An amazing talent

[@square-on-wheels]

During his live shows, he would invite audience members to keep up with his rapid patter in call-and-response style. Glad we have his films and recordings!

I love danny kaye

[@square-on-wheels]

Fabulous verbal and physical comedian with great dramatic range to boot! 🎭 (ETA I forgot to add Humanitarian!)

[@elkinsinboxinc]

Danny Kaye. The original Rap God.

[@square-on-wheels]

He's certainly having fun with this one! Here's another you may enjoy: kzbin.infoUN3xooN3eIA?feature=share

Kaye was great. Loved his movies.

[@square-on-wheels]

Such an outstanding triple threat in musical comedy, yet capable of great dramatic work as well.

[@KeithCooper-Albuquerque]

I had never heard this recording! I love Danny Kaye to this day, what a talent!

[@square-on-wheels]

It's a cheerful little earful!

[@LB-px9td]

He was amazing. He could say all these tongue twisters with such speed. I enjoyed all his movies. He was a comedic genius.

[@square-on-wheels]

Danny Kaye is the best! Triple threat and them some!

[@Jovocale]

Danny Kaye - must-have in any music/dvd collection…

[@square-on-wheels]

Absolutely!

This one won my heart when I was little. Later I moved to Seattle and found out he owned the best radio station in the US.

[@square-on-wheels]

I didn't know about the radio station. How interesting!

growing up my father had a record (it was red instead of the black) The 4 of us would sit down after our baths and listen the stories of the Russia old county. One was stone soup. He came from the same part of the "old country" as my grandfather. I have always loved himz

[@rajo741]

I remember…I had the same Stone Soup record. Wonderful

[@Connorconnor24]

i grew up watching his movies with my grandparents !

[@square-on-wheels]

They used to be shown regularly on TV, say on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Now, you'd really have to search for 'em. "The Kid from Brooklyn" and "The Inspector General" still crack me up!

[@marquonuk]

Most people probably only know Danny from White Christmas these days. It's a shame because he made a lot of really good films, most of which stand up to rewatching. The viewing trio I try to watch every year is Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Wonder Man and Court Jester. A superb performer. Funny, charismatic, dexterous, with great musicality and dance talent. :-)

Thank you for uploading. My grandmother bought me up on Danny Kaye, and these days I can’t barely find a thing connected to him like this. Please keep going 🙏🏻

[@square-on-wheels]

You are most welcome! Danny Kaye was a born entertainer, and it's clear his output is timeless. Definitely spans the generations!

[@billm.8220]

Danny Kaye was a master of his craft. They don’t make them like that anymore. A true ICON.

[@square-on-wheels]

For sure! Triple threat and a humanitarian to boot!

[@KhaziirEverflight]

Just heard this song on the Diamond City Radio in Fallout 4 (from a mod, sadly not from the OST). absolutely love it.

[@square-on-wheels]

😀

[@robertbrawley5048]

Wow a record player what antique store did you find that at ?

[@square-on-wheels]

$24.99 at Goodwill. It was a gamble, and the output is a little wonky on one side, but Stereophonic Sound is overrated. 🙃
