YES! It's true, Miss Potts was truly beautiful. And, Yes! Beautiful Angela Lansbury was amazing and talented. I actually met her in passing at O'Hare back in 1989. Got her autograph and a hug. She had the slight scent of roses. Although she has gone now, I still love her.

[@lifetodamax]

Found this for the first time today after hearing about her death. Rest in peace Angela Lansbury

[@stitchcrashesdisney312lion4]

I still can't believe I missed it out. I googled her on her birthday only to find she had passed away 5 days earlier. I was really mad no one had told me she died.

[@raptorfromthe6ix833]

@@stitchcrashesdisney312lion4it’s equally as depressing as finding out she was alive one moment and then finding out she died the next day

[@johnprovince5304]

Some time ago I became convinced that Angela Lansbury can play anything.

[@Sovairu]

After randomly delving into her career, I fairly guarantee that she HAS played EVERYthing. Great actress.

[@renarga6886]

@@Sovairu EVERYTHING, even a pinup girl.

[@felicity4711]

That explains why she sang it in that episode of Murder, She Wrote!

[@eamonndeane587]

@Imani M She did that in the episode 'It Runs in The Family'

[@face2158]

Now I know why she sang this hahah cool!

[@moniettebondu1195]

Love love love her!

[@stitchcrashesdisney312lion4]

@Imani M Season 4 episode 3 or 4😉

[@stitchcrashesdisney312lion4]

Well actually I like her performance of that song in Murder, She Wrote more than this. Her sounds better than. Must be her age. I don't know. Doesn't mean here performnce here isn't great

[@dmmillerjr]

The original copyright of this song is 1905, and back then 'spooning' was quite innocent behavior -- the dictionary defines it as 'acting with silly and demonstrative fondness'. More like flirting than petting, and certainly a long way from what the mind goes to today!

[@VimalaNowlis]

It refers to a man hugging a woman from behind so they fit like 2 spoons together.

[@stitchcrashesdisney312lion4]

And yet still in Murder, she wrote everyone is startled and embarassed when she sings it

[@shirleypena4133]

@dmmillerjr Well, according to what my grandfather told me, and he was a young, randy man when this song was first written, it referred to when a man would stand behind a woman and hold/hug her and YES, it usually included A LOT of petting, etc. It definitely went beyond mere flirting by the standards of yesteryear.

[@alextemplemusic]

According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, "spoon" meant "flirt" as far back as 1831, but it also meant "lie front-to-back" as early as 1870, derived from the earlier phrase "to lie spoon-fashion."

[@planclops]

So that's what Angela Lansbury looked like way back! I can't imagine what it was like back then when she was just emerging as an actress!

[@djs9415]

planclops Oh if you could see her in her very first movie The Bergman Boyer thriller Gaslight where she's a saucy Victorian parlour maid and not worried about a little demure flirting with the Master of the house, sleepy eyed Charles Boyer. Wowzie.

[@hrh2842]

"I'm a good girl, I am." Delivered as if she'd been in the business for decades.

[@davidpar2]

planclops you should see her in Samson and Delilah (1949). She was ripped

[@AngelWivABentHalo]

Just over ten years ago I stumbled across this song, shared it to Facebook and my now husband started flirting with me on my post after being friends for 3 months. Thank you so much for putting this online. I have since bought the DVD of til the clouds roll by for my family and become obsessed with this song. This evening the news broke that Angela has passed away and my first thought was of this song where she isn't even a named part. Thanks again for sharing this and indirectly encouraging my love of nearly 11 years to talk to me. ❤️

[@aminaammar2770]

Whenever I hear and see her singing The yellow Bird, I start to cry... She is so talented in so many ways, she CAN play anything, and yet she always stayed a character actress and a true artist, and even more important - a true lady... For me, she shall always represent how a real actress should work, behave and live. A genuine diva, may God protect her. Mrs. Lansbury, if you ever read this - I love, respect and admire you!

[@Joseph-wx1kb]

She is very talented in all her characters she portrays

[@leprechaunstud582]

Her singing of GOODBYE LITTLE YELLOW BIRD is absolutely heartbreaking. This performance--along with the one in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE--are two of the best things she ever did.

[@moniettebondu1195]

Perfectly expressed!!!🏆🎁💪🙏❤

[@operettist943]

Happy 96. Birthday, Dame Angela!

[@vladdybrooker]

Thumbs up for the man at the pub who heard us say 'spooning' and recommended the song!

[@face2158]

When Angela sang this in Murder she wrote It seemed to me like there was a reason almost like it was a tribute to something .. and little did I know here it is. Awesome!

[@stitchcrashesdisney312lion4]

I have to admit I thought that it was written for the scene just like the "early one morning, just as the sun was rising" line before. I see I was wrong. Totally wrong.

[@johnheppenstall4904]

I've just seen (July '24) an episode of Antiques Roadshow US, where someone had brought along the very frock that Angela Lansbury is wearing in this movie. The woman bought it at an MGM sale in 1970, so I had to see it for myself. Lansbury was so lovely.

[@eximago]

Ha! That's exactly how I ended up here too! Just browsing reels on Facebook, and I just had to see the dress in all its original glory.

[@kamarvika]

Love angela and the shoes look at her shoes

This song and dance routine is a classic and I love it. :)

[@georgeharrisonlover4300]

I came here because of a Murder, She Wrote episode in which Jessica's British cousin Emma MacGill (also played by Lansbury) sings this song.

[@jandelisle5357]

she is amazing

[@TheTransatlanticExchange]

One of my favourite musical performances from one of my favourite films, the underrated, "Till the Clouds Roll By." The music and songs from the great Jerome Kern still live today as part of The Great American Songbook. "Spoon with Me" was written for the musical comedy "The Earl and the Girl" by Jerome Kern in 1905 and this version quite fittingly matches its Cockney sound with an ensemble dressed as Pearly Kings and Queens. Angela Lansbury could play virtually any role and was a master of dialects. She is one of the very last gems remaining from the Golden Age of Hollywood and it's very much hoped she will continue to contribute to an extraordinary legacy.

[@maggiemckinnon6909]

Angela Lansbury is what 92 now that just proves life goes pretty quick

[@renarga6886]

92, still healthy and working!

[@globalman]

I often lament that most of the world only know this brilliant, beautiful and talented lady from Murder She Wrote. A pleasant series yes and it gave her stability and great wealth. But She was oh so much more.... from "Gaslight", "The Portrait of Dorian Gray", the above bio pic, 'Manchurian Candidate", "The Reluctant Debutante" to Broadway's "Mame" and so much more..... a magnificent Lady and career! Thank you for the lovely clip.

[@GREGAUSTI]

Happy 94th Birthday you awesome lady xxx

[@renarga6886]

She was born in 1925.

Just saw her dress on The Antiques Roadshow!

[@williamarndt9465]

This very DRESS was just on Antiques Roadshow. A woman bought it in 1970 when MGM sold off all their artifacts. For $25.

[@devanshepard9118]

RIP Ms Lansbury

[@AliTass]

I love Angela Lansbury sooo much! I've noticed that her British accent is not as strong as it was here in comparison with her later golden years in tv series and movies. She sang this song as Emma McGill, Jessica Fletcher's British cousin, in Murder She Wrote and her accent when she sang this song was not as strong!

[@eamonndeane587]

Decades of living in America turned Angela's London accent into a Transatlantic one

[@AliTass]

@@eamonndeane587 oh my goodness... Really? 🤔 It's very unique sounding by the time she's in Murder She Wrote. You can say that she's acting as an American lady, but when she starred as Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast her British accent is quite faint there

[@AliTass]

@Michelle Nightengale there was another episode where she sang it for a family and the family's father wanted Emma McGill to inherit his fortune. I forgot which episode that was

[@dianavictoriaaljadeff5302]

Donald Pippin;its Angela Lansbury singing here .She isnt dubbed in this song.She was only dubbed in the film The Harvey s girls because they wanted a more sexy voice for the role.

[@renarga6886]

Can't believe they did it! She is such a great singer!

[@alyssabrownridge2976]

nooooo that's her? awesome!

[@KyuuTomoyaki]

Classic.

[@suzannesadiiqa]

Watch her singing 'little Yellow Bird' from the Picture of Dorian Grey..........she was soooo good in Manchurian Candidate and The Private Affairs of Bel Ami.

[@iluvmusicals21]

Angela herself said that her voice was dubbed in "The Harvey Girls", but not this movie. It was an interview with Robert Osborne.

[@johnathanclark79]

RIP

[@kamarvika]

I'm wondering is there still any musical theater like this in this era ????

[@AngelWivABentHalo]

Thoughts that went through my head: Angel Lansbury?! :O And spooning :O This is far away from Bednobs and Broomsticks and Nanny McPhee :P I love old musicals! This is amazing!

So, she maintained the same hairstyle for 70+ years!

[@Pipmus]

THIS CLIP IS NOT USING ANGELA'S VOICE IT WAS A HOLLYWOOD DUB. IN AN EARLIER FILM SHE DID SING "LITTLE YELLOW BIRD" IN HER OWN VOICE. THA'S ABOUT THE TOTAL TIMES THAT FILMS USED HER VOICE. A PITY WASN'T IT?

[@edwardharbur4907]

No. In both "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (the film you're alluding to) and here in "Till The Clouds Roll By", she is doing her own singing. And why are you typing entirely in capital letters?

[@chattyroz2934]

There's not the slightest doubt that this is Angela's own voice. It's quite distinctive.

[@waif57]

THIS is her voice. She was dubbed in "The Harvey Girls."

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Spoon with me? Hmmmmmm ... rather racy, eh?

[@santamariadelfiore3343]

Gli spettacoli di una volta non quelli orrorrori contemporanei di sola programmazione mentale tossica almeno li si davano un freno e c ' era un po di qualita' ora e uno schifo la tv il cellulare ecc

[@Pipmus]

Edward: My comments are correct. Angela's own voice was used only in "The Picture of Dorian Gray" singing "Goodbye Little Yellow Bird". In "Till the Clouds Roll By" it was not her voice. This is the true facts.

[@Slaughterbugs]

Prove it.

[@StrikerThePurpleFrog]

You're just flat out wrong on this one. Her voice even contains distinctive tones that are exactly her voice.

[@wayneschlaegal]

Striker The Purple Frog maybe he'd say they got the same person to dub it forty years later when she "mimed" it in ep 6 season 4 of Murder She Wrote?....

[@hrh2842]

Agree with you Mr Pippin. It does not sound like AL.

[@willperdue4429]

He voice was dubbed in Harvey girls not this movie. I saw a documentary on her and she did this song and brought it back on murder she wrote when her cousin who is played by Angela Lansbury sings it

[@MegaJimbee]

It is so innocent. Yet, when she does it, it seems a little dirty, doesn't it? :)

[@timfrancis7430]

Judy Garland has more talent.

[@edwardharbur4907]

What in hell is that dumb comment supposed to mean? They're both incredibly gifted artists...comparing them is as idiotic as likening a cranberry to a painting by Utrillo. But then, trolls live for creating conflict and starting pointless arguments.

[@nspector]

Eh, cranberries, used correctly, are always better than Utrillo paintings. Everyone knows that.

[@AllenMQuinn]

It's not a competition. Judy and Angela are extremely talented women in their own respective ways.
