Recorded on February 19, 1973. Merman and Cavett sing the Irving Berlin song that Ethel first sang in Broadway's "Call Me Madam" 23 years earlier.

Absolutely great. If you don't know about the legendary Ethel Merman, you really need to. Before stage actors were wired for sound, Ethel had one of the very few singing voices that could be heard effortlessly in the last row of the SECOND balcony! She starred in many Broadway musicals and several movies as well.

They used to say she had a voice for the heavens (ie. the cheapest seats way up in the second balcony.

Adorable. Ethel beats the rhythm of the cross singing on his back and carefully matches him! Not bad!

I love how Ethel knew how to play off dick cavett’s nervousness and really could make a performance entertaining! Even the way she taps on his shoulder to give him the downbeat is just wonderful

at this point - great vocal longevity and energy - plus I think she looked better than when young - (her disco lp is over at the "archive")

That's a tough song to sing, especial with someone who's voice is as strong as Merman's.

Ethel has a strong voice? I never noticed.

Ethel ruined the song with her usual nasal yeow, ngeow, yeoow singing, she's also ahead of tempo/rythm at times.so annoying!
