Diahann Carroll is so talented and looks so beautiful. The whole show, Stevie Wonder. Robert Culp, John Byner, everyone is so entertaining. Thank you for posting. Thank you for posting

[@4687878]

Diahann Caroll ain't that bad of a singer !! Stevie is the BEST !!!

[@mizzury54]

I think that gazing upon the beauty of Diahann Carroll when I was younger started my lifelong affinity to black women.

[@TheDeluxe79]

I luv this. Why don't we have shows like this on TV today instead of all the shit we are brainwashed with nowadays.

[@cynthialyman2636]

Probably because we're being force-fed propaganda rather than entertained.

[@4687878]

So true !!!

[@DetroitLives313]

I was 9 years old when I saw this show that night. Great memory. Rest in peace Ms. Carroll.

[@iluvrachellef]

I was 1.......I wonder if my folks watched it.

[@DetroitLives313]

@Brutha Dnubian If they were at home that night there is a good chance that they did watch. In those days we only had 3 channels. NBC, CBS and ABC. This was on ABC Saturday nights. Also, with so few black people on TV in those days, it was a treat whenever someone like Diahann Carroll was on.

[@marjodeep8685]

First of Diahann is so Beautiful and second of all that thing with the hats is crazy

[@sabrinaburnham4395]

WOW! Diahann Carroll and Stevie Wonder! OMG SO AWESOME!!! DIAHANN CARROLLand this show was absolutely AMAZING!

[@aminahshabazz8689]

Judith Jameson in her prime as the female lead of the Alvin Ailey Dancers! Fabulous!!!

[@martinfelsenfeld6012]

She was Julia! Enough said!

[@zacheryalderton8910]

great lady

[@bibleteacher8161]

Amazing, thanks for the upload. I love Diahann Carroll and Stevie Wonder. They both looked great. What a great show.

[@anti-humanity2157]

Wow, I'm a youngster and the things Diahanna and Godfrey Cambridge were talking about is still relevant

[@enolamsamoht]

Anti-Humanity Her name is Diahann Carroll not Diahanna.

[@dennispearson9287]

SUCH A LADY !!!.... TALK ABOUT A FIRST CLASS ACT !!!...

[@IAMVEBII]

RIP DIAHANN CARROLL

[@tortoni900]

Splendid and very entertaining show. That's when audiences at home were given quality entertainment. Diahann Carroll was (and still is) so beautiful and talented. By the way, has anyone else noticed a very young Cheryl Tiegs (the model) at 21:28 (the Ultra Brite commercial)?

[@edwardmartins9839]

She was stunning 👍👍👍👍

[@akrenwinkle]

Diahann and some other acts were touches of class in the usual 60s cornball variety show. And isn't she easy on the eyes... with each costume change she gets lovelier.

[@joijaxx]

This is really something, thank you! I don’t ever remember watching it as a kid and we watched most of the variety shows 😄

[@iloveloureed3464]

I miss REAL STARS.

[@ttp436]

Diahann had such beautiful hair I don't know why she didn't have it longer when younger she could have gotten more roles although I know they were limited in her early years. On film anyway. Beautiful lady inside and out. Amazing artist

[@triviaone1628]

Thay was actually a hair piece.

[@tonybarlow4291]

Hollywood is the reason many talented black actors of the time didn't allow them to fully grown and show who they are not hair

[@lancedukel3436]

What a fabulous show!

[@jehobden]

I recognize Judy Graubart from The Electric Company in the first commercial for Dry Ban.

[@MsTexas73]

Yes! I was about to post that. I guess this is like a year or so before TEC debuted.

[@JJJBRICE]

At 50:08, the Afro-American actress Juanita Moore of Lana Turners Imitation of Life is shown in the ad. This is about 10 years after the movie was released .

[@dougbadgley6031]

And in the first commercial, a young and future character actor Kathleen Lloyd as well. She played in Magnum P.I. as Carol Baldwin.

[@AloeAntinousAquila55]

simply precious

[@mca1218]

6:32- Is that not Judith Jamison?? As her star was ascending, but before she became the director of the company??

[@design17]

That is her.

[@dahliafully]

All that length and flow. That unmistakable face. One's eyes can't remove from her magnificence. It just reads beyond the beyond.

[@sabrinabrown107]

Digging the early footage of Judith J. years before she became Creative Director of Alvin Ailey. I have seen AA twice, once when I was child and the other as an adult. Both of these dance numbers I have seen performed live on stage by other AA dancers. Sidelines note: I heard when Madonna first came to NYC, she was a dancer with AA for their second dance company, she was either fired of left because Madge is who she is!!! Stevie Wonder before he became the "Music of Mind" and "Intervision" guy, his earlier performance pale in comparison to later when he started to do his own thing with the band, back up singers, jamming, doing his own more creative/innovative music. DC was very pretty here and I was a big fan of the series Julia as a child. That dress she wore at the end needs to make a comeback, it was a gorgeous looking dress!!! "What's this hear sauce"! LMAO!!!

[@jazzwatch64]

Genius Stevie. HOTTIE Dianne, Alvin Ailey, Godfrey, Robert...doesn't get BETTER than this ;)......

[@waka7278]

Dihann Carol ❤️ Stevie Wonder ❤️

[@fromthesidelines]

Judy Graubart and Candice Azzara in the "Ban" commercial [0:49].

[@jimbosan710]

We need Godfrey Cambridge today to explain to the Blacks about Colored/Black identity. He would really find African American cumbersome, especially when they are Black.

[@andrewcross4845]

Yes, Diahann Carroll is ridiculously beautiful; Unfortunately, the songs they selected for her to sing for this show were not really in her wheelhouse; for a better example of her singing talent check out the KZbin of the Diahann Carroll show with guest Sammy Davis Jr. singing Porgy and Bess from 1976. And speaking of skills what about that crazy juggler Rudi Schweitzer? As a testament to Diahann's abundant talent, even though the TV opportunities for blacks back in the 60's were few and far between she managed to land her own variety show and TV series.

[@cynthiamcgee5403]

Look how pretty she was absolutely Beautiful

[@tonybarlow4291]

Hollywood back in the day was more professional talent was honored . Now the town has slipped its about the cash and the half baked talent running around no originality no true break out stars

[@1G_G1]

Viewing this because of the sad news of her passing. What an incredible bit of history here. And quite a chance to see how much our culture has changed. The commercials are laughable in their stereotypical roles...cleaning is done by women only...in dresses and pumps! How refreshing to see Robert Culp quoting Thomas Payne. Back in the day people knew who Thomas Payne was. Reading TP without any typical Hollywood leftist America-hatred. Reading from Poor Richards Almanac without browbeating the audience about America's founding by slaveowners? Unheard of!

[@adambrocklehurst4211]

What was the opening number that Diahann sang, not the 'Let the Sunshine' but the middle bit?

[@AHMAD-2324]

Talented, Sexy, Beautiful, an a class ACT til the end RIP.

[@fromthesidelines]

Eddie Barth, announcer [1:19].

[@michellehullett297]

What year was this

[@rotricesummerville7910]

1969.

[@akrenwinkle]

40:10 Who but Diahann Carroll could pull off that costume?

[@truthmissick9830]

Diahann Carroll favors Jada Pinkett-Smith and Lynn Whitfield (A Thin Line Between Love & Hate with Martin Lawrence). Every time I look at her I think of those two women for some reason.

[@enolamsamoht]

Truth Missick I can see that. But to me she's a thin line between jada and Lynn.

[@ramona2400]

Lynn - yes Jada - hell no

[@Scocov]

They're both pretty but Diahann Caroll was exceptionally beautiful!

[@Scocov]

[@robinsmith2118]

She do favor both 😉 women

[@hansombrother1]

Too bad they didn't allow Stevie Wonder to sing one of his original songs, but I guess in 1969 for 2 Black people they were lucky to be on TV.

[@jazzwatch64]

Wondered if she and Stevie had a THING going on THEN?? Well he's a GENIUS, so I would NOT be surprised :)......... GENIUSES gets ALL the breaks and the HOTTIES :).....

[@MickeyDs14]

Hahaha. I don't think so. She had a 9-year affair with Sidney Poitier, though.

[@jazzwatch64]

Only those who knew are HER, the guy and t he man in the moon ;)....

[@MickeyDs14]

I'm about to order both of her memoirs. But she was very vocal about that affair, so I feel like it would've been more information if she had a thing with Stevie. She seems to be pretty open about her past.

[@jazzwatch64]

Heard she has dementia...too bad, because she is a HOTTIE and if I was talented and HANDSOME like Stevie, I would go for that as well ;)......

[@ertfgghhhh]

He was not her type. She tended to be with debonair men.

[@jaajaarogers9101]

Wow 😮 Stevie was so young , Diahann was only very Successful as she was married to a white man who do wonders for you in Industry, also she was lightskin (R.I.P)

[@bobby12348]

STFU dumbass!😠

[@Shontaybroadwaymusic]

Sorry, have to disagree with you. Diahann was very successful because she was amazingly TALENTED & made it happen for herself (she worked her ass off!!)!! Not because of who she was dating or married to or her complexion!!

[@wildonez3076]

Lightskin??? Where??

[@jaajaarogers9101]

@@Shontaybroadwaymusic you wrong all black famous celebrities who was treated as if they white in those times had white husbands who married them for their money Tina Turner , Diana Ross , Diahann , all under white Supremacy
