Gisele MacKenzie sings a breath-taking version of 12th of Never. Intro by Perry Como.
Музыка
In 1960 Gisele MacKenzie was promoting her new concert album, Gisele MacKenzie in Person at the Empire Room of the Waldorf-Astoria, on Perry Como's show. Here Perry introduces Miss MacKenzie by singing a few bars of the theme from her 1958 NBC-TV series, and what follows is a breath-taking performance of a lovely folks song! With perfect pitch this classically trained, dark-eyed Canadian beauty could handle any type of muisc, along with comedy...and was among the most popular, talented and gifted of all the wonderful singers that filled our lives with fine music in the 1950's and 1960's.

Her voice was beautiful; she was beautiful; her singing was beautiful. That says it all. And then there are the so called "singers" of today ...
simply stunning! just imagine: there was a time when being a singer meant that you could actually sing!!
This was originally in Living Color but NBC reused all the video tapes and only kept b&w 16mm film prints. Thank God though this survives Gisele is such a gifted underrated singer.
A very moving rendition of this beautiful song. Great phrasing and timing. What a voice!
A great example of seem-less singing from my aunt Gisele. thanks Jim for posting~!
In addition to her beautiful voice, she had a wonderful, warm personality. She was really exceptional. Thanks for posting this.
No special effects on that voice! Marvelous. I remember "Your Hit Parade."
great melody... great song... great composition... lovely arrangement... beautiful voice... nice performance by a great singer...
Wow! Beautiful phrasing, clear voice - just like Vera Lyn
JUST OUTSTANDING amazing voice......
lovely, sweet delivery. never heard of Gisele till now.
I'm not that big of a fan of Gisele MacKenzie; but I have to say that she just hit this one out of the ballpark! Thanks for posting.
The Waldorf-Astoria album is quite something still, a very sophisticated and witty club act with lots of special material and a stunning performance of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." Which follows a very funny opening number.
A true voice, reminds me of Julie Andrews' love of the lyric, and it is a deep rich sound only Giselle could muster.
The title says it all, breath-taking. I've been a fan of Gisele MacKenzie ever since I was a little kid. Thanks for sharing :D
What a gorgeous voice and wonderful performer! Clear as a bell and communicated so much through the words. I think she gets a bit too emotional in the 2nd half after returning to the bridge (Johnny was wise to understate it), but this was truly a treat. Thanks for posting...
Oh Gisele where are you??? I would married you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
En excelent singer not very popular(1927-2003)
