Mitzi Gaynor "When the Saints Go Marching In" & Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" | Ed Sullivan Show

[@LandondeeL]

Remembering Mitzi Gaynor in what was perhaps without question and probably without a doubt, her all-time greatest achievement of all time....following an act like the Beatles was a hard act to follow....but she somehow pulled it off.....

[@NoName-ge6wc]

After this the audience went home and said, Oh by the way, we saw the Beatlles too.

[@strooomon]

Another great leaves this existence. What a legend.

[@dougmilesmedia]

Mitzi said the air conditioning on that stage in Miami was not working well and it was brutally hot under those lights. She is one of the all time greats in showbusiness.

[@MostlyBrenda]

This is actually the last of a three song medley and why she is already perspiring.

[@MostlyBrenda]

@@JazzFan76 She was born Francesca Marlene de Czanyi von Gerber. 😎

[@flipflopgoddess]

I wondered about that!

[@melclo3641]

Sensational, great frock.

[@jjthor407]

EVEN IN THE HEAT MITZI GAYNOR COULD ALWAYS DELIVER ! TO ME SHE IS HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY ! 😎

[@raymondgallardo576]

Broadcasted live from the Deauville Hotel in "Mi-am-uh Beach" - the same night the Fab Four made their second Sullivan appearance!

[@NoName-ge6wc]

What a beauty. Even the Beatles were impressed.

[@lorraineb.4698]

She had a beautiful figure

[@robinrubendunst869]

Such a distinctive voice… show gal

[@that70sgirl90]

Fantastic... this makes you wanna just kick up those heels !! 👠 Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@Tubotini]

Fondest boyhood memory of that night...her glistening body.

[@markanderson6707]

Yes! The next day at school everyone was talking about the Beatles, then Tom Clemens asked if we'd seen Mitzi Gaynor? Oh yeah. We saw Mitzi.

[@spyderlogan4992]

Wow~!...What an energetic, fabulous performance. Sung with verve, dynamics, intensity and sweat. The backup singer/dancers were solid too. Bravo~!

[@angeladawson3053]

Wow! That was a showstopper!

[@stuartkarp5077]

This is beautiful..her voice is amazing,her dancer are perfect to balance her talent. Plus more 🤟🎆🎇🎆

[@bethbartlett5692]

Wow, I really like her clarity of voice and her positive energy. A pretty lady. I had heard of Mitzi, but I *had* only *seen* (used with a verb) her in the Western with Jeffrey Hunter, "The Young Texans" (good movie) Those horns sound so great, "Live Muscians that aren't Sound Engineered into a vacume". A delicious sound.

[@paulrankin8578]

3:38 to 3:45 my fave part. In amongst all the lights, cameras and showbiz was a girl just having fun. That genuine smile lightens the heart every time.

[@josephschauster3689]

Nice voice and has beauty!

[@brucepappas6298]

I have this on the DVD box set of the Beatles 4 appearanced on Ed Sullivan

[@finallybrainunderstood479]

What a blast!! I want them to march me in when the time comes!!! Too 🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒

[@tonydomenech7713]

I clearly remember seeing this as a Junior in high school (we were all watching because of the Beatles)...I, to this day thought SHE stole the show. Still feel that way.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

"Saint" Mitzi just went "marching in" to her celestial abode.

[@hnc52]

That's showbiz!

[@lorraineb.4698]

She was a fantastic dancer

[@ricardosierra-show4855]

When can we see the perfomance of " Los 5 latinos " of May 10 of 1964 ?

[@lennykoss8777]

💗

[@Johnnycdrums]

This is just crazy to me. I could have sworn the Ed Sullivan Show had top of the line, overhead area microphones by 1964. Either this is a remote location and staging, or I have completely lost my mind.

[@akrenwinkle]

No, you haven't gone full Biden. It was transmitted from the Deauville Hotel, Miami.

[@Johnnycdrums]

What a doll.

[@reneleclerc6119]

Imagine being a teenager tuning in to see the Beatles.

[@MostlyBrenda]

The Beatles were the first and last act on the shew. I think three songs in each segment.

[@bobbyhall8862]

Elvis' was greater than the Beatles in every way!

[@bobbyhall8862]

Elvis was is greater than the Beatles!

[@ejgnandt]

@@MostlyBrenda Exactly, The Beatles were on the previous week, so everybody knew exactly how it would go- They would open and close and in between were the usual variety of acts. No surprise really to see Mitzi on.

[@alansmyth2204]

They asked her for her autograph lolo,ololo

[@siobob1]

Rest in peace

[@jasobres]

This was on the same episode as the Beatles' second appearance!

[@howardweinstein1324]

You beat me to it,I was going to mention that also,wasn't this the show from Florida?

[@MostlyBrenda]

@@howardweinstein1324 Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach. Today it is a Ramada Inn. I think the stage and the room still exist.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Now that's a piece of Trivia. Mitzi really sang her _____ off. Appreciate your sharing this info. Best Wellbeing !

[@adambrocklehurst4211]

Wow

[@justinw615]

I've been watching all of Mitzi's performances on KZbin. There is another video of them doing Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho/When The Saints Go Marching in, obviously the same night, but there are slight differences in her movements and in one of them one of the guys drops his hat. Why were the two different performances taped? Both are great, just very small differences. Maybe one was live for the East Coast and the other was live for the West Coast? Even sweating like pigs MItzi and the guys give 110%.

[@davidvanhouten5576]

I noticed that too, just today. Different performances but both great. I noticed because her hair is styled differently. The guys are the best and so, of course, is Mitzi. Thank you Justin for this

[@lotsaringwear]

The B-Side of My Bonnie, the Beatles first record!

[@jadezee6316]

..just a reminder that sullivan also liked all the corny junk too....here the vivacious Mitzi Gaynor is demonstrating her nightclub show

[@SuperC888]

She’s shvitzing!!

[@Johnnycdrums]

I'd just love to be one of those guys standing next to her.

[@adamcarrey9115]

They all look sweaty.

[@eightinches3671]

Miami Humidity.

[@akrenwinkle]

My monitor seemed musky after watching a few times. No, not from Mitzi.

[@permijitdunkley1697]

KZbin United States

[@jochenstossberg5427]

I adore Mitzi, and she's the one and only Nellie Forbush - but this is the worst. It's hysterical and cheap. She's way better than this campfest.

[@clete3977]

Milquetoast white entertainment. Thank god the Beatles were there that night.

[@S0nyToprano]

Wtf is this old timey boomer crap?

[@chrisn7259]

Well, this boomer watched this only because the Beatles were on the same show. And Mitzi wasn't a boomer, nor was Ed Sullivan, so who are you mad at?

[@akrenwinkle]

@@chrisn7259 I'm going to go way out on a limb and guess that he didn't think Mitzi, who just died at 93, and Ed, who would be 123 now, were boomers. I don't think he was mad, either, just didn't like this act. I think it's a cringe, but enjoyed it.

[@Volomino]

I'm a big fan of hers but .... this stunk and did not show her off to her best advantage. She's a far better dancer than singer, so where was the dancing. She was off key on many notes and too strident on many others. She was magical in her "De-Lovely" number with Donald O'Connor in the 50'sfilm version of Anything Goes. For her first performance on the Sullivan, she should have killed it with something like. I think she was trying too hard to look "contemporary."

[@wmbrown6]

No doubt in her mind that night, The Beatles were hard to top no matter how you sliced it . . . at least it wasn't the disaster that the prior week's show had been for another Mitzi (Ms. McCall with her partner Charlie Brill who were booked on The Beatles' debut Sullivan appearance).
