Sorry for your loss!!! I lost my grandmother a little over a year ago, and still miss hearing her play the piano and sing! This is one of my very favourite songs to sing, and this is my favourite arrangement!

+danarooneo Wow to have such a legacy must be interesting! I'm sorry for your loss. My Dad, who died two years ago, LOVED I Love Lucy and would watch it with us, and he also loved the Luci Desi Comedy hour. I don't know if we ever saw this final episode, but even still your grandfather was part of something incredible. Thank you for sharing.

VohnExel Thank you for the wonderful comment. Sadly my grand parents never told me anything about I love Lucy. But I do know that my Grandfather's song "That's All" is very famous. The famous artists that have used it include Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee, Bobby Darin, Michael Bubl'e, and more. My grandfather would be really proud of me because I am the star of a one man show of mine called "On the Spectrum a Tuneful Rally". It is a show that stands up for people with special needs. Anyway Thank you so much for the wonderful comment. :) Dane

It is a very beautiful song. You grandfather was a true romantic. Congratulations on coming from such a talented family!

danarooneo….your grandfather wrote one of the most beautiful, romantic songs of all time. It is a favorite of mine and millions of others. May God bless you and my deepest sympathies are with you in the passing of both your grandparents.

Aleta Hudson I saw an interview with Edie and she said in rehearsal after she finished the song Lucy and Ricky were in tears, she thought it was her or the song. But was told it was because they knew their marriage was coming to an end and Lucy said keep the song in the show. A hard decision I'm sure but the right one, Edie nailed it!

Hmmm, I didn't know Lucy insisted they keep it. She was giving Edie a hard time during rehearsals though, like Lucy wasn't happy with her blocking, or Edie's hairstyle and kept making her change it. but it was just because of the drama she and Desi were going through and she took it out on everybody.

she was so beautiful and so strong, it's why i've always admired her

you're right

Damn your right i almost forgot about her and desi

I loved Edie Adams as the Fairy Godmother in Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella starring Julie Andrews.

i know - Ethel was a knock out on the piano - all of these years I just thought she was goofing around when a piano was in an episode. Glad someone else listened to HER as well as Mrs. Kovacs.

Women are great.

@@freedomfyodor WHAT?! Im a man & while there are TONS of differences between men & women, a woman is not less than any man. The fastest pianist in the world up until recently & for 10 years before that was a woman, Anna Guzman.

@@freedomfyodor Ever heard of Hazel Scott? She could play two pianos at once. And a very fast pace at that. You're so damn sexist...

You had a cool mom

Noah Hughes - Thank God for our parents! My Mom exposed me to so much amazing classic TV! SO thankful.

Marry me.

Yes, I had read, too, it was a tear-filled moment. Lucy did file for divorce the next day.

So sad. They loved each other until the end.. 💔

sadly by this time the desilu marriage relationship had run its course....there is a cable network (decades) that aired a documentary on the cpl a few wks ago...it told how they were constantly arguing n decided to go on a European family vacation...by the time they returned they were not speaking n lucille filed for divorce 8 wks later....lucy remarried gary a few yrs later...gary was lucille's trophy husband..tall dark handsome n 13yrs yngr(eat ur hearts out girls) and i do believe that she grew to love him dearly....but there is a major difference btwn love vs inlove n i believe lucille was in love with desi untill the day she died..

Chase Jackson They were very much still in love with each other until the day they both died.

i wld agree 100%...there is an interview o utube done with Lucille n Gary by B.walters in 1977....this is the most candid lucille has ever spoken about desi but it was clear that she sill loved him n was resentful because desi through their love away....i have read mny stories where Desi heavy drinking and gambling were credited to the stress of running desilu while filimng i love lucy....i am sure that those were major contributors...but i am sure the demands of married life was also a major contributor..

They agreed to do I Love Lucy to keep their marriage steady but unfortunately like you said, the stresses of running a major TV studio and being on a hugely successful sitcom didn't help, plus they had 2 young children. I think he also cheated on her with a lot of women in Hollywood on top of drinking and gambling. yes Desi had a drinking problem around this time.

as the years have passed and my life experiences have allowed the way i view ppl,places,situations...i see things very differently related to lucillle and desi...all the comments i read appear to fault desi with the failure of the marriage because of his mny infidelities....everyones opinions are shaped based on what they have read...in Lucille's 1977 interview.. my take away was that lucille still loved desi deeply and resented him for throwing their love away...i also got the impression that she faulted desi with the dissolution marriage and felt her culpability has minimal if any at all...and that just plain bullshit and impossible...it takes two to tango...if any relationship fails both parties [played a role....it's not really about establishing a weighted value of culpability...80/20..50/50..70/30....because that is simply a matter of opinion not fact...s...when she met and started a relationship with desi he was a band leader that earned his primary income by touring(someone that mentally adapts to a frequent tour schedule...becomes use to not being in any one place for a lng period of time....once the tour is over and they return to thier home base...in a very short period they begin to get restless...when desi was on the road...lucille was back at home base and the entire time desi was on the road...her mind running rampant worrying about what he was doing and with whom..if his show ended at 1130pm...in her mind..it takes him x minutes to get back to his hotel...and if she called him until 4am and got no answer she auto assumed he was out sexing another women....everyone that comments about desi's drinking,gambling, constant infidelities...have made those comments based on what they have a read...no female has ever come fwd to discuss her wild nite with desi anaz....once i love became a super hit...desi wld have had curtail his infidelities because in the 50's any sex scandle wld have caused cbs to cancel i love lucy and the show was the crown jewel of desilu....if desi was out of lucille site for more than 10.5 seconds she auto assumed he was with another women....she wnted to keep him close to her so she came up with i love lucy...desi agreed bcause he really did love lucille....however, he agreed absent of realizing the outlet touring gave him and when he no lngr toured that outlet wld no longer be met....in all the stories i have read they all attributed desi's drinking & gambing to the stress of overseeing i love lucy and desiu....i now believe that to be bullshit...i will concede that they may been contributing factors...but i no longer believe they were the main factors...when lucille divorced desi shortly after..she brought him out and she took over his duties all while raising the the two kids and starring in and exec producing the lucy show....lucille cld do it but desi cld not...BULLSHIT...this was not brain surgery...the most challenging period wld have been getting the show and studio up & running...but once they were up and running...over a shrt period of time we are talking repetitive challenges that got easier day by day......desi agreed to i love lucy becuase he wanted his marriage to work...he and lucy travled to the studio together in the morning and after a 10hr day...they traveled home together in the eve...this is 5days aweek..on the wknds...lucille had an expectation that desi wld be spending his time with her and the kides...EVERYWEEKEND...that just to damn much togetherness...he wanted/needed sometime to himself.....lucille needed/wanted desi tethered to her side 24/7 n if he was out of her site more than 19.5 mins her mind wld go crazy worring about what he was doing and with whom...the drinking & gambling had little to do with the stress of the siticom & desilu and more to do with stress of the day to marriage.....no i am not psychic,desi or lucille were no friends of mine....i am not saying that ,y opinion is the gospel...my opinion is just that...my opinion...i will not cry or loose sleep because someone disagrees..

Thomas DiMaggio , more likely, a quart, as well as a soul.

Especially if you know what was happening behind the scenes

A most beautiful voice. That song was made for her.

She's better than that 😍

And in a couple of years Ernie would be gone.

After Ernie passed, Edie married 2 other times but when she passed, she was buried next to Ernie. A beautiful couple indeed and may they R.I.P.

But then she got to meet the love of her life, Gary Morton and he found happiness as well

Alicia Coburg Love her life? That was Desi; Lucy herself later said, that she should have stuck with him.

Ciaran Ryan I disagree

Alicia Coburg You disagree with Lucille Ball who said that she should have stuck it out with Desi?

Ciaran Ryan When did she say that? Because I watched an interview where she talked about how she had nothing with Desi and valued the love and respect she had with Gary

Yes! And everyone pretty much knew their marriage was over. That day of filming…it brought a lot of people on set to tears.

I remember reading this long ago as a teen and then finally seeing this episode for myself for the first time.... I cried.... I still listen to this and cry, it's my favorite love song. Edie brings this song to life, I hope I find a love like this one day, I love lucy, yesterday, today and tomorrow, I know she hated going thru the divorce but it was for the better, I understand loving someone so much but having to let them go... its one of the worst pains to go thru....

He didn't want the divorce either.She was the one who filed.

@@Anna-vl8qc He just wanted to continue playing around while married. She wasn't having any of it anymore. She had every reason to file for it.

@@Anna-vl8qc CAN YOU BLAME HER ?? It was HIS INFIDELITY that FORCED HER HAND !

Did you catch how Ernie Kovacs stared at her?

@Chadlton .. funny you mention hair .. there used to be a chain of beauty shops called “ Edie Adams Cut and Curl” .. old school grandma beauty shops.. I remember at one point they went unisex .. probably because the geriatric clientele was dying off . The first unisex shop I tried was one of these ..it hit me after I walked in they just changed the name but the decor was still the same so it was like I was in a beauty shop .. I reluctantly stayed and when my name was called an elderly old school beautician in uniform was going to be cutting my hair .. never had a beautician cut my hair before so I got a bit nervous.. she was going to wash my hair first which I never had done in a shop before so I guess this was a beauty shop process included in the price .. I was a bit antsy in the chair as she was shampooing my hair , kept telling me not to life my head , relax and keep my head all the way back. She really shampooed me thoroughly.. after that .. she cut my hair extremely well , I was very pleased .. all for 7.95 . I just wish I would of relaxed more during the shampoo and haircut..

yeah it's sad what was happening behind the scenes too, with Lucy and Desi's marriage crumbling and their constant arguing. Ball would spend a lot of time in her dressing room crying and her eyes got really red and puffy. in the episode where they go to Japan and she disguises herself as a Geisha with white makeup, and it didn't help that she had red puffy eyes from crying.

Stephen R I did notice that. And that episode was hilarious

+Dat81boi 825 Me too

First time I heard this was an edited version in the wedding singer movie...but this rendition is truly sublime😆

Yes, when I saw Ernie Kovacs in this clip, it was heartbreaking knowing what would happen in the future for Edie and Ernie.

He was driving a Corvair. "Unsafe at any speed."

You probably adored Edie, a lovely lady.

My parents were born in the 60's. Actually my mom 59 and my Dad 1960 and their birthdays are very close to each other

Manuel Orozco Ahh, that's so sweet.

Hanif Muslim Thank you. I Love Lucy was my first glimpse into the Golden Age of TV

my parents were (i wish i was too) but it makes me grateful for the one i was born

I was born in 1951, and it was the best of times in America. Sad how our country has fallen.

Well I prefer music from the 80's 90's and past decade. But I do music from the 60's once in a while.

I agree didnt like michael buble nor adam sandler

Omg its 4am and you just cracked me up lmaoo

It's used by blade runners to find androids.

It's nice to know I'm not dead!

Well, Desi cheated on her all the time. THAT's the tragedy

I Love Lucy was my first glimpse into the Golden Age of TV as a kid 15 years ago. I don't even follow reality TV although I do like America's Got Talent.

Isn't that the truth!!!

I watched a video of Judy Garland singing this song. And as much as I love Judy, I feel Edie sings it better. It perfectly fits her voice.

Viv wasn't playing. It was Desi's pianist.

@@4string59. I did not realize that. Then it must have been Marco Rizo, the pianist for the Desi Arnaz Orchestra in real life as well as on the show. But Vivian Vance does a great job pretending! They don't normally show the hands of fake piano playing.

@@carlfrano6384 I think Vivian could actually play piano, so could fake it better than many actors who had to pretend to play.

She was also excellent in a supporting role in the classic film The Apartment.
