Ella Fitzgerald, Caterina Valente, Perry Como

Ella Fitzgerald and Caterina Valente are joined by Perry Como

[@jimr4319]

What's there to say about Ella that hasn't been said before but Caterina Valente (an amazing talent also) ...to see her hold her own to the great Ella Fitzgerald speaks volumes. Ms.Valente, I bow down my head to you...respect!

[@francisalanwormald6328]

WE SOO FORTUNATE THIS WAS RECORDED!!!!

[@vbear8501]

This is sublime. I just discovered Catarina and I had no idea Ella’s contemporaries were also insanely talented. I’m falling in love with KZbin again.

[@jauipop]

LOVE this! No autotune, no drama, no "production", just music... :D

[@tangobango9653]

Caterina holds her own with the fabulous Miss Ela. Wonderful stuff right here.

[@lalagonegaga]

Ok, what surprises me about this video is not Ella (she is her own amazing self, perfection personified) but Caterina Valente who pretty much manages to sing with the great diva without appearing inferior at all. In fact, they sound completely equal in their artistry. Astonishing! To top all that, Caterina is one of those perfectly amazing European singers of the era who sang in many different languages. She herself has sung in no less than twelve!

[@thierrynivelet8151]

and spoken almost as many

[@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301]

lalagonegaga, Caterina was a virtuoso (I would guess conservatoire-trained) guitarist. She brought this facility into everything she did . . .

[@MusicByYo]

lalagonegaga She’s also a fabulous guitarist. We’re just not as familiar with her in North America. Love her!

[@deoleocap3629]

Tre mostri sacri. Due donne eccezionali, interpreti fantastche, talenti altissimi. Meravigliose!

[@BobbyPrinceMusic]

I've always loved Perry Como's laid back but still superior singing. This recording proves that he was as good as the best. Ella was the best at what she and Caterina are doing here. Catarina is easily in the same class as Ella. Listen to some of her guitar work and you'll gain even more respect for her.

Three of my favorite singers having a ball. This clip should be required viewing for everyone under the age of 40, as an example of what GREAT music sounds like!

[@ashypoet]

Almost a crime for so much talent to mass together!!! Great.

[@echovarde]

Oh wow!.... talk about two talented ladies..... this is how music used to be... Outstanding performance by two ladies of class... and then add in Perry Como... so much better than anything on TV... Thanks to KZbin and individuals for making this available to us in 2010.... Cheers... so many other great KZbin links to look at tonight.

[@andreabalestra3434]

Noi italiani dovremmo ricordarci (e invece dai "media" pare dimenticata...) di questa grande cantante poliglotta, una delle poche di spessore e valore internazionale che abbiamo avuto nel dopoguerra, ben superiore a tante sue colleghe nostrane per capacità vocali, intelligenza interpretativa e duttilità di repertorio.

[@jeanmariezeyen111]

hai ragione...ottima caterina !

[@silviasantini7574]

Hai ragione

[@crisalide9723]

Io non sono musicista, ma non posso darti torto!! Mina è sempre stata osannata ma Caterina Valente aveva una voce, un ritmo incredibile, riconosciuta con merito nel mondo

[@paulwien65]

Haven’t heard such wonderful performance in many many years .. so beautiful

[@hajdug68]

These ladies are among the very few bests! Thanks for sharing, you've made my day! I wish they would have had more performances together because I so miss these talents from our days...

[@duosiciliano1860]

caterina, un mito, un talento allora e un'icona ed esempio oggi.

[@nissonissart]

Des moments de pur bonheur comme on n'en voit plus depuis longtemps à la télé. Some minutes of pure happiness...

[@DRSA5702]

more amazing...again Catarina with another greats...thanks so much for sharing !!

[@andreabalestra3434]

Uno dei duetti più belli della musica leggera di tutti i tempi quello tra Ella Fitzgerald e Caterina Valente... Perry Como sullo sfondo...

[@jpbowie]

A flawless performance - and to think this was done with minimum rehearsal on Perry Como's weekly show. Who could do this today?

[@renofirvine]

ok i just watched this 3 times in a row-never get tired of it----it's in black and white, the stage just has a few chairs,.....but real talent doesn't need a million special effects...take that, mtv generation!!!!

[@ANATOLIACHTZEIN]

OMG imagine having ELLA FITZGERALD as your back up singer!

[@robinpbradford]

Great timing...real professionals at work and enjoying every moment.

[@MrSidTaylor]

I bet Ella loved her!

[@TahariBlue]

and I bet she loved the great ELLA!!!!

[@postscript67]

I like the low-key way Como comes in with the lyric without trying to upstage the ladies.

[@johnlorenzen4633]

It was lovely and respectful of him

[@TheJazzStreet]

i love how they moves their heads!

[@ironeagle7458]

Love this. "Scat and variations on Avalon for Vocal Trio."

[@shle42]

Three of my favorite singers having a ball. Should be MUST listening for everyone under 40as an example of great music!

[@cepinobel]

Location, location, location may be the key to real estate. Talent, talent, talent is what's needed in music and here you have it in its purest form. Wonderful performance.

[@topschlager7856]

Heinz Schlumpf Und außerdem : discipline, discipline, discipline! !

[@johnjay2717]

Wonderful! Great performers!

[@Audeladesapparences]

Deux grandes Dames. Ne les oublions pas ! Two great Ladies. Let us not forget them! Merci KZbin ;-) Jean-Jacques. (Bordeaux - FRANCE)

[@somyod2u]

This song was written in 1920 by Vincent Rose, Al Jolson and Buddy de Sylva. They were sued by Giacomo Puccini as the melody resembled one from his opera " Tosca " - he won the case and all the future royalties went to him.

[@dragonlady1965]

Wonderful! I was born in the wrong era!!! I love this music!

[@thomfish06]

this is one of my favorite clips ever

[@francisheperi4180]

The art of singing in trio in sixties' variety shows - so great, so natural.

[@direfranchement]

I don't think something like this could happen today. Among the current crop of "big name" contemporary singers, I don't think you could find three with the musicality to do this or anything like it.

[@fernandacappucci8412]

Of course they can, there are many great singers today, but it's simply not being produced by big companies

[@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301]

Yes, high quality musicianship on display here . . .

[@charlessmolover5210]

The autotune couldn't keep up

[@Octopussyist]

Maybe you just look for them in the wrong genres. Here are at least two - pop meets opera kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYuvq6V3ebWelbc

[@ladolcediva]

Thanks for posting this clip. Their voices blend together so beautifully.

[@ciberbom]
