Fantastic concert!

ROSEMARY CLOONEY, A PEARL OF PERFECTION! A HAUNTING VOICE THAT LINGERS LONG AFTER SHE STOPS SINGING. YOU NEVER WANT HER TO GO AWAY. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS LOVELY SONGSTRESS!

Music which lives forever in the hearts and minds of music lovers...Hey that's me!!

It's adorable how much John Williams is enjoying himself conducting those old jazz numbers.

These songs are in Ms. Rosie's bones. She rarely (if ever) looked at the video monitors for the lyrics 🥰 You can see she soaks up everything involved with making that eye contact w/ her audience 😭 a true musician and interpreter 🥰Her and Linda together have always been one of the most exciting singing pairs and friendships in the music industry.

Rose Mary and Linda on the venue!!! Man o' man...two of the greats..

Ms. Rosemary is s incredible too... she sang so modestly ... bravo... my heart is with you...

concert from heaven; John Williams tremendous, Rosemary wonderful & Linda incredible. Such beauty, grace and class by all. Plus Linda has such stunning beauty !

What a concert... Ms. Linda's skill of singing is versatile and unlimited... her eyes kept singing with her soul and songs... GOD loves you ever....

Do a deep dive into Linda Ronstadt's career and one will be hard pressed to find as versatile a career as hers. Without Ronstadt, I likely wouldn't have an appreciation for a variety of musical genres.

Nelson Riddle would have been very pleased with the way Rosemary, Linda and the orchestra performed on this special

Two of the best of our generation, such a wonderful concert!

I did not watch the Grammys. In fact I have not watched that show for several years. Why? Because nothing today can compare with this classic 20th century American repertoire. Linda, Rosemary and John Williams = American treasures. Now the big question: Why isn't this available as a DVD? WNET, wake up!

Incredible show conducted by the Musical Master of our lifetime and featuring the iconic voices we grew up and we grew older with !

Linda played a significant role in getting Rosemary back into singing. She had always been a huge fan of Clooney's singing and kept reaching out to do record the Girl Singer CD, which Ronstadt drew a sketch of Rosemary and also wrote the liner notes. Both adored Nelson Riddle as well.

All the musicians, conductor, singers, incomparable! Simply beautiful.

Perfection...what a concert, a privilege to experience: Rosemary Clooney, Linda Ronstadt, John William's, Boston Pop musicians, our greatest songwriters. Wow! Thank you so much for posting. Gotta save this one.

Wow! There was something more in Linda Ronstadt's performance of these songs, that make them warmer and richer than those on the Nelson Riddle albums. John Williams and the musicians perhaps helped, but I credit the warmth and richness of Rosemary Clooney and her phrasing that lets that richness linger. While, Linda may have been adapting in ways to aid the collaboration, she defenitely learned to sing those songs better than she had before, which caused me to go "wow". I am so glad she sang my favorite, "Skylark"!

That's not surprising. This is ten years after Linda did the first album of standards with Nelson Riddle--so she was much more comfortable with the songs. But I saw Linda and Riddle in 1983 at Radio City Music Hall and she was already more at ease with the songs. She could really swing with the best of them on Keeping Out of Mischief, which never appeared on any of the three albums with Riddle, and her "Ghost of a Chance" was a hauntingly beautiful moment in that concert.

You're most welcome, Michelle. It is a wonderful show.

They became very special friends. Remarkable songbirds, different eras but they sang like they meant it. Linda said they belonged to " Girl Singers Anonymous" - they knew the music, they knew the road and they knew the men.

I didn't know Ray Bradbury wrote a musical. Wow. With Jim Web no less. Thank you for sharing this. Wonderful. 🖖🙂💕

This would have been a dream concert.

What a treat! I love this concert! The song section...wow! I've been a Ronstadt fan for years and she certainly sounds wonderful here and Rosemary Clooney's song selection is top notch. Both did great!

By myself was fantastic, rosie sounded just like when she recorded it in 1960

Watched the entire concert and I really want to thank you for taking the time to make this video! I have only seen 2 songs from this concert and the quality of 1 was bad. Love the sound and great video quality! 10 yrs after the Riddle era of Linda Ronstadt's career and she still soars to heights that make the hair stand up on the back of my neck! Thanks a million from a Linda Ronstadt fan!

Rosie always had great hair, no matter how she had it styled and she was certainly the best lady singer in the business. 💕

From Evening at Pops Season 23 (1993).🙂

What professionals! Linda and Rosemary sing so effortlessly and the Pops didn't miss a beat. I agree with a previous comment that Linda hit these songs out of the ballpark. Much closer to the way this music should be sung although I enjoyed her recordings with Mr Riddle. Rosie is a singers singer and no doubt rubbed off on everyone "This Evening At The Pops"

I was not aware of this program ever being broadcast and viewed it for the first time today. Could it have been better? Yes, ideally Linda would not have to share the stage with anyone. I would have preferred that the entire performance was Linda, solo. Quite gracious of her to share the stage with her friend.

I captured this on VHS back in '93. I was impressed with both performances and the meld of the two. Not sure how producers arranged for the two to perform together. My understanding Rosemary and Linda had been good friends. Ed Z.

41:38 😂 Linda.....Great concert!

Anymore please of the evening at pops

Orchestra's performance of "Frenesi" can't compete with the orchestral arrangement accompanying Linda Ronstadt's vocal of this song. It is even lacking when compared to the recording by Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan. But that's symphony guys for you.

Lush Life sounds exactly like it does on the album

I feel cheated! I wanted a couple of more songs from the ladies. Linda could have sung “frenesi “.

Linda was the better singer but Rosie sure had better stage presence and charisma. Not even close.

Peter Farrar:- John Williams Boston Pop orchestra featuring Rosemary Clooney & Linda Ronstadt 1993 orchestra concert. Now its 2024, & the simple arthmetic, & the result , 31 years ago, & the significance of that, Rosemary Clooney & Linda Ronstadt are grossly overweight(specially Rosie) & beyound their peak of at least two decades ago at that date, & age progression are the dominant factor. This is embrassing viewing on KZread today. Please retire gracefully. Words of justified criticism by Peter E. Farrar.
