White Christmas Love You Didn't Do Right By Me

My favorite music number from the 1954 classic "White Christmas"

[@bubhub64]

The sophistication and pure glamour of old Hollywood!

[@tomsaltsman]

+bubhub64 Yea, and the sheer perfection of every note, every movement, every costume, every color, every set design!

[@BattlestarDamocles]

And then looks at today's disgusting, politically driven, 'woke' Hollywood in comparison.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Makes me wish I lived in those times

[@hippiedachshunds1632]

She looked absolutely stunning in this scene. That dress is simply iconic. Edith Head certainly outdid herself here, but Rosie was the inspiration for it - her neck, shoulders and back were perfection and EH created this dress to showcase them. Stunning girl, stunning dress, stunningly beautiful voice.

[@Youngstown529]

It's good to see a chick without bacne

[@ronbowman4437]

The word "Stunning" doesn't come close to her...Wow..such an iconic dress and number... :)

[@lorenawalsh816]

Absolutely stunning. But the whole movie has amazing costumes. Chic, elegant, classy

[@operamatthew]

she looks like a dude with a wig and makeup

[@terisabrown1709]

Gorgeous dress, fantastic voice, but those gloves are terrible! They totally give her "man hands"! They look like Ov Gloves with sequins.

[@SuperWoodyboy]

Damn it doesn't get any better than this!...Rosie is absolutely gorgeous and her voice is out of this world...TOTAL CLASS!....too bad we don't have this in films and real life anymore...Treasure it folks, treasure it!

[@barryt6047]

and those back-up dancers... two thumbs up!

[@marvinking9848]

I love the note change modulation, "Oh- o- o-o love, you didn't do right by me "... perfect pitch and easily done, ONLY ROSIE !

[@marcokite]

George Chakiris is total class

[@MissLauraSquared]

Absolutely love Rosemary! One of the best songs she ever sang. What a great performance!

[@hebneh]

George Chakiris is clearly visible here at 1:27 - the problem is, he was also in the "Minstrel Number" earlier in the film. That was supposed to be in Vermont, and now here he is in New York City. When this film was newly released he was an unknown, so probably nobody at the time spotted this lapse in continuity, but it's obvious today.

[@twilightblue8566]

Rosemary was so gorgeous in that black dress with her blonde pageboy. And George Chakiris was the perfect addition as one of the backup dancers.

[@xXforgivemefatherXx]

The dresses in this movie are absolutely gorgeous! And its cast was AMAZING :)

[@ForEverGilda]

I do agree with you. It's a very good number and the best from WHITE CHRISTMAS. Rosemary Clooney is very beautiful and her voice is quite extraordinary. And George Chakiris among the dancers. Thanks for posting this.

[@russmaleartist]

I was a fan and was hooked when I heard her some 63 years ago, and I'm still a fan. This scene remains a classic, and Rosey looked stunning and was obviously in her usual good voice. Edith Head designed the dress with the big broach on her backside as sort of a joke with her sense of human, but it was a classic look for Rosey. She could sing the ballads with the best of them; in fact, she was compared to Sinatra with her phrasing. She was and will remain one of the best.

[@manuelorozco7760]

The first time I saw this, I almost didn’t recognize George Chakiris as one of the back up dancers! Boy he was so young when he did White Christmas and West Side Story

[@nmuphelps1]

A classic. Pure class at the top of its form.

[@MonsoonWinds6]

Best movie ever. Best dress ever. I absolutely love her and her voice. Just an amazing movie!

[@lilsuzq32]

The music of the 50's was to DIE for ... emotion, expression and everything that is missing in 2012.

[@peterraymond8470]

George Chakiris [ best known as Bernado in the original West Side Story movie ] was barely 20-years-old here.

[@vistaestrada]

Rosie, you left movies much too soon. Thanks for the memories and a knockout musical performance in "White Christmas".

[@jackanthony976]

Rosie did not leave movies on her own. She was on a short term contract with Paramount and they decided not to renew. The executives felt that she was too masculine and that her success in White Christmas was a fluke as big budget musicals were on the decline by 1954.

[@noelmaldonado7829]

@@jackanthony976 that's horrible if you ask me they lost one of their biggest stars

[@robinburke3323]

George Chakiris said that Rosemary got so frustrated wearing those gloves because they kept snagging on everything.

[@trenaesumter2902]

Love this song!! Ive always wondered how she had to be careful not to snag the dress with those gloves!

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

She was just made to sing this song. It’s absolutely stunning and perfect for her voice. And her outfit in this scene…my gosh gorgeous and glamorous

[@blubberyblobfish6945]

I wish more people made videos about her

[@sjallmyfandoms9044]

How have I never noticed those earrings before now?! Mesmerized by the dress my whole life it seems.

[@MonsoonWinds6]

@AmethystIsMyPoison YES!!!! The food, the unity of everyone for a month or so, the gifts, laughter, christmas parties, singing christmas songs, EVERYTHING!!!!

[@nancypo1]

Great! And a young George Chakiris as a dancer, way before West Side Story...

[@zulu32656]

Shes one of my top all time singers. Incredible and her voice is in my range so I can sing her songs which makes me happy. :)

[@TralfazConstruction]

The image of Rosemary standing arrow-straight in that gown, before slightly softening her posture, has been an enduring one since first seeing "White Christmas" at a Christmas time limited re-release. I was eight-years old then in '64. The experience was akin to imprinting on a hatchling. Her voice draws a certain pathos from inside her character's thwarted ambitions, stopping the show. That I can recall the experience, with crystal clarity, nearly 50 years after the fact, is comforting to me.

[@lionsbite5728]

Mys favourite number too. Stunning visually, but what a voice!

[@sallyjohnson8724]

In agreement. Such vocal grace,elegance, and interpretation. A beautiful lady all around.

[@AlysonBate]

Perfect broken heart song

[@ElizECraig]

That dress. Wow. She is so gorgeous.

[@JAfan3993]

In my music class in middle school, one of our assignments was to state our favorite Irving Berlin song and say why it was our favorite and I said this song. This isn't my favorite Irving Berlin song anymore, but it's still one of my favorites.

[@GreenJeansCO]

Ya'll, that was done in one take.

[@pdxritchie1]

This should be my theme song.

[@xXforgivemefatherXx]

The dresses they wear in that movie are absolutely gorgeous! It also had the best cast too. :)

[@SopranoOfTheNight]

Bernardo from West Side Story is among the dancers!

[@Tiggzg]

Great addiont to youbue, Rosemary was an amazing actress with that wonderful voice of hers. I had a huge crush on her after this movie. Christmas wouldn't be smart with out sitting in front of the fire.

[@KIZERVONZINGER]

Love that dress!

[@beatlesfreak89]

My favorite song from the film. Amazing!

[@LM1viola]

THAT DRESS. THAT VOICE.

[@windstorm1000]

great number--a total classic all the way round.

[@LouAlexanderinSanJose]

Rosemay Clooney singing "Love, You Didn't Do Right by Me" in "White Christmas" is my favorite scene. She was at her peak and the scene is magnificently staged. She and the male dancer make a kaleidoscope of hour glass figures in silhouette with their bodies and moves.

[@thevampirefrog06]

Oh hey Bernardo how are you?

[@victoriaodegaard1]

lol i just realized that George Chakris from West Side Story was a dancer in this number lol 1:26

[@donmikolo]

@@victoriaodegaard1 He also extras in Marilyn Monroe's Diamonds

[@thefaceofthecentury]

Exquisite.....many thanks...

[@sutro77]

the incomperable Rosemary Clooney - she was a class act!

[@tommyrall3]

My favorite musical number after the memorable dance duet by Danny Kaye and Vera-Ellen 🎺

[@kl99654]

Just watched it Love it

[@MuzzyVanH]

George Chakiris is also seen in the 'Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend' number, ( w/ Marilyn Monroe, from 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes', 1953 ), He's part of the dark, dashing, dance ensemble, though there is silver applied to temples of his hair, most likely to have him appear more mature than he was at time of filming.

[@Rossbach2]

@SopranoOfTheNight - Yes, this was 20-year-old George Chakiris in the 1954 film, White Christmas. He appeared as Bernardo, leader of the Sharks, in the 1961 film rendition of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story.

[@countrygirl41296]

Love Rosemary. Love the movie. Love the song. LOVE the dress! :) basically I love this :)

[@MrEWight2152]

She is so ELEGANT!!!!

[@57aleo]

fell in love with her when i saw her sing this many years ago

[@Gaeill]

She could sing this song without accompaniment. Her pitch and sense of rhythm are born in her. There's segments of her old TV shows stuff she sings, that sound better and explore her range a bit. more.than any of her "hits" ever did. Something flowing out of her can hold people in a certain way. Calm and clear. Her acting with Crosby is natural and affectionate. This is fun watching these clips and wondering why they are so lasting. Good writing and good performers. Thank you

[@90geekgirl06]

This song is the story of my life right now...

[@caseyisms]

Loooooove this song!

[@HarkVlogs]

1:25 Bernardo from West Side Story!!!!!!!!

[@TheStepkick1]

Yes, George Chakiris!!!

[@elisabethdillon8931]

Not only one great voice but that woman could fill out a dress like a goddess. In this video you can see why Bing Crosby had a thing for her.

[@justasmltwngir1732]

bill crosby had a thing for everyone

[@Dizzy2381]

BERNADRO from West Side Story is one of the Dancers!!! AWESOME!

[@LisaGregor]

So, so, so love!!!!

[@ember514]

This song isn't long enough. I request we go back in time and add more verses.

[@MscBlggr]

You can see the Clooneys are just born cool.

[@yotess11]

Rosemary surely did ROCK the mermaid dress.

[@BartimaeusTrilogyFan]

Thanks for adding this, I'm so happy! The old video was removed last year, and I was so sad. Thanks so much! :3

[@sxystar41]

@setfree23 That dress is priceless !! LOL.... it's absolutely stunning !!

[@twist3535]

Yes, that is George Chikiris!

[@arikazan3077]

HOT STUFF

[@judicorvette9457]

I always felt she would have been great on Broadway

[@EricaRosemary]

she is beautiful!

[@olgica13]

i don't know why i'm finding this so cute!

[@ajgroelant]

she is amazing here

[@shamanqueen92]

I want that dress!!!

[@ajgroelant]

wow so good Rosemary at the top of her game

[@Youngstown529]

It's a wonderful number honey... besides... you don't get a say in this. We're men, and this club is for us.

[@thomasmulroney9926]

How about we hired you for this song and have paid 4 dancers too.

[@Caerigna]

agreed my fav as well! ^^

[@RandolfPatton]

Edith Head nails it once again....in concert with the song,staging and the very sultry voice of the very sexy Ms.Clooney this number effortlessly captures the essence of the Golden Age Hollywood glamour ethos. Dress hot. Song hot. Singer even hotter. Today's Hollywood should just put a bullet in it's own brain.

[@sxystar41]

Thumbs up if you want that gorgeous black mermaid gown !!

[@PuccallpaGirl]

@Vmike88 You are absolutely right. George Chakiris was one of the backup dancers.

[@MonsoonWinds6]

@AmethystIsMyPoison Me too! I'm sooooo excited for Christmas this year!!!

[@oohyllab]

Some singers lose their great voice as they age. She didn't!!

[@fever_spike]

The amazing Dick Stabile leadin' the band!

[@jjakiefte2165]

He is. And I'm guessing that the flowery alto sax obbligato is by him.

[@storybellz]

Rosemary Clooney = Most beautiful woman of the 1950s decade!

[@stylishsid]

Is the guy at 1:24 Bernado from West Side Story??

[@actorjake92]

Yeah!

[@allysonkipp5714]

I usually hate the mermaid dress, plus I call it a fish-tale dress, but she really looked good in it.

[@johnerdmann2700]

My late wife Marilyn Sotto designed this gown for her-timeless!

[@Thundernerd2aBird]

1:26 a very young Bernado :) still hot now of course

[@LiaSunshine67]

Classic

[@iluvjoyful]

this song is what im singing right now :/

[@Softlyliving]

@thenameisserria He is a backup dancer in all of the damces in White Christmas

[@ebonywahine]

@JayDMacG3 Hi yes this was the small role that gave him a larger career, according to Clooney after the film was released the studio got inundated with mail from women asking who is that guy in this scene? And the letters were clear about which young man! He is gorgeous in this little scene, eh?

[@edwardjames50]

@issyvoo2 ~ No. George is her nephew. Long before HIM there was HER.

[@thomasmulroney9926]

Stunning indeed but I still wonder how she walked down steps in that dress, wearing high heels and did not fall

[@Vmike88]

I swear to God that's Bernardo from West Side Story at 1:30

[@beefire05]

I love this song. By the way....Bernardo at 1:29 :)

[@CharlotteIssyvoo]

@edwardjames50 Yes indeed! You are right.

[@edwardjames50]

@MsMarylou55 ~ Yes, the sound on this clip is WAY too low. Luckily, there's another post of it on YT, so go there to hear it.

[@firesong83]

She didn't sing a song, she caressed it.

[@twilightblue8566]

She had a very unique voice. When you hear one of Rosemary's songs, you know right away who it is.

[@catsclearing]

Wish I could find a pattern for this dress.

[@JanetteHeffernan]

Isn't that the chap from West Side Story?
