Charleston with Dorothy Loudon

[@sharonsassone2725]

Marvelous singing and dancing! What fun to see the young Dorothy Loudon!

[@alexbeck5705]

What a treat! Didn't think I could love Dorothy Loudon more!

[@tbec3011]

Absolutely brilliant!

I enjoyed the dancers on Carol's show, too. Was always in front of the tv to watch them on Thursday nights. When I watch this video I can see how hard they worked yet kept big smiles on their faces. Real troopers!

This was the finale from one of the Garry Moore Shows from around 1963 or so. If anyone has the finale when she and Garry's singers and dancers sang Rose of Washington Square, please post it. She closed his show with that number on two separate occasions. On two other of his shows, Dorothy sang an original number called My Crazy Sister Rose. I'd love to see that too.

Damn girl even lost a dress strap in the middle of it and just kept on going

[@rbianca1]

Fantastic!

Her dress is so fantastic. Do you think she made it herself? She was too good for that dress.

[@bigred8432]

Ha!

[@susanpayer3472]

No. There are professional costume designers/seamstresses on these productions.

What show is this from?

[@BalletBabyBoy]

It was a tv special

[@dmc8092]

So great! She was amazing!

I remember her main partner from the Carol Burnett Show. I always had a crush on him.

That's Don Chrichton, who (I think) is still with us. He started showing up in the early '50s as a VERY young man, and could do anything.
