I remember her so well growing up. She had a wonderful variety/ talk show that was just terrific. I love her voice. Very underrated.

[@ericdreizen1463]

Ella knew. They were close friends & she guested frequently.

[@user-nf4pf8cd9s]

Diana's voice is much better than Frank Sinatra's, she has a deep voice, it involves the lungs and the entire speech apparatus, at the same time Sinatra had a clamped voice with a small range, exceeding which Frank broke into a scream and did not sing. Therefore, Sinatra once defiantly danced to Diana during her solo.

Yeah but the music from thwt era will never lose its spark to thoae with an eltric old good taste 👌

What is amazing about this video is that this is one continuous shot from a 300 pound RCA TK-41 color camera. Those things were monstrous and had to be mounted on a crane! Notice how the camera "floats" through the entire number. Given that she had a wireless mic to boot, this had to be sometime in the mid-60's pretty high-tech for the time.

[@thechemi5083]

Hmm i would've assumed this was Studio quality recording Not live. But maybe very great performance if so.

[@foydboyd4802]

+Ericjc49 Greetings Eric, The USA started color transmission in 1952-53 but because not everyone had a color TV the Television Producers at that time right through to 1965 kept filming a lot of TV shows in monochrome (Black & White) to save on production costs. There was a TV Industry survey in early 1965 and there was an agreement to switch all Television productions to color by mid 1965-66 Season. Also, my parents were married in 1948 and the womens' hairstyles were very different during the 1940's and certainly NO color in 1948, possibly production still photographs for publicity but not in transmission. Here in Australia for February we ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY HOT SUMMER !! thankfully THIS library IS FULLY air-conditioned !! "Have Faith In God"(MARK 11:22)

[@johnbattles1002]

Drew is correct on the general era of this variety show. But Dinah did actually record it in 1947, and it was a featured song in the 1948 movie "The Paleface," starring Bob Hope, Jane Russell, and Roy Rogers. When I was just a boy, way back in the 60's, I used to make fun of her name and call her "Dinosaur." But Dinah was a real rare gem of charm, beauty, elegance, and an exquisite voice! Still is, through the wonderful means of archival preservation!

That final is so high and so sweet and smooth with terrific backup from the Harry Zimmerman Orchestra (looks prerecorded and no big deal).

[@Vinbrugh]

Just great, love the swaying dress...thought she was a tad naughty laughing at that guys "instrument" poor guy, I sure it was very innocent!

[@mkl62]

To all you pro wrestling fans: This was the #1 song in the USA when John Sutton came into the world (January 15, 1949). He would later become a manager known as Sir Oliver Humperdink. Dinah & John, we miss you both. You were both good at what you did. Thank you both for the memories. We will never forget you.

[@WWFWomen]

East is east and west is west And the wrong one I have chose Let's go where they keep on wearin' Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows Rings and things and buttons and bows. Don't bury me in this prairie Take me where the cement grows Let's move down to some big town Where they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes And you'll stand out, in buttons and bows. I'll love you in buckskin Or skirts that you've homespun But I'll love ya' longer, stronger Where yer friends don't tote a gun My bones denounce the buckboard bounce And the cactus hurts my toes Let's vamoose where gals keep a-usin' Those silks and satins and linen that shows And I'm all yours in buttons and bows. Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes And French perfume that rocks the room And I'm all yours in buttons and bows. Buttons and bows, buttons and bows

I came searching for this song. The volunteer singing group I am in , who sing in aged care homes , have this song in their repertoire . I’ve been winging it for a few years , but I always stumble a bit . So I thought it was about time that I got it right ! I love these old songs . Fun to sing and play along with on my ukulele . They transport me to another era . The residents , at the homes we go to , absolutely love us singing the old time tunes for them . ❤️😊

@cadz4me I agree with you. In those days, no one in his/her right state of mind would go out without dressing "properly". We learned "good manners" in school (not that we always applied those but...). You had to show respect to people, your word was very important, etc... We were not called "ugly Americans" by other countries either. How sad. L
