Me thinks this number was prerecorded and Kay lip-synced. Vocal quality not related to exertion of the dancing. Plus, no mic could follow all that dancing. Before body mics. This was the process for Hollywood musical numbers.

I love how she’s always keeping time with her left leg Also I do find the bit at the end quite funny. From other episodes of the Milton Berle show, it’s obvious they’re tightly scripted. Kay is just a fabulous actress that it’s harder to tell here I think. Berle does these low digs at the guests and he allows them to dish right back.

This rendition of the song is VERY well done and - to me - Miss Peters is singing it as if the realization/truth has JUST occurred to her. She's in shock. She's numb. She's not sure what to do next. It's almost sung expression-less but there is TONS of emotions going on underneath the exterior. The eyes are the give away. I don't think you could sing or present this song any better than how Bernadette sung it here. WOW!

@allmusicservices Жыл бұрын

I agree. It's a definitive performance. I tracked it down (don't remember how/where) and uploaded it because I never forgot it after having seen it only once, when it originally aired, maybe around 1970 (?).

Your analysis of Bernadette Peters' interpretation of the song is wonderfully shrewd & perceptive. I've loved her version for years & for the very reasons you wrote about, so it was startling to read my very thoughts so simply & clearly expressed! And certainly better than anything I could've written. I got goosebumps reading it, & couldn't tell whether it was your comment or her performance that brought them on so quickly & intensely. Probably both. Bravo! Wow, to be sure.

Who was the choreographer of that number?

@allmusicservices 2 жыл бұрын

I think it's safe to say that it was choreographed mostly, and probably entirely, by Kay Thompson herself. Around this time she had that extremely successful nightclub act with the four Williams Brothers, an act devised and choreographed by Kay, and known for its explosive energy and movement. And I'm confident this number is adapted from "I Love a Violin" as performed in her act--but for far more dancers. I would bet money on this. In a pinch, I'd ask my pal Sam Irvin, who wrote the terrific, authoritative bio of her, KAY THOMPSON: FROM FUNNY FACE TO ELOISE.

While she was fabulously talented as a vocal coach, vocal arranger, & all-around interesting/talented person, there's no indication that she was adept at staging dance numbers. It seems she left that to the pros.

I am a 48-year-old Japanese and I do appreciate Kay Thompson. No other person could be as versatile as she was. She played the role of Maggie Prescott in “Finny Face”. It was her only chance to work as an actress. Nevertheless her singing and dancing were fabulous. She is the Godmother to Liza Minnelli; she was a great pal of Liza’s mother Judy Garland, whom I also adore.

You're right, or as it's usually written on the internet, "your right." His last word and expression seems to cast doubt on what sex Kay is. Outside the business people didn't know, but inside, it was known Kay was a lesbian. I could be wrong, but I think Milton's snark, which he held back until Kay made her exit, was based on that.

Micheal Mascioli Many, many thanks for sharing this with everyone. A quiet evening in the 70s watching the Carol Burnett show, and she announces a young singer named Bernadette Peters singing a slow tune called "Blame It On My Youth." After a few bars I started to get goose bumps. Wow ! What a beautiful song, what a moving delivery. The only other time I was so bowled over by a "pop" song and a "pop" singer was "The Man That Got Away" in that long, iconic take by Judy Garland in "A Star Is Born." Owning the DVD of the movie means I can watch Judy sing Harold Arlen /Ira Gershwin any time I choose. I'd given up on ever again seeing Bernadette sing Oscar Levant and Edward Heyman's masterpiece. I did recently discover Keith Jarrett's amazing, soulful piano reading. Superb ! Now, having access, after 45 or so years, to Ms Peters artistry with an 85 year old song, my hopes are fulfilled. Thanks again !
