pass this inspirational performance on, we need this now more than ever!!
Welcome! These musical clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital. There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy. Please hit the like button if you can.

As an ordinary Australian, a heterosexual baby boomer, this man means more to me than you could ever imagine. Thank you Peter for your talent and torment. Time IS a traveller, hugs mate.

As an Englishman born after Peter died, he means a lot to me as well.

I am totally over the moon watch and listening to this. Of course, knowing Peter Allen's story only magnifies how poignant this song is, and this performance you really feel his raw emotion. Peter was an incredible talent, the likes we usually only see once in a generation. Of course, he traqically died way too young, but his legacy will live on forever. Oh how I would have loved to have known him personally.

I spent some time with Peter when he was separating from Liza, 1974 or 5. We had several conversations over Piper at Reno Sweeneys while he was performing there. I will always treasure the experience. Randall

@@randallho1 I have just come across Peter on Sunday night, and his spirit went down in me.. I am a songwriter, taking the long road to get my songs out there, and his spirit is lifting me now as I write... I sing acapella but got musicians for my album.. it is a long story but I got two world class jazz composers on my album ... love & blessings to you Randall... Annie

Peter Allen wrote this specifically for Ann-Margret who was his best friend.

Who was Ann-Margret? Was she a singer and what is the connection between the words of the song and her and Peter Allen?

@@artistjoh Ann-Margret was a singer and dancer, but a much better actress. She did a lot of live performance - but it was bad Vegas kind of singing. Search KZfaq for Ann-Margret sings Bye Bye Birdie on Ed Sullivan and be prepared to......have some kind of reaction, ha.

Oh, I love this song. Sinatra would have OWNED this song, it's totally his late career vibe. And I can *hear* him singing it. The range and arrangement was beyond what he could deliver by the time it was written. He did sing other Peter Allen songs. Patti Labelle sang this on Carson too. For her - a beautiful and somewhat controlled performance. She really knew how to rework a ballad and imbue it with soul and drama. Peter Allen performed this song for his partner when he was sick, and in his memory after he died in 1984. I had no idea Peter had that kind of emotive voice and such an expansive range and dynamics. It's a beautiful performance here. He's inspired, for sure. Vulnerable AND a showman.

Jeopardy should have definitely played Peter Allen's version of this song. What in the world were they thinking!? Hugh Jackman, nor anyone else for that matter, can hold a candle to the one and only Peter Allen. There can be no imitators.
