I saw this when it first aired. Funny, but this is the only segment of that broadcast that I never forgot. Even then Dorothy was one of the few left who could step to the 'foots' and sell it the old fashioned way. So grateful to have seen her live.
Dorothy Loudon sang Rose of Washington Square in one of the final production numbers on the Garry Moore Show around 1962 or 1963, and then she repeated the performance in the final year of Garry's Tuesday night variety show. I only wish someone could post these shows here.
I hate it when she breaks into her shtick (as in WASHINGTON SQUARE)--she reminds of a poor man's Kaye Ballard when she does that. But when she sings it straight (as in MY MAN), she is so powerful!
I'm not sure how Dorothy Loudon could be "a poor man's Kaye Ballard" when she was the superior talent. Oh well. I know everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, so why do I think you're an asshole?

Me too.
This is great! Always love Dorothy. Makes me wonder if she ever had opportunity or aspirations to play Fanny Brice. That woulda been something!

After this song, someone sang a Sophie Tucker tribute. Any chance you'd upload that? I have been looking for this DL song for a long long time.

The very down-to-earth Kaye would likely crack, "There's a rich man's Kaye Ballard?!"
