Ginger Rogers appeared twice on the Sullivan show. This was her second appearance. As others have noted, this song is from "Hello Dolly" and you can also watch Pearl Bailey perform this production number from a different episode on this channel.

Brilliant & a Great Star in her own right. As she proved in her London Palladium Show ‘ Just Me ‘ 1976 - Breathtaking! All her best Ginger & Fred Numbers- complete with beautiful costume changes - All the big routines, with huge Top Hat &!Tales Male Chorus lines - a stall at front - Even the over the tables routine Swing Time . Then she would every now & then , after a number come to front a beautiful negligée , with the gold feather broach on “ Feathers 🪶 I hate Feathers “ . “ I was quite right “ -, and continue her life story - FIT - just normal calm , that lovely bubbly voice - Did Pig Latin - Erway ina the unyma and talked about her clowning with Warren & Dublin and Buzz . Her Mother & no nonsense with any male. Fred & his wife- so jealous- not allowed to kiss . Another glamorous change, routine & back again , a wonder - Love her instrumental “ Any Yam today “ . Has to be right one - Biased- she is a relative. - my mum & grandpop used to speak in pig Latin, about family in same room! I caught on young, hysterical. We were part of first family to go over to America & survive and thrive Deep affection for “ Old Country “ . So Kathrine Hepburn- Cousin Ginger Rogers & other cousin Lucille Ball & between them they stitched RKO up a plenty - GO GIRL-Power & MGM - There you go am I proud of the Love & affection still shown - Oh a ps Katherine’s next door neighbours -?the rich Bennet Sisters - they didn’t need money , like Dolores del Rio , they did it just for fun . My Love & thanks to all you. David.

I couldn't help but speculate how much better the movie version would have been with Ginger Rogers as Dolly. No disrespect to Barbra Streisand, but she really was too young at the time for the part.

@@Scorchy666 Streisand was a miscast and too young for the part. Even she admitted that. And pairing her with Walter Matthau, what an odd choice. A Rogers/Astaire casting would have been far more endearing to watch.

@@Scorchy666 Agreed. Astaire would have been horribly cast as Horace…he wasn’t much of an actor…and Rogers didn’t have the singing (or acting, if we’re honest) chops for Dolly.

People would only have wanted to see the 2 of them dance together. Not enough dancing in either role. Streisand and Matthau, however miscast, were currently bankable stars at the time.
