Chevalier aged like a very fine Port Wine. Becoming better over time. While his voice might be changing, his charm and musicality improved as years went by. Thank you for this great video.

PRIVILEGED TO SEE HIM IN LONDON

[@vickifriend9285]

Oh my goodness. Who else could have sung to The Queen Mother with such love and devotion on his face. It reminds me of my age, it also reminds me that The Royal Variety Now, and I’ve watched a little tonight 2021, Will never capture the moments of the stars of yesteryear. Why? Because there simply aren’t any anymore

Wonderful memories of a wonderful time in our history. A stage wonderer

They will not pass this way again. Today's actors are merely shadows. They could not hold a candle to the great stars of yesteryear.

How times have changed! I can remember the furore in the British press when this aired on TV, attacking Chevalier for breaking protocol and addressing HM the Queen Mother from the stage! Today, the British Royal family are constantly attacked by the British press! Delghted to see this rare clip which I have not seen since 1961. I hope the rest of the show survives - it was a great event. Thank you.

Mr. Chevalier makes the waterworks start, because of his tremendous craftmanship.

[@larrydevore6657]

Truly a very special gentleman. He's the type they we could use more of. Does bring a tear to ones eye.

One of the best ever

The bit about singing for Prince Charles was both timely and charming!

[@Ryan-on5on]

Indeed. Too bad his wish of singing for Prince Charle's descendants went unfulfilled):

[@nilasanders2044]

Was there ever anyone who had a more charming accent?

The greatest French ambassador in history. Dans la vie faut pas s'en faire.
