The Way We Were
I remember falling in love with Rosie's music from watching this show. It was paired up with a Tex Beneke big band reunion show that followed it when it originally aired and I didn't own a VCR so I just sat my portable cassette player in front of the TV speaker and recorded it. Lousy sound quality but I played it until it was worn out. Many years later, I was given or traded a copy of the video from a friend who traded for a copy from his friend who traded for a copy.... and so on.. many years ago. ​The video quality is not great since it is many generations from the original but I tweaked the color a bit so it's okay, though grainy. I do not own the rights to this footage or music, just have uploaded using Fair Use Standards since this has long fallen out of circulation or distribution. This was a public television project so go out and support your public television station. Enjoy!

I discovered this "fabtastic" vocalist after her passing. What a singer. Great album w/ Scott Hamilton , Warren Vache, andJack Sheldon- she was truly a one and only who is greatly missed,

[@dale9724]

I’m 65. My favourite singer of all time. Perfect pitch and phrasing. ❤

[@philipmarlowe8763]

There’s no one better, especially for gliding right into whatever decade or genre she’d like…. Slow, fast, jazz, standards…. Her version of “The Way We Were” still makes me get emotional. Lovely person too.

Great stylist!

[@lindawoody8501]

Many years ago I heard Rosemary Clooney sing "Tenderly" as part of her "Four Girls Four" act set. That was at the Music Circus musical theater tent in downtown Sacramento, California in the heat of Summer.

[@johnbortugno5117]

Timeless Rosie, even my 3yr old granddaughter loves her version of "Mambo Italiano"🇮🇹

[@martincohn655]

I remember listening to this when I was. in high school . Loved it then, love it now

[@jackengard5718]

Her nephew George said she was the strongest person he's known. It's that's fundamental strength that allowed her to perform fully relaxed and totally living in the moment. Start to finish she was such a great talent and entertainer! And, who could forget the voice in all its broad emotional colors-amazing and lovely...

[@classictvfan76]

Thanks so much for uploading this. It is always such a joy to see her perform live in front of an audience and with a great band. Her voice was something else. She was one of a kind.

[@butchjavier7266]

Rosemary Clooney was a great singer. Truly one of a kind.

[@patrarus6097]

Great vocalist. Thanks for this wonderful upload!

[@annmeredith6217]

So amazing love her!

[@Pacabelle]

Thank you so much for this beautiful concert. It's a class act. I love her album "With Love" very much. Most of the tracks on this album are ballads. I think that her rendition of The Way We Were (51:56) on this live performance as a closing song and on her album is absolutely exquisite. The soulful sound of Scott Hamilton's tenor sax makes the song even more sumptuous and romantic. I love the way Rosemary caresses the lyrics with her voice and of course, the arrangements and phrasing are as always flawless. She is a true consummate artist and storyteller.

[@smigmator]

I love her and her amazing band as well!❤

[@MishaG9]

Wow... Scott Hamilton, so young!

[@reidwhitton6248]

Great band! And Rosemary is sounding wonderful here.

[@WhisperedDreams951]

Randall - I give you a thumbs up for this - a man after my own heart.

[@tonydialsr7190]

Thanks for this performance. Just perfect. I have always loved her music and performance. Thank you! She does these musicians proud. What a group I could only dream of working with folks like these. Hey she was the best. I"ve been around for a while and to see and hear music like this live just wonderful! Thanks .

[@SparrowStockwell]

I remember watching a Rosemary Clooney concert on PBS when I was in my teens. She did “Just the Way You Are,” and she sang a line I’d never heard before. Then, afterwards, she told the audience that she’d suddenly forgotten the lyric and just made something up. How quick she was! That was the unfamiliar line! I always thought that was such a fun thing to happen, and I’ve never forgotten it. I notice that song is on the list, and I’m just gonna wait and see if this is that concert I saw so long ago. EDIT: YES! This is that same concert. I even remembered some of the made-up lyrics. Awww...how nice.

[@randallriley]

You'll be pleasantly surprised to learn this IS that concert!

[@charmoka]

What lyrics did she make up? I don't know them perfectly - she must have done it so smoothly I couldn't tell! Great concert!

[@trinhdangngoc5859]

My most heartfelt gratitude goes to you for reviving this gem from Rosie. Thank you very much!

[@joannlamonica8067]

You're welcome!

[@kssa220]

pretty

[@kathrynpowell7109]

JOY!

[@larryshaver3568]

She was about 53 or 54 when this was done

[@jaybour7992]

What a superb performer! However, that piano hits so many sharp notes that the ears feel assaulted.

[@fasbc]

Check out my Rosemary "Rosie" Clooney ~ Girl Singer FB page. It's nice.

[@larryshaver3568]

I saw Rose Marie in person at MGM/Disney in Orlando in 1989

[@elicavazos7203]

Do you happen to have the original master copy?

[@randallriley]

No, just a DVD copy.

[@peace23ist]

Is that Doc Severnson?

[@reidwhitton6248]

No, it's Warren Vache.
