Nancy Wilson "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@daddygrace253]

I was born in 1955 June 26 and I grew up in the 60's & 70's listening to artists like Nancy Wilson and Dionne Warrick. These black women were classy with style and etiquette. Trashy performs like Beyonce and Megan Thee Stallion can learn etiquette and decorum from great artist like Nancy Wilson, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Mary Wells, Diane Carroll, Shirley Bassey, Martha Reeves, Roberta Flack, Minnie Riperton, and Mahalia Jackson. I am here January 1, 2025 at 2:22 a.m. listening and watching this video.

I've watched this video an unhealthy amount of times over the past week. My mother considers Nancy Wilson her favorite singer, and I didn't pay much attention as a child, but now... I get it. Nancy was spectacular-sassy, refined, and classy. An absolute goddess. RIP to "The Girl With the Honey-Coated Voice" 🤎 ✨

[@thegiftedmarki5399]

Sounds like me with Aretha Franklin

[@Robert-qm5so]

We're in the me boat

[@rbh1324]

Couldn't agree more! She was DEF a one of kind!❤

[@Dion_Mustard]

EXTREMELY UNDERRATED SINGER...She is up there with the greatest singers in my opinion!!

[@MrBrown-mw9il]

1000 percent 👍

[@wiggluededgessnatched]

absolutely... even upper the Queen of Soul Aretha.... she's in the level of Pearl Bailey, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald

[@laila11778]

I think so, too♥️

[@JudithBullock-rw7gt]

Not many could compete. Agreed

[@cliftonboyz1959]

what a brilliant performer. she captured the essence of soul ballads.

[@SaxonC]

I was very young when The Ed Sullivan Show went off the air and I can’t believe that for 23 years, people could tune in to watch talents like Judy Garland, Nancy Wilson, The Supremes etc all the while, in the comfort of their own homes!

[@Weesperbuurt]

Very soulful. She was 32 here.

[@arlenecerf8833]

Hmmm, I maybe wrong but I think she was 32 here not 37 given that she was born in ‘37 and this was in ‘69. I maybe wrong though

[@Weesperbuurt]

@@arlenecerf8833 Yes, Arlene, you are absolutely right. Thanks for taking the time to point out my mistake.

[@arlenecerf8833]

@@Weesperbuurt hi! No worries 😊

[@Oskar-o2d]

She's 32 forever

[@UncleDansVintageVinyl]

A few months ago, I bought a bunch of old vinyl that included Nancy Wilson's "How Glad I Am." I have been listening to it a bunch. She was superb.

[@JoannHines-g6f]

Happy Heavenly Birthday Jazz Queen!! ( February 20th)❤❤❤❤

[@arlenecerf8833]

Ms Wilson really felt that !!!!!!!

[@chingymydawgie9227]

She made it her own

[@bobbiehubbard579]

Love Ms Nancy Wilson ❤

[@OoLOSTWORLDoO]

no one can deliver a song better

[@thomasbrown3325]

I was watching Vikki Carr sing this song on Ed Sullivan and then KZbin then led me to Nancy's version. Vikki's rendition is great, but ultimately it is just a first-rate cover version. There is no topping Nancy's very original and personal take on the song. She really makes it her own.

[@leongardner710]

The lady was in a league of her very own and such class. I can't take my eyes off her beautiful face. We won't see her kind again, bc she was truly a trendsetter...

[@jong0000]

Excellent....she was one of Capitol's biggest selling artists back then

[@MyMagic111]

I saw this performance on the Ed Sullivan Show back in 1969. I was not particularly enamoured with her singing, then. I was too young to appreciate her or many other singers of that day. About a week after this performance, I saw a TV special featuring legendary Greek singer, Nana Mouskouri. I was hooked. She formed the benchmark for singers for me. There were singers like Mireille Mathieu of France; Miriam Makeba of South Africa; Roger Whittaker, also of South Africa and ABBA to name a few who did appeal to me. I missed out on the magic of Sarah Vaughn, Queen, Led Zeppelin and a myriad of other great soloists and groups because of my musical infatuation with Nana, (she would not have been happy with me for being so "closed.') Thanks to KZbin, I have discovered the richness of these other artists' legacies.

[@lizmalone1499]

Fancy Nancy!

[@bennyrodriguez1244]

One of my favorite entertainers. I can listen to her and Dionne all day long.

[@xavierminchello8431]

STUNNG PHRASING! SO PERFECT! ❤❤❤

[@Seabasstien]

Nancy Wilson she's "just too good to be true" ...and I love you Nancy and "can't take my eyes off of you"

[@GeeBee909]

Her beautiful voice reminds of the best parts of the 1960's

[@blondeanmalcolm8778]

I am so blessed to have had a Mom who introduced to me to such amazing artist(s)!! Nancy Wilson was such a talented artist and classy ❤😍!! Rest in Heavenly Peace 🌹.

[@mandyno5328]

Wow And Wow And Wow 😍 Her improvitation was so RIGHT The feeling the beautiful voice

[@MichaelJohnson-wk8tk]

The song, the singer, and the performance are all timeless!

[@SpaceBearEngineer]

This is, apparently, what my grandma liked to blast on her hi-fi equipment back in the day according to my dad.

[@gregthomas355]

🙌🏾

[@terenceoctober581]

This is one of the best versions of this song. It's the mid 1960s I'm 14 yrs old living in Guyana & one afternoon about 5pm, just out the blue this song came on, on the radio. When it ended, I was mesmerized & I loved it ever since. Great seeing Miss fancy Nancy performing it, vocally powerful.

[@mikewoodman2872]

Nice! Great taste, kid.

[@Oskar-o2d]

I've been fortunate to see her LIVE in Bensalem,PA. Historical. Look it up

[@arlenecerf8833]

One my favourite vocalists of all time - Ms Nancy “Fancy” Wilson. What a treat to hear her sing this fabulous number live . I wore out her studio recording of this song quite a while ago - soul stirring performance ❤️

[@bh5606]

Great singer.

[@lonestarfriend]

What a rendition. That middle part! Wow!

[@alexforest1]

Nancy Wilson a exciting and classy singer. I saw her years ago at The Apollo Theater and her brother had recently passed and she gave and she was extraordinary that entire night.

[@saul890]

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹

[@okiepita50t-town28]

The best rendition of this song ever, IMO.

[@GarthAstrology]

My parents were die-hard Nancy Wilson fans, with a whoppng 19 LPs, including the album with this version of "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You." It's still my all-time favorite version!

[@JSanduBrus]

great voice and great feeling, today many singer sings just without emotions

[@TheShabazzProduction]

WOW!

[@krissmgvlogs]

Wow. Brilliant. Loved it.

[@indigoskybird]

This is my favorite song in the entire world. Nancy Wilson is one the best singers of all time. Her range, class, and elegance 😮‍💨. I play this song multiple times a day. I want you to know how sharp that jump is at 1:07. She said in an interview when asked about how she could have it all. Married to a handsome Presbyterian minister and had two beautiful children she had the reputation to choose her venues. She said that she surrounded herself with people that loved her and that enabled her success. She then winks at her husband in the corner and you can feel his love for her off camera. This woman was a phenomenal specimen!

[@indigoskybird]

I played this video 3 times and downloaded it while I typed this 😅

[@TheShabazzProduction]

Spectacular!

[@THRDBeats]

Love Her

[@sherirobinson6867]

Spectacular

[@jjsmith949]

Wow! What a voice. I can't take my eyes off of Nancy Wilson!! She delivers a song that grabs your heart and soul! Thank you for all the great songs you have left for us. The Best!!

[@mchilds319]

She was a beautiful lady with poise and a gifted voice and style. My parents enjoyed her music as I got older I was so amazed of her presence and 🎶 as well.. May Ms Wilson continue to RIHP

[@savannah58]

Best voice ever!

[@collegeri]

[@MsLee-dx5hp]

She was a very beautiful lady. Love her style of music. 😊

[@philippang07]

Goosebumps from the Diva....impeccable reading and phrasing of this hauntingly beautiful tune. I'm tearing. Thank you Nancy.

[@mikewoodman2872]

I have listened to this video at least 500 times by now, and I tell you, it gives me goosebumps every time. I cannot even begin to describe the absolute vocal mastery of this live performance. Quite frankly, I rate this as one of the greatest live recordings of all time. I wish I could have seen it live!

[@lorenzoperry42]

Legend classic song

[@aca3142]

Ms.Wilson ate this tf up! 🤌🏾🥹❤️

[@trumpiekeith8531]

Thank You ✨

[@blondeanmalcolm8778]

My Momma listened to Nancy Wilson and others, I fell in love with her music many years ago. (RIHP)

[@mLi75]

wow

[@Tiffb43]

You betta sang! 🔥

[@Dion-s4t]

I know we all have our opinions but the Nancry Wilson critics that always knock her singing with lots of emotion & bring dramatic, is whats sets her apart from other women performers singing standards. The critics complain loudly that sehe should sound like her recordings and be very polite and mannered. these people are very aggravating she wants to captivate you live!! If its to much for you listen to her recordings only. Shes a "Fiery" performer live shes not Shirley or Carmen she's Nancy quite being so critical most people love it

[@joannlamonica8067]

Why was she underaged?????? NEXT TO DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY SHE WAS ONE OF THE TOP 5. End of discussion!!!!!! MERRY XMAS. 12/24/2023. JO-ANN🙋‍♀️🥂🌹

[@thegiftedmarki5399]

Again we say. Nancy Wilson is American Shirley Bassey.

[@kwootamuckbear9294]

Was this live or memorex…..

[@kwootamuckbear9294]

Sniffle-sniffle 😢

[@Jezebellum-l2u]

A rare mis-step for Nancy - song and dress.

[@StephenPerry-i6i]

Her style of sangria was almost that of Jackie wilson, miss EXCITEMENT

[@StephenPerry-i6i]

Her style of sangria was almost that of Jackie wilson, miss EXCITEMENT.

[@jadezee6316]

i believe Nancy Wilson has never received her due as a singer.....though this screaming rendition is not one of her best...

[@anthonyharris9412]

Screaming 😡 dude it’s soul, what the hell, you must be white.

[@leongardner710]

Well she did it her WAY...she was in a league of her own ( others follow her)

[@direfranchement]

Love Nancy, but this arrangement is rubbish. The song loses all of its mojo.

[@Dobie_Gillis]

Just the very best!
