Julie & Carol at Carnegie Hall - History of Musical Comedy

Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett singing a Medley..I LOVE it :).
No copyright infringement intended. This is for the joy of Julie & Carol fans only :).

[@keaira4703]

With Carol's awkwardness, humor, and strong beautiful voice and Julie's gracefulness and soft beautiful voice, they make the perfect team.

[@Shamsithaca]

+Keaira Cox Julie has a huge powerful operatic voice! But yes, she does have certain soft qualities which makes her voice so unique and incredibly beautiful, we will never see another quite like her ever.

[@gaelmacgregor]

For those wondering about the songs used... remember that this was a special which aired in 1962, so all the songs were from Broadway musicals prior to that. So there may be quite a few unfamiliar to modern audiences -- and here you go: *Every Little Movement - from "Madame Sherry, 1910 *Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life - from "Naughty Marietta, 1910 *Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, Along the Highway - from (Naughty Marietta, 1910 *Look for the Silver Lining - from Zip Goes a Million, 1919 [which was a flop, and the song was re-introduced in "Sally" from 1920 and became a hit] *Limehouse Blues - from "The Revue of 1924" *Fidgety Feet - from "Oh, Kay", 1926 *I Love Your Funny Face - from "Funny Face", 1927 *'S Wonderful - from "Funny Face", 1927 *Hallelujah! - from "Hit the Deck", 1927 *Why Was I Born? - from "Sweet Adeline", 1929 *Don't Ever Leave Me" - from "Sweet Adeline", 1929 *Dancing in the Dark - from "The Bandwagon", 1931 *I Get a Kick Out of You - from "Anything Goes", 1934 *Get Out of Town - from "Leave It To Me", 1938 *Where or When - from "Babes in Arms", 1937 *More Than Glad to Be Unhappy - from "On Your Toes", 1936 *I've Got You Under My Skin - from "Born to Dance, 1936 [movie] *Begin the Beguine - from "Jubilee", 1935 *I'm Just a Girl Who Cain't Say No - from "Oklahoma!", 1943 *Wouldn't it Be Loverly? - from "My Fair Lady", 1956 *A Boy Like That/I Have a Love - from "West Side Story", 1957

[@chrissyr8387]

The cruelest trick god or the universe ever played was taking Julie's voice away

[@penelopelopez8296]

I still think that she may get it back. You never know.

[@janschiebout7955]

God didn’t take away Julie’s voice - imperfect men, age and Satan did. She was 62 when she underwent surgery on her vocal chords, certainly no spring chicken, and she had had a 50+ year run of perfection, remarkable for any voice. Hers was special! I would like to know why no one thought to insure her voice in the fist place. She had to sue the hospital and doctors stead. Voices age, and especially soprano voices. It’s very painful to listen to an older soprano sing with a vibrato that spans an entire octave, who doesn’t understand how painful it is for the listener to hear it and he audience smiles but pities the singer. People who blame God instead are doomed to misinterpret life. Julie never sang a cringeworthy song, so her record remains flawless. And Julie didn’t let her misfortune stop her. Dame Julie is also a prolific writer, educator and artist, at almost 87 years old! Her awards are numerous, and her charm endless. She is my mom’s age, and we will always cherish the wonderful experience of Julie Andrews and her multifaceted talent.

[@MsSoundguy]

I turned 65 today. I had to watch this again. I was 15 when this was on. It's such an amazing show. I bought the LP as soon as it came out and played it (and especially this and "Big D") a lot during college. I memorized the whole thing. I wanted to be Julie, but I did a better Carol. While the rest of the medley is fun, I always get chills with "I have a love..." The switch from playing it for laughs from Carol to Julie's conviction should be seen (and understood) by any acting hopeful.

[@angelbabies7]

I hope your current birthday is wonderful and you can watch this again ❤️

[@BTURNER1961]

Its that West Side Story Medley that shows so much. If you can, just watch Carol; listen to Julie. No surprise where the laughs come or the pure voice. Keep watching as Carol stops, freezes and slowly recedes into the deep background,while Andrews reaches her climax both vocally and dramatically. Keep watching Burnett as she moves into pathos, memory, pain. Its all in that face that got guffaws moments before. Julie is not done yet expressing that simple yet eternal truth about love.

[@Knappa22]

I think this should be shown to all young people aspiring to do musical theatre... to show them what it means to be consummately professional, tasteful and classy.

[@Lionloverky]

Carol got her when she started singing Wouldn't It Be Loverly

[@boydcrowder9841]

They are/were such a good team! Julie Andrews being the heavenly voice, while Carol Burnett's earthy humor keeping the vibe grounded.

[@georgenotsmith2804]

Classic! I do NOT agree that Carol is awkward & ungraceful here, as expressed by at least one person herein. She couldn't have made it onstage at all if she were. But contrasted w/ Julie Andrews, how many of us would out-shine her? And considering JA's vocal strengths, it is a tribute to their friendship that this sort of thing happened several times...check out YT for more of the same.

I never get tired of seeing this video. Julie Andrews in this clip is so amazing and adorable. And Carol Burnett is very amusing.

There are quite a few other videos on here where they have collaborated since this performance! you should check them out:)

[@Harringtonml54]

Ty Nash They've been best friends since their agents introduced them around 1960. They first worked together when Julie guest starred on THE GARRY MOORE SHOW, where Carol was a regular. I think Julie guest appeared on at least one other episode of TGMS. This special was filmed in June 1962 (Julie is actually 4 months pregnant here) and they won the Emmy for outstanding musical program the following Spring. Carol also won a separate Emmy for her performance in it. They reunited at Lincoln Center in 1971 and a third time in 1989.

[@jrlexjr]

60 years ago today on 11 June 1962. It was worth a revisit.

[@arleiabellewen]

LOL! Carol's wacky personality, and Julie's sophisticated air is a perfect mix!!

[@ElloryZossum]

Oh my god. Words can't describe the sheer genius force on that stage. There's nowhere for society to go but down.

[@dorothysboy1]

The talents of these two Dames is not to be underestimated. I truly believe Carol Burnette is one of the funniest comedians of all time! Julie Andrew's another legend who's golden voice is one of the best also, until that horrid, incompetent doctor nicked her angelic vocal cords. I've adored and loved these two giants of Entertainment. Both legends in a class of their own. The chemistry of Burnette and Andrew's is so apparent. They have worked together quite a bit and are life long friends. Can say enough about these two Unique ladies. 😊❤

I'm in tears at the fun and the beauty of this wonderful clip. Julie's voice is at its absolute prime, able to do virtually anything. And it is wonderful to hear Burnett's voice when she used a wonderful head voice. Her voice remained wonderful, but she had to belt so much on her show. People forget what a great musician one must be to blend with Andrews, Merman, et al.! Anyway, this is sheer heaven, and the the final duet is heartbreaking.

[@Harringtonml54]

Actually, it was taped live in 1962. Julie was pregnant with her daughter Emma, who was born about 5 months later. They won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Musical Program in 1963, and Carol won a performance Emmy for it at the same ceremony. The program was directed by Mike Nichols. Watch the other segments of this altogether splendid offering, including the hilarious send-up of then-running Broadway hit THE SOUND OF MUSIC (a couple of years before Julie filmed that magnificent movie).

[@BlaiddDrwg896]

That was back when people could really sing. Before the dark times. Before Autotune

[@mysterysurf4554]

1) Plenty of people can sing quite well without autotune. 2) If autotune had been available 50-60 years ago, you can bet there would have been people using it then. 3) You left out the part where when you were a kid you had you had to trudge 20 miles through the snow to go to school.
