Rosemary Clooney - White Christmas - Count Your Blessings

[@Chutney1luv]

What a beautiful treasure! My parents loved iconic Rosemary Clooney! I shed a tear of happiness around the holidays, just hearing her sing this song! Her voice was like velvet and I loved her too! ❤❤❤❤❤

u dont see good actors and singers like this no more this was the real entertainers

[@noname-bf1ob]

What a trooper! One of the few artists who was able to cement a lasting friendship with Bing Crosby. He took her on tour with him & it restarted her career 🎶

[@rr7firefly]

Rosemary Clooney did not have an easy life. There were very difficult periods, even after she first became enormously famous. But she rose above the hardships, always bringing beauty to the world with her distinctive voice and her pleasant presence. A lady with class, a wonderful human being.

Whether it’s Rosemary or Bing, that song calms me and makes me feel better about myself.

[@kennethbjorkmann8517]

She was at the top of her game from beginning to end. A rare talent.

I met her once for a signing and she was just as sweet as you would think. A very nice lady.

My Dad's favourite Christmas song was "White Christmas" Dad passed away in 2009, but I'll never ever forget him. Whenever I hear "White Christmas" I think of Dad. Also, Bing Crosby was Dad's favourite singer., & he liked the way Rosemary sang it. Rosemary Clooney was the only female performer invited to attend Bing Crosby's funeral which took place as the sun was rising. Bing had a hit with "Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day"., so his burial at that time was most appropriate.

It's an extremely rare talent to be able to deliver songs like Rosemary did, even as she got older her talent still shone like the brightest star in the sky

How moving this is. Such a wonderful reminder of how extraordinary Clooney's later career was, after the early fame in the fifties.

[@kimthompson2116]

I am so thankful for these two wonderful songs. If these songs don't move you into tears, then check your pulse. You may be dead. Merry Christmas to the cast of "White Christmas" and for the many years of joy they've bought to all the viewers.

[@desaulniers348]

I will have my kids of 13, 9 and 7 watch White Christmas again this year. I made it a christmas tradition in my family for many years now

[@mr.deedsgoestotown6155]

Beautiful songs. beautifully rendered. Lifts you up.

[@showtunestarpower]

The one and only Rosemary Clooney sings one of the great Berlin's best ballads. What a treat!

[@keilighthousediary]

Good Jesus, I'm 18 years old and even in her later years, Rosemary is still prettier than me. I love her so much!

[@angelafischettifitness]

I had the great, good fortune of having seen her perform in NYC, at The Rainbow Room. The table I sat at was directly in front of her! I could not believe my good luck. Oh, it was smashing.

[@garethtillery9767]

a true timeless legend

[@KeepingtheMagicAlive]

She was so classy! One of my favorite memories is when I got to hold her cue cards for a couple songs on a telethon.

[@marycampbell2751]

Thanks so much for posting! She was a national treasure! The embodiment of talent, verve, class, power and a deep and loving heart! I love you Rosemary!

[@jjakiefte2165]

Irving actually wrote this song after the death of his daughter. The Berlins had lived in New York where they had enjoyed many a white christmas. Now, in sunnier climes, Irving wrote this wistful song remembering the happy times with his daughter in a snow clad NY. The background lends the song's lyrics that extra poignancy.

count your blessings

[@StevenTorrey]

I remember when Bing Crsoby and Rosemary Clooney had a show on CBS radio at noon Monday thru Friday....

[@lauribennett3063]

The Best!!

[@janetlake5371]

One of the best. miss her.

[@vistaestrada]

Thank you for posting this. I am just discovering Rosemary Clooney.

[@peterraymond8470]

Oh, my gosh! She's singing the seldom-heard first verse to "White Christmas." It's so beautiful too as is she. Yes, George Clooney's auntie is pretty good. Just kidding. What a legend.

[@alexmitchell8430]

Its been said in so many ways and we all know it and yet we all forget it almost all of the time. We complain and worry about what we do not have. My brother has a little fridge magnet (what people still have them?) that says "Things are never that bad that they can't get worse". Strive for better but don't sweat "stuff" you don't have.

[@kaylahammond7554]

Remember Jesus loves you 🙏

[@26dfb]

Anyone know who the backup singers in this clip were? Did Carnegie Hall have an in-house chorus then?

[@JS45678]

Is she George Clooney's Mom?

[@AlyMcGeorgeVA]

John Smith Rosemary is his aunt.

[@JS45678]

ItsMissAly Thank you, gosh, even the famous George Clooney's aunt was famous so long ago in the movies. What a successful family!!

[@rockabillylaker]

She's actually the late Miguel Ferrer's mom. So, Ferrer and George Clooney are cousins.

[@Recordology]

And Nick Clooney’s sister.
