Many of you (possibly all of you ) will not have heard of the Nicholas Brothers. Fred Astaire said that they were the best tap dancers ever.

Here's a clip of them with Cab Callaway and his band. Cab does his famous scat singing first and then Fayard and Harold Nicholas come in. Fayard was still performing in his late eighties!

Good evening I have just watched "Songs of Praise"from the Albert Hall,and the Hymn performed by "ANDREA BEGLEY" was terrific ,it touched woos heart, an incredible voice and courage as she has only 10% sight,bless her,an example for us all,I think

 

Nora Jones does a very creditable version of the Kris Christofferson song.

 

This first song is especially for Woo as it's his anniversary

Jane Morgan recorded this in 1959



This song of hers made it to No.1 in 1958 but this is a live performance she did with Louis Armstrong (sorry about the poor quality of the video)


In 1968, in one of her TV Specials, she did this tribute to her friend Edith Piaf . If you think her French sounds very good it's because she lived, and performed, there for many years.


When Johnny Cash made his big hit "A Boy Named Sue" Jane made a record, in 1970, called "A Girl Named Johnny Cash"
She did pretty well with it and then she appeared on TV with Johnny making fun of it.


She's still going strong at the age of 90

 

Three different types of songs
