do the vocals. Otto Preminger did not think she could handle the range that the operatic arias required. They were done by a young opera singer Marilyn Horne, who went on to have a long career with, I think, the Metropolitan Opera.
@@stephenperretti8847 Then why didn't they get an opera singer to play Carmen Jones?
It was very common in those days to dub singing voices. In Westside Story Marni Nixon sang for Natalie Wood and Jimmy Bryant, sang for Richard Beymer. In South Pacific, Mitzi Gaynor and Ray Walston were the only cast members who did their own singing. Juanita Hall originated the role of Bloody Mary on Broadway and obliviously had to do her own singing. When she reprised her role in the movie, her singing was dubbed by Muriel Smith. Unlike these examples, where except for Juanita Hall, I don't think the actors sang at all, Dorothy Dandrige and Harry Belefonte could have done their own singing, but like the two movies mentioned, and a million movies not mentioned, the powers that be wanted Operatic Voices.
Beauty.
she looks old here
she looks older and not old. She still looks gorgeous!
She was beautiful. Wanna show us how you compare?
imanii moore Well in this film Dorothy played a recovering drug addict so obviously it would not have made sense for her to go full glam.
Such a stunner!!!! She was Gorgeous!!!!
DOROTHY'S BEAUTY WAS BREATHTAKING.
Her delivery is everything
Wow, such talent!!! The trumpet player was so cool. He never put the cigarette down and still played effortlessly. Dorothy was a beautiful woman who lived a life of tragedy, but I still love what she left behind which is timeless works of art.
Actor Ivan Dixon!!!
What a beautiful and talented woman! I must have been 12 or 13 when I saw her in “Carmen Jones”. To me and everyone around me, it was clear she was ahead of her time.
Not sure what happened to my comment but my parents told me and my sisters about her and Lena Horne when we were little girls and Dorothy Dandridge lost herself through worthless men and low self-esteem with no real love. She was so worth it. Unbelievable beauty and absolutely no words on this woman's beauty and talent. That classic beauty
Minnie Winn i agree and i think the only woman who can compare with her is bernadette stanis!!!
If she had lived, she would have gotten a lot of television work.
Angelic! She's beautiful.
Wow! Ivan Dixon & James Coburn with the immortal Ms. Dandridge. Thank you RUclips.
great sultry singer. beautiful lady
She had it all talent, beauty
She was such a beautiful lady❤
Halle, Janet and even Whitney wanted to play the great Dorothy Dandrige in the movie version. You can see where they picked up their looks from . The one and only original Dottie! You would have to combine all three to equal Dottie. She can sing , dance and act!
who is Dottie? you mean dorethy
Jerome Holloman that' her nickname
oh ok
oh ok
Al Atherly
Janet and Whitney are clearly Black women.
Dorothy Dandridge was a White/Black/Latina and Native American woman. Halle Berry was best for the role in my opinion
I adore her! Such an amazing talent 💜
god i need to watch her movies asap she is incredibly beautiful and talented and one of those "first to do x" pathmakers besides. just listening to versions of this song bc i am smitten with this era of music or maybe just in love at this point as i have been this way for almost a decade now...hers is my favorite i have heard so far but i'm not gonna lie and say that her beauty and screen presence didn't help lol. someone else said it but i'm gonna echo: stunner!!
Multi-talented artist who could sing, dance and had beauty.
Such a beautiful voice love how she ended this song. So smooth and beautiful.
Dorothy!! We ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤you
My grandma played piano and sang this to me when I was a little girl !I loved it and would ask her to every time I visited
Great memories
THANK YOU very much for uploading this gem of a video for us to enjoy ! This is from a dramatic TV series called "Cain's Hundred", which ran for only one season (1961-62). The name of the episode was titled "Blues for a Junkman: Arthur Troy". What an amazing & awesome talent the late great Dorothy Dandrige was. She left us much too soon.... 😞
Wow, that is Peter Mark Richman in the back. He was in Jason Takes Manhattan. He has been acting forever. Love you Ms. Dandrige.
Halle Berry looks so much like her! Two beautiful and talented women ❤
not really.
Halle Barry is Dorothy Dandridge reincarnated check out Soan Bella on her.💖💜💛😊🙌
Halle berry looks nothing like her. Just her skin tone and her body type are similar to dorothy. But don't get me wrong, I honestly believe she did a amazing job of playing dorothy. Possibly no one else would probably do a good job other than halle. But if they wanted to go for someone who look like her, I would say Janet Jackson.
I agree. Both Beautiful, but they look nothing alike. If they wanted to go for someone who looked like her, I would say they couldn't. Then again, I can't think of any movie biography in the history of movies, where the actor looked like the person being portrayed.
@@Godfirst986 both Halle and Janet do. Halle Dorothy younger years Janet her older years.
Wonder, where the man I love is? This song..giving a classic sound, complimented what was made to be felt singing those words.
I find it very unique how Dorothy and I were born on the same day 11/9 💜. I love her. She was such a beauty.
My absolute favorite
The man I love
Dorothy is so beautiful
Amazing, beautiful, talented woman.
Also, that is a CRAZY YOUNG James Coburn. He was younger than me! O.o
Dorothy and Lena Horne were two extremely beautiful and classy black women.
Lens Horne was not black. She had like 25% black ancestry.
@@kaydreams6051 If Lena Horne wasn't black, she would have soared far higher, far more quickly.
Lena was Black, Native American, and European. She is mixed. But Black all the way nonetheless.
A true STAR!!!!
She was the right woman at the wrong time in Hollywood. She died just as film/television roles for Black women were changing for the better.
Show business is a very peaks and valleys business. Marlon Brando was at the peak of his career in the decade of the 50s and was an Oscar winner in 1955. He won the role of Vito Corleone in "The Godfather" in 1972. On the Mike Douglas show in 1975, Mike Douglas asked him what it was about the role of Corleone that interested him. He said the fact that he hadn't been able to get a job in two years. Miss Dandridge was also at her peak in the fifties, because of "Carmen Jones". "Carmen was actually her third staring role, but it's the movie that brought her to the fore. She was the First African American Actor to be Nominated for an Oscar in a Leading Actor or Actress category, To walk the red carpet and be an Oscar Presenter, the same year she was nominated, To grace the cover of Life Magazine, To appear at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, and sign a three-year contract with a major studio, 20 Century Fox in 1955. The contract was for star roles only. She was not confined to roles for African American women. Three of her films "The Decks Ran Red, Malaga, and Marco Polo [never finished because the producers ran out of money] had nothing to do with race She was the first African American actress to make such films. In "The Decks Ran Red" Stewart Whitman kisses her. She takes his gun and shoots him. Pure adventure. In 1958 that was very daring. In 1962 her career was in the valley. In 1965, the week she died, According to her manager Earl Mills,, she had just returned from Mexico, where she'd signed a one hundred thousand dollar contract for two films. She was to open a two-week engagement at Basin Street East in New York that Friday of the same week. Her career was on the upswing again. That's show business.
Wow! What a BEAUTY 💖💖💖

Show business is a very peaks and valleys business. Marlon Brando was at the peak of his career in the decade of the 50s and was an Oscar winner in 1955. Years later, he was no longer at the peak of his career. He won the role of Vito Corleone in "The Godfather" in 1972. On the Mike Douglas show in 1975, Mike Douglas asked him what it was about the role of Corleone that interested him. He said the fact that he hadn't been able to get a job in two years. Miss Dandridge was also at her peak in the fifties, because of "Carmen Jones". "Carmen was actually her third staring role, but it's the role of "Carmen" that brought her to the fore.

Three of her films "The Decks Ran Red, Malaga, and Marco Polo [never finished because the producers ran out of money] had nothing to do with race She was the first African American actress to make such films. In "The Decks Ran Red" 1958 Stewart Whitman kisses her, which gives her the opportunity to take his gun out of his pocket and shoot him. He says "You shouldn't have done that Baby". He keeps coming towards her as she backs away. Just as she cannot back away from him any further he drops. Pure adventure on the high seas! I love that scene in the movie. In 1958 that was very daring. In 1962 her career was in the valley. I don't think she would have done this T.V. episode if there were any films coming her way. In 1965, the week she died, According to her manager Earl Mills,, she had just returned from Mexico, where she'd signed a one hundred thousand dollar contract for two films. She was to open a two-week engagement at Basin Street East in New York that Friday of the same week. Her career was on the upswing again. That's show business.-.
i love this song!!!! Sing it lady!!!
She was so perfect the look the hair the jewels the smoke the voice the fucking waaaaiste 😣😣😣sis is more snatched then a fendi bag at the flea market
😍😍😍😍😍I watch this at least once a month.
one extremely talented & beautiful lady
She was a very beautiful and talentive woman but she looked so sad and very depresse on this film during the last few yrs of life God bless Dorothy Dandridge and RIP iam so very sorry you had to go thru life of being hurt and humiliated by people who didn't have your best interest at heart. I hope you have found peace and happiness on the other side that you didn't find here when you were alive.
I have seen the entire episode, but unfortunately, it was pulled from youtube. The character she was portraying was sad and depressed. That was the whole point of the story. It was just acting. If you listen to the speech she gave in 1963 at a Freedom Rally, where she is introduced by Dr. Martin Luther King, she sounds very exhilarated She had tragedy and triumphs I think everybody's life has roses and stones. According to her manager Earl Mills, the week that she died, she had just returned from Mexico, where she'd signed a one hundred thousand dollar contract for two films. She was to open a two-week engagement at Basin Street East in New York that Friday of the same week. Of course, there were low points as well, but at the time of her death, career-wise, things couldn't have been better.
A beautiful woman! and not only beautiful..
Halle was a dead ringer for Dottie!
Check out Sloan Bella's video about her.
I agree!
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you
And so, all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you
And so, all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love
Sang along through the entire song. I love her❤️
Dam if I met her back in the 40s I would have loved her forever and would have been the perfect man
Beautiful lady
Amazing woman like underground talent waiting to burst through the earths surface !
She can sing !
A beautiful woman singer actress in one pkg! rest in peace!

What a beauty
Dorothy Danbridge was a amazing woman she was born in 1922 when her mother left the father. She was such a famous woman and she was also had a friend and a sister named Vivian. They named the group the Danbridge sisters! Ms Danbridge (Dorothy) wanted to make it big! And she did! ❤ She got married twice! After when the marriage was done she was heartbroken... And focused on her acting! I know alot about her because there was a video about her!❤ She was truly a amazing woman! Her sister Vivian died... Dorothy lived for about... In her 40's she was trutly a amazing woman! Nobody should have a horrible life! She was a actor! I have seen her videos and they are flawless! Wow!
Dorothy’s voice sounds very similar to Billie Holiday’s here!
Billie actually wanted Dorothy to play her in Lady Sings The Blues
I love the Billie Holliday version❤️ inLady Sings the Blues
Diana Ross sings Billie's songs in Lady Sings the Blues.
@Jim Stark I agree the movie was un morceau de merde {it sounds a little nicer in French]} I do like Billie Holidays versions of the song 1939 recording and the 1946 Live Recording. It's interesting that you have the same name as the James Dean character in Rebel Without a Cause. If you're tired of hearing that I apologize.
“Funny Girl” ends with Barbra Streisand singing “The Man I Love”
Wonderful!
Awesome
Beautiful. Period.
THANKS
Dorothy Dandridge died three years later at the young age of 42.
Gorgeous women😍
The three most lovelies in the forefront at that time were Acquanetta (nee Mildred Davenport, Hampton University, Hampton, Virginia. Hollywood didn't do justice by her), Dorothy Dandridge, and Lena Horne. But in her prime Ethel Waters, aka Sweet Mama Stringbean, was also lovely. This is not to overlook those women of color who weren't that prominent in the public eye, e.g,, Suzette Harbin, the beauty tempting a guy away from Marie Bryant who's trying to catch in Lena Horne's "Love," by Ralph Blane, in "Ziegfeld Follies on 1946").
Movie: The Murder Men - 1961
Staring Dorothy Dandridge, Peter Richman, and James Coburn.
thank you for this info
She was gorgeous!!!!!
Oh my God!
Imagine if she was born 20 years later...
She reminds me of Phyllis Hyman singing about men and having no great love.
Her great love was Harold Nicholas but he treated her horribly, like Otto Preminger.
Happy Birthday Beautiful!!!🎂
Hottie Dottie! ❤❤❤❤❤
