When the brothers were young their parents (Frenchy and Minnie) could only afford to give piano lessons to one child, and they went to Chico. Harpo's heart was broken by these circumstances, but he did pick up piano bits from Chico and it ultimately led to Harpo choosing the harp. Harpo, the most loved of the brothers (and the favorite uncle of the four other Marx Bros children) blazed a truly original path in the world of comedy and in music. Chico was really of superior intelligence and prodigious musical talent, and it's underappreciated even today. I, myself, ended up studying music in college because of the Marx Brothers. They had a HUGE influence on me. Even though Harpo and Chico have been gone nearly 60 years, the Marx Brothers were and are American Treasures.
Yessir!
The Harp is the most difficult instrument to play and Harpo mastered it in a year.
Chico taught Harpo about three songs out of which he learned to play one a number of ways. When Chico would get bored playing a job,
Harpo would arrive for him taking over playing that one song as long as possible until they fired him.
That's wonderful good for you.
i just recently started piano lessons bc of Chico! 💟
@@AceripXF That's so wonderful. Congratulations. Chico would be very flattered I think. All the best to you.
Whoever disliked this have absolutely no appreciation of real talent whatsoever.
Delboy359 nah they just tried selling lemonade when they were selling peanuts
@@evenflow5491 shoulda bought some tutsie fruitsie ice cream LMAO!
Absolutely
@@connect4glyn lmao
@Ronnie Ryland i have the domain eps of marx bros on dvd n then bought the rest online on YT
They don't make em like this anymore. Pure genius.
This is show business with real talent. Watch their timing...brilliant!
Once in many, many lifetimes will something vaguely as wonderful as Chico and Harpo and Groucho come alomg---Not in our lifetimes!
Don't forget Zeppo
@@bjbell52 Or Gummo!
@@bjbell52 Nah.
@@MegaMesozoic Nah.
You can count the people with such talent on one hand, and most of them are gone now, including Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters.
The two of them together were pure magic!
They looked so adorable
Such fun, I always liked it when Chico and Harpo showed off their musical talents.
They were such a talented family that I wish I could have seen them live. Chiko passed away when I was about 16, but I remember my father talking about them and saying they were the best comedy act of their time. Now there is nothing and the world is more the worse for no clean humour such as the Marx brothers and the late Victor Borge
I think you've pretty much said it all. Zeppo died the year before I was born, so I JUST missed sharing the planet with any of them. I've loved them since I was a teen, and I would love to go back in time and see them in one of their vaudeville performances. But I'll have to settle for DVD technology.
n the stooges
AceripXF It’s tough that time flies after all these years.
C-H-I-C-O
Such talent! If you get the chance, grab a hold of Harpo's autobiography "Harpo Speaks". Very, very entertaining, and a great read.
I have to second that recommendation; I've had my copy for years, and I don't even know how many times I've read it. It's a terrific book.
A marvelous read, indeed!
Over 60 years after it was written, I'm reading it now for the 1st time....excellent...many surprises in the book
-Especially the early chapters on growing up in NYC.
a1:50 Chico loses his Italian accent and slips into his natural jewish-american one...
hardly noticed
It’s because he is Jewish
@@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635 what he meant was instead of sounding more itilian accent he dropped it n went into his reg accent
also jewish isnt an accent! lmao
AceripXF And if anyone whose confused, Jewish people speaks Yiddish and Hebrew
When they made this appearance, Chico and Harpo were in their late 60's, and you can see the aging in their hands. Despite this, these "ol' pros" still put on one fine and funny performance. Remember, piano was NOT Harpo's primary instrument. That he could hold his own with his older brother - on Chico's main instrument - shows how fantastic a musician Harpo was.
My Grandmother Who was from Napoli was convinced Chico was Italian,After all he spoke Just Like her in English.My father tried to explain ,ma ma the Marx Brothers are Jewish Boys Who grew up in the Same neighborhood as You in the Lower East Side ,She thought a bit and then said 'See I knew they were Italian'.
LMAO!
They were not from lower East side. They grew up on 93rd st and Lexington
Thanks for the correction,your right the Place the family spent the most time was at 179 E 93 st. Between Lex and 3rd..I probably confused the issue because Minnie their mom and I think their dad started out at East 10th street in the East Village.Anyway the story I told about my Grandmother was remembered from 1961.In Fact It was my uncle Frank and not my father I' ve been told Who She was speaking to.I May have confused Power Easy side for upper.In any case thanks for the correction.
@@rondecambio7375 I am from lower East side. The Marx family were german Jews and the lower East side mostly had Russian Polish and Hungarian Jews. The German Jews lived uptown. But I'm sure they met many lower East siders in show business. They were friends with Eddie Cantor from lower East side. Eddie's daughter Janet and grouchos daughter Miriam were best friends and roommates in NY
@@rondecambio7375 how u guys get this cool information? is it in their books?
In a word.! Brilliant... watched them wen I was young.and still do
Who disliked this?! How can you?!
There are people that enjoy going through videos and just marking "dislike" to annoy people. They don't even watch the videos.
Those people have no taste at all. Chico and Harpo are SO charming, with or without Groucho and Zeppo.
I bet it was the Marx Brothers haters
Wow, talent. I remember that. I wonder whatever happened to it?
Don’t know
Talent was replaced by a pretty face. It's all about looks/appearance now.
I wish I could "like" this a hundred times.
Nancy Frye qq
me too
@@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635 whats age hafta to do w height?
@@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635 im not saying ur wrong i asked why their age had to do w height just cos someone is older doesnt mean they have to be the tallest
AceripXF Tell me if Harpo is cute or is it just me?
we wont see there like a gain real talant
Both were consummate musicians, and loveable clowns !
And they’re both cute and adorable.
Ahhh you don’t full me, there is no Sanity Clause.... genius
A classic vaudeville routine done in the Marx Brother's style. Victor Borge also did it and both versions are equally good. Classic comedies at its finest.
Absolutely terrific! Oh, I love the Marx Brothers! Such talent. You don't see this kind of performing from modern people.
Will future generations have a comedy team the likes of Groucho, Chico & Harpo? I'd like to think so, every generation deserves the thrill of watching comic genius & talent like this.
There will never be another Harpo,Chico or Groucho Marx
Genius!
at their age (Harpo-64/Chico-65) they still played a mean piano! ^_^
A really good performance from almost 70-year old performers! They still nailed it!
100% undiluted Talent
You said it! They don't have talent like these gentlemen nowadays.
WONDERFUL!
They don't make music like this anymore! A++
Why weren't Harpo and Chico together on TV more often?
Steve Burstein I don't know, many missed opportunities.
There were plans to make a TV series starring Chico and Harpo as angels. A pilot was actually filmed but Chico's health failed and his death put an end to the series.
Phil Rapp ATTEMPTED to complete his "DEPUTY SERAPH" pilot featuring Harpo and Chico {and a cameo by Groucho}. But it was discovered, when Chico was examined by a doctor representing the insurance company that wrote the policies for the cast, he was suffering from hardening of the arteries. His health was deemed "uninsurable"- and the pilot couldn't be completed as a result. Chico made very few TV appearances during the last two years of his life.
@@fromthesidelines I read about that, but it's too bad there weren't more joint variety show appearances, just Vegas and county fairs.
@@antoniod health issues. their doctors were telling them in no uncertain terms to cool it
My mum actually choked to watching Harpo Marx pulling a face and I had to do the Heimlich Manouevre to save her. They were truly brilliant
This is a cool, funny story! Glad your Mom was OK. Love me some Harpo!
Huge Marx Brothers fan .....the sheer hard work that must have gone into that piece to make it look so easy and natural is amazing ......
Fantastic. Always been a fan.
Was there ever two cooler brothers?
Love the Marx’s bros!
How could I hate them? The brothers actually did well. I hope the fans like them more than today’s fucked up comedy.
i love this vid so much i could listen to chico talk all day lol love how he says "alright"
IF ASKED FOR MY WISH LIST ON TOP WOULD THE WISH TO HAVE SEEN THEM LIVE BUT THANKFULLY I HAVE THEIR WONDERFUL FILMS TO COMPENSATEB.
I would love to have met them "off stage"to see their real personalities.
@@georgealderson4424 same! Chico was such a flirt tho Irl
@@AceripXF Haha. I don't think I would have been of any interest to him. Harpo was a bit of a lady's man too I believe but eventually he settled down to a happy marriage in later life and was a good man
@@georgealderson4424 hes soooo cute tho! lol chico woulda had me blushing LOL
WOW!!! Did they ever clean this up from the movie version!
A good name for a cowboy comedian would be Gaucho Marx
Erano clowns, comici, acrobati e pianisti virtuosi! Insomma, artisti completi che oggigiorno non esistono piu'.
Loved it never seen this footage before 😁👍
GAHHHH chico n Harpo had such charming n adorable smiles that could make my heart melt
Perfecto.
omg chico sounds so cute how he says "alright alright" while calming down Harpo lol
Agreed! Love this clip from 1952.
@@texasmimi5566 yusss!!! both are so adorable!
Una técnica llamada a 4 manos, que siempre disfruté , admiré. Genios, incomparables!!!.
On my husband's account-I absolutely,wholeheartedly LOVE The Marx Brothers....such feel good comedy,a joy to watch & tuning out whatever troubles may be at the moment & planting myself for the ONE OF THE BEST early 20th century comedy teams :)) I liked this vid,only once though...Gotta allow us a trillion likes...Loved the genuine laugh of Chico when Harpo"playfully"kicked his brother's ass
First time I've seen Harpo [ really] smile-- at Chico's joke about President. Obviously an ad lib. Also, although in character, when talking to the band, Chicko did not speak with his Italian accent.
What a time in history we have been lucky enough to live in. Early enough to see and hear the likes of Chico, Harpo, Guitar Boogie Smith and Buddy Greene: Late enough to have these incredible talents captured on film so we and future generations can marvel again and again at acts and personalities that will in real life never again be seen or repeated. So lucky. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Good memories to
Such mindless amazing talent, compair to the Stoges is just no comparison.
Were they on the arpeggio archipelago?
Wonderful that they lived long enough to appear on live television.
Classic
Who can dislike Harpo ? 21 people did . really?
Shame on anyone who would dislike Harpo Marx. He was ADORABLE, and I'd love to hug him!
I am wowed by how much Chico and Harpo look alike in this clip, when they are side-by-side playing and looking at the camera and smiling. The camera angle is at the right front of them. This video really shows the family resemblance. They were both attractive men from early on right into their older age, IMO.
They looked very much alike as kids and harpo would fool teachers and other people and make believe he was Chico
Absolute brilliance. All of the brothers were really gifted performer's, but Chico and Harpo were uncanny musicians, and if I'm wrong please correct me, but I thought I read that neither of them actually took real lessons. The chemistry they had was phenomenal. I watched all the Marx brothers films on tv growing and am still a major fan.
Harpo taught himself to play the harp, but he didn't know how to tune it properly, so all his life he played a harp that was, technically, out of tune. When he was older and could afford it, he took lessons to try to learn how to play a properly tuned harp, but he never learned anything because all his instructors would just sit and watch him play, marveling at how he could do it with an instrument they couldn't get anything out of because it wasn't tuned properly.
so good...my heart runs fast..with joy
The music is still treated with reverence. ❤
Pure genius
Funny and so sweet! Any idea what program this is from?
A wag would be Colgate Comedy Hour--confirmed to be correct with IMDB. Broadcast live 3/30/52.
Great!
They must have had so much fun as kids!
Chico: then we go into a segway know wut a segway is?
harpo *shrugs*
chico: me either LOL
And it's an Italian word (segue)! 😅
@@kurtkaufman ty for the spelling i had to look it up cos i didnt know either lol 😊
@@AceripXF In music, It means to proceed directly from one section to another, without pause.
@@kurtkaufman ya i saw thay after i looked it up ty lol 😅
" Legend iconic musicians, film actors, stage performers & are the people will still make their funny stories with laughter,enjoy & memories 🎉
Their like will not be seen again.
if by any chance ur band happens to be awake during our number.....LOL
Priceless!
Lovely
Bravissimo
Ahhh PURRE GOLD!!!
They both would have been great guitar players I’m a guitar player if u can play the piano u can play the guitar same cords but playing it on a piano! Lol
thats the song they played in THE BIG STORE ^_^
can i like this 100 Xs over? lol
Love, love, love this!
Whats crazy is their first film they were already nearing 40. All those vaudeville years they did in their youth prior are lost to the ages
They did this bit together for years.. bk when it took real talent...
None better...
Had no problem watching in black and white, only had a black n white.
This is sooo nice😅
or as Chico would say Thatsa nice
@@RossM3838 Attsa fine boss!
I truly adore them both. Ever since i was a kid.
Genius
Marx Bros. mega funny & extremely talented!!!
Geez! It's like Rod and Alan at Disneyland!
Jeez! what timing they have! 😋🌷🎹
i like the way chico says "Alright"
love when chico says mamma (mammer)
Wonderful
Amazing talent
Chico was so talented, and such fun to watch.
Great ....... such talent, hopefully not forgotten.
3:10 ... and you can almost hear Carmen Miranda singing along.
Speaking of, check out the I Love Lucy "Carmen Miranda" episode. Hysterical! This one, and of course the one with Harpo, are my favorites.
@@texasmimi5566 I had a college professor from Cuba who absolutely loved the absurdity of that episode "Be a Pal.". He thought it pretty brilliant that Lucy's ideas about Cuba had no resemblance to his and Ricky's home country, with Lucy pretending to be a Brazilian singer on top of everything (and they had Carmen Miranda's blessing in all of this). Martin and Lewis later did their own version, but for my money, it pales next to Lucy's. That the Marx Brothers are using the tune, though, just adds to the fun.
So much talent! Pure entertainment.
Pure entertainment
This is pure comedy.
Brilliant fantastic geniuses. We will never see this kind of talent ever again the Marx brothers were hilarious and so wonderful humans to ever live
Totally agree.
Two genious !!!!
Love these guys
i love this vid so much!!
This is one of my favorites. I love how much they look alike in this.
