Juliet Prowse & Kate Smith are two more fabulous gals who should never be forgotten.

Love Miss Prowse...left us way too soon. Great talent and oh those gams!!! A friend worked backstage in a production where Miss Prowse starred..later in her career...saw her do a quick change in the wings...stripped down to nothing. He told me she was STUNNING!

When Elvis Presley worked with Juliet Prowse on "G.I. Blues" (1960), he reportedly described his leggy co-star as having "a body that could make a bishop stamp his foot through a stained-glass window." (A line he borrowed and somewhat paraphrased from Raymond Chandler.)

As a young pre-teen and then a teenager, she tore me up. God rest her beautiful soul.

Really! Wow

Always loved her! Great dancer!

Ahh those incredible gams.

I really admired her.. When is was on London in Sweet Charity. She came on television in a show called Sunday Night at the London Palladium, her dancing was superb..

Wow what an amazing dancer ...the best xo

Saw her live at the London Palladium in 1979 (with Anthony Newley) great !

Great smile, great legs and great talent...

I just saw a clip of Prowse dancing in the "Night of 100 Stars-Red Shoes" sequence I think from 1985; those kicks of hers were phenomenal.

Best pair of legs I've ever

Right around 3:15 Juliet loses her right arm strap and nearly the top on that side, but misses nary a beat. The show must go ON. One of my all-time faves.

Yes, that was her voice...pre-recorded for clarity and less breathiness during the dance performance, which is still done today in most cases. And those LEGS...my, my, my, MY!!!

Fantastic song and musical performance !

They say that New Orleans is the most dangerous place on earth.

To make it big in Vegas you had to have a singing voice and personality, like Mitzi Gaynor and Ann-Margret who were the very biggest female stars in Las Vegas,( Mitzi was so big they gave her a percentage of the casino) along with Cher who came along later. Great dancers like Cyd Charisse had there voices dubbed in films, something that was not done on stage, her career was virtually finished.

nice gams

There were 4 different songs in that dance - it started with Basin St. Blues, then Way Down Yonder In New Orleans, then That's A Plenty and also Jada. I'm 99% sure it was arranged by Hollywood clarinetist Heinie Beau who often arranged for Paul Weston, Red Nichols and movie like The Five Pennies, Gene Krupa Story, etc.

Thanks for naming all four tunes!!

Amazing legs!

Legs legs legs!

Whatta setta pins!

Way down yonder in her bush. Love the way she moves

Either there is no talent like this any more or the media bug whigs have become lazy and they don't want true talent because it cost too much!Glad I was born in the 60s I saw it all:)

GREAT DANCER AND SINGER...SAD SHE PASSED SO YOUNG...

Cutest dimples in the world when she gave you that cheeky grin.

I didn't remember that she was a singer, too, she was really good.

She sounds like an excellent Jazz singer. Did she record any albums?

Anyone notice her right shoulder strap broke?

If that's her own recorded singing voice, that's terrific. Wouldn't it be great if there was a Hollywood Palace weekly TV show now? Of course, that's impossible. There isn't enough genuine talent around now for a weekly variety show.

There is plenty of genuine talent around at the present, the difference is that the overall public taste has changed and so those sorts of talents often go uncelebrated. In the musical theatre world there are some ultra talented people but they aren’t faces or names recognised beyond and therefore aren’t going to headline a tv variety show.

American taste has gone mediocre in music and entertainment. They admire someone who can warble notes from low to high without any meaning, look for the next celebrity that's coming out of the closet, etc. Just crap.

@Imnomensa It was HER singing, dude....she could out-sing most dancers of her time....

Juliet Prowse was a year younger than Elvis.

I would love to be wrapped in those legs !

That is her singing.

I'll take the "City of New Orleans" passenger train instead the boat thank you very much.

Yes, amazing enough to endorse L'eggs pantyhose.

mmm, gimme a taste of that.

In heels too 4:37

Old enough to be Elvis's mother? What the hell??!!

Juliet is super but I'm afraid Cyd owns this franchise.

Cyd was one of the greatest dancers in hollywood history, altho like Juliet she was a wooden actress and lacked personality, Cyd's singing voice was dubbed in films and when here film career finished it virtually ended her career
