Jule Styne is so great Broadway owes a lot to him.

Julie was the Greatest. A True Gentleman in person. RIP

Merv- he made you feel like a neighbor, a confidant and mensch. He was enamoured by talent and guests just felt confident in his company. I waited every day after high school to watch his shows.

WOW! What a great show... Unbelievable talent on this entire show... thanks so much for posting!!! Sadly, everyone on the show has passed on.

Love Miss Merman!

Jule Styne, great composer Broadway!

Sammy Davis was a fantastic entertainer.

1hour of top-notch entertainment!. Those TV shows, like Merv Griffin were more sophisticated when the show was made in NYC

Betty Comden is such a treasure. Elegant but relatable. Regal but down-to-earth. Brilliant but still humble.

WOW!!!! What a blast from the past. I adored this from beginning to end. why can’t this be what daytime TV is now?!?!

His name had always been familiar to me but when I read down a list of the notable songs he had written the cliche that my jaw dropped to the floor certainly applies. "The Christmas Waltz" and "Small World" are two of my favorites. The fact that his Broadway career wound up with three flops including "The Red Shoes" which opened and closed the year before he died and lost a reported eight million is so sad and yet I get the impression he just was not the retiring type. He simply did what he was born to do.

Brilliant...... I'm talking about Sammy Davis's 6 Rings

I actually bought Merm's lp of disco. Was a trip. Saw her at the Hollywood Bowl performance. Miss that era.

Merman will always be the Gold Standard for all Broadway musical performers.

Love It. Dem days ain't never comin' back. Come to think of It. Neither am I.

Wow, I didn’t realize Merv could sing! Beautiful show!

I just love Jule Styne.

Great show!

At the beginning of the movie Gypsy (1962) the great Jule Styne is shown conducting the orchestra playing the overture.

Ethel is great here! Thanks for sharing yet another gem!

What an amazing talent.

I know all his songs but never heard of Jules. I need too look into his catalog. His songs are what we call standards.gold standards...

TALENT!!!!!! BRILLIANCE!!!!!!!

Can't believe they didn't start the show with Ethel!

They did not acknowledge that Stephen Sondheim wrote the lyrics to "Some People."

They cut out the interview with Davis and Merman. Shucks.

Funny, you're a stranger who's come here, Come from another town. Funny, I'm a stranger myself here. Small world, isn't it? Funny, you're a man who goes traveling Rather than settling down. Funny, 'cause I'd love to go traveling. Small world, isn't it? We have so much in common, It's a phenomenon. We could pool our resources By joining forces from now on. Lucky, you're a man who likes children. That's an important sign. Lucky, I'm a woman with children. Small world, isn't it? Funny, isn't it small and funny and fine? We have so much in common, It's a phenomenon. We could pool our resources By joining forces from now on.

Adolph Green's tan looks kinda scary.... Otherwise, this was amazing. Merman's voice is just astounding!

Isn't her best performance?

I like P. Newman, but that show sucked big time. Watching her do a number from it was a fine example of that.

YIKES! They are ALL dead now!
