Today's singers (with rare exception) can't compare to the people of my era. The people on that stage didn't need alot of fancy props or dancers. The ONLY thing they needed was a 🎤 microphone. Incredible talent, like beauty doesn't need alot. Their talent & looks speak for themselves. Heaven must be swinging. May they ALL rest in peace.

This will never happen again and I’m 66 years old. This is talent at its best.

Joe and Jack, Frank, Ella, Tony, Steve and Edie. Best singers of their generation on one stage. Billion dollars worth of talent.

OMG what a clip. THIS is America at its finest!

Sadly You’ll never see talent like this again all on one stage together just enjoying each other and their craft no matter what race, color or creed.

The old school had so much class and respect for the game and we tried to continue that tradition but failed gracefully.

Ding it now, Joe Williams!!!

On March 19,1984 my wife and I saw the Count Basie Band play at the Hollywood Palladium, it was his last public performance before He died. Dennis Rowland started to sing Everyday ( I got the blues). In about four bars into his singing Joe Williams came from backstage and surprised the count and started to sing the rest of the song. It was Joe Williams last tribute to the late great Count Basie.

Great story!

Man that's just way too much fun. First, Joe swings it with the orchestra. And then wonderful mayhem. All of that Hollywood royalty on that stage just livin' it up. Gotta love it. Sure must've been a blast to be in that room that night.

Now that's what I call a show...Look at Sinatra...he's in his element, he looks so happy here x

This song still hits hard in 2022

Seeing this artist do his thing is a blessing. Chills with or without a large band.

You can tell Frank just loved this.

What a great video...all star audience, Henry Mancini directing the orchestra and, most of all, the great Joe Williams still in great form at his age at the time. Doesn't get any better than that.

Haha. Seeing Frank Sinatra clapping off beat was priceless. Love Joe Williams. Especially his gospel must

I love Joe Williams he was like my uncle in my head. And to see all these actors...singers...comedians...etc. of my youth. ..just Wow!!!

Was that Mancini? Wow channeling the Count...,and all those Kansas City years ago.... this is a time capsule for the ages.....,true history!

Wish I was there!!!

Joe Williams!

What else can I say but... "The great Joe Williams." What a voice! Sinatra had to stand up.

That voice!

Joe absolutely stole the show with this performance

I would have loved to be in that crowd.....

Only version of Joe singing "alright okay" where he does an extra chorus of "alright okay" before ending the song. And boy, that extra chorus really swings. They all dig in, band, Joe and the crowd.

Frank Sinatra, knew who to go to for a night of swinging music!

Sing it now Joe Williams.

Great big band sound. A great singer . Once associated with the Basie band.

The wonderful Joe Williams - was my neighbor - yep! And a friend of my husband now X - also a Vocal Artist Great man - and he had a Great Wife - Miss him - and Sinatra

I so wanna be at this party..

same stage- Ella - Edie- Tony B - Frank, Steve Lawrence, Peggy Lee, Big Joe..........thats crazy

Ok I have to share, I met joe at a thanksgiving dinner in vegas ,the people there were very humble not wealthy at all we didnt even sit at a table to eat but on tv trays . I didnt even know who he was I spent the night talking with him and his sweet little wife . The people who gave the dinner said joe invited us all to a show ,I was blown away ,I had no idea he was well known and now I find this ! What a wonderful man .

Outstanding !!!

Diction people and you understand every WORD n he's singing the blues

OK, when you win, baby me and you. Anything you say, I'll do!

This was a great show saluting FS. Lots of great performers old and new saluting Frank. The Basie inspired band is the Juggernaut that was co led by Frankie Capp-who is playing drums and the late Nat Pierce. Frank's longtime drummer Irv Cottler died in 1991 and they had Frankie Capp playing the drums for a few shows. Hmmmm pretty positive that isn't Dick Scherer on trombone. Bill Watrous is playing lead and did a nice take on a few Tommy Dorsey chorus'.

Great song. Your Daddy was groovy!

Only time I've seen a band led by Henry Mancini swing! Must have been a couple of Basie guys on the bandstand. Great performance. Only Jack Jones, good singer, contributed from what I could hear. Sinatra loved it. Saw Tony Bennett around too and dear Ella. I've always thought that Joe Williams was one of the great, underrated, 20th Century singers. Saw him live more than a few times in my college days in the '70s and my later youth in the '80s. Hell of a singer. God rest his soul.

lol - yep, 1 or 2 Basie guys

I see the late Dick Shearer (Kenton's lead trombone during the last decade of the Kenton band) in the first trombone chair, and the great jazz trombonist Bill Watrous, sitting second chair. The producer should have had Bill Watrous cut loose with a few choruses of that tune. That would have enhanced the event considerably!

How can they not move to Joe's All right...?

A Standard Commenter That hell of a voice belongs to the great Jack Jones. Sinatra was a big fan of his and publicly praised him and the potential he had to go on and become something quite special. Jones sang many great songs throughout his career (still does) but one of his more popular songs is the theme song from “The Love Boat.”

Are they all seriously clapping on the 1 & 3 at the end there? Even Frank!? Even Ella!?!? It must be the editing -- although it seems to be in time with Joe's mouth.
