saw this special back in 1970 and found it to be so intense and electrifying, I've never forgotten it. So glad to have found it on U Tube!

This is MAGIC! Thank you for uploading. I have had the record album for years...can't play it any more coz I junked my old record player. I love Lena, and Harry is a giant. I've waited 40 odd years to see this, so BIG THANKS and hugs from a fan in London!

Regrettably I missed much of this show. I was on my way back to Vietnam, laying over in San Francisco. The bar crowd made so much noise I missed this wonderful performance then it was gone! Thanks for sharing.

The energy is palpable

Please upload more. I can't get enough of the two. I saw the special when it was on in 1970 and remember how much I loved it. After all these years, it still captivates and you know that you are listening to pure beauty and seeing those magnificent faces! Thank you for sharing this remarkable video...what a gift you have given to me and so many others.

Perhaps the most beautiful rendering of this or any other song on you tube ever - scores 20/10 for me, if not not more - the visual performance is also magnificent - if there is a DVD of this I will buy it immediately - thank you for the upload - regards john

Jesus! That was more beautiful than the original!

[@millsbrothers]

Say you have MORE!!!!!!!!??

[@rutebeuf2]

it wasn't a video from the TV screen, i didn't see any of the tv frame, did you? i think it was from an old VHS at the time. i didn't do the original recording, but of course am thrilled to have what we have. thanks.

[@lenahorneclub]

Love it! How come you took a video of the TV screen instead of uploading it from the DVD?

[@rutebeuf2]

hi, yes, i'll upload another one. Don't know why the volume on this so so high. And aren't you a little young to 'appreciate' these two greats?

[@JSB1882]

I think that this is the best version of this song ever. The quality sucks here - but that album of the two of them is incredible.

Hey do you have the "Love Story" number that Lena and Harry did during this special? In that song, they are singing a song about getting married and having children and whatnot...beautiful number...it was on KZbin a long time ago but the uploader took it down. I'd love to see it again!!!

[@millsbrothers]

@rutebeuf2 not, not at all!! They are all I know, to make a long story short.
