God's jazz blessing . Now who says God doesn't know jazz and blues. If anyone thinks God doesn't know music well...... Then God help you. Lambert hendricks Ross and Joe Williams. Thank you God for creating them.

No one who has lived through the '50s and be aware of the pressures placed on media to reject even the slightest recognition of Black people on television can fail to recognize the significance of a Annie Ross, a White woman, welcoming Joe to their already integrated vocal group. Bravo to Annie, to Hugh Heffner, who produced it all -- to the musicians, it was all very natural. If you hadn't lived through these terrible times, you had no idea of the nastiness of the views and actions of those who lived in the segregationist world in those days. Aside from all that, this is wonderful music, and thankfully, I got to hear all of these wonderful artists in their prime.

Thank you for making that important point ☝️. And not on a performance stage but in a personal "living room" setting.

I grew up on this music. My parents had the album, Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. in the early 60s I think. I can still remember this song right now. And I love Joe Williams too! what can I do!

Now that's how you sing for real🎶🎶🎶

RIP Annie Ross.

Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, plus Joe Williams. Dayam!!!

This was my song, when I was a child.

i love the internet for cool stuff like this when do you hear anything good like this on the radio or telvision

the great Joe Williams and LH&R .......the best.

My god!!! How could you ask for more? Dave, Annie, John and Joe. The apex of talent and cool. The drummer said more with one cymbal a hihat and a basic drum set then drummers do today with 15000 worth of drums.I was blessed to have seen Joe Williams at the Blue Note in NYC in 71 he had nat and cannon ball atterly as his horns Ron McCurdy on drums and I think carol Kaye on bass can't remember the other guys. Joe was a god givin sweetheart to everyone. Rip joe

RIP Annie Ross. Thanks for leaving your excellence for us to hear.

This must be what Heaven is like.

A lot of these new artists need schooling with vocals like these. LEGENDS

Knowing the Basie arrangement make this even more AMAZING! You can't help but swing, baby!

Dave Lambert: vocal arrangement Jon Hendricks: lyric Annie Ross: awesomeness Joe Williams: blue’s awesomeness All four: art

Priceless jazz vocal history.

Every day I have the Blues. Now we Count Basie on the program now.

4 legendary masters at work!! Just that simple!! 💯🙏🏽

I don't know how she pulls off just hitting that one note, but she does it. Miss Annie Ross. What a night that must have been. Thank God they recorded it and thanks to KZread, we get to see it. hanks for posting.

Tony Bennett just chilling smoking a rette and drinking. Sitting on that table swinging to Joe Williams. Great party to be at.

Joe Williams performed “ Everyday” so effortlessly, a song perfectly written for his magnificent voice.

Her voice is literally an instrument...beautiful vocal interplay

Man I wish there were more of this music being done today. Nothing better in my opinion!

This is absolutely miraculous!

How totally awesome - the epitome of 50's swing and cool.

Hi Guy; Kurt Elling did a similar show here in Portland, OR last year w/ Hendrick's daughters & Kevin Burke (who I saw w/ JH back in the 70s). Nancy King joined them for a couple songs. The Portland State University jazz choir joined for the finale... a great, great tribute.

This is the greatest Jazz vocal ever, period. Joe Williams was the icing on this cake. The vocal arrangement, the unbeatable swing tempo, the spirit, the dedication is remarkable. It makes me feel good and thankful every time I rerun "Every Day I Have The Blues" by L, H, R and W.

This is the coolest, smoothest, hip - st group of people of all time!

GREAT PERFORMANCE BY ALL

With her passing I just had do a deep dive and my heart is full..wow what a talent

Brilliant. The interplay between Williams and Hendricks is a treat, but it's all good, and the visual enjoyment of this LH&R performance solidifies that they were not merely Magnificent Singers, but that they were also Great Entertainers. (Basie and Green in the rhythm section? HUGE.) Addendum, one year later: I just found out that this was from Hugh Hefner's FIRST TV series "Playboy's Penthouse," in 1959. (His second, "Playboy After Dark," would be on about ten years later.) It's hard to that believe broadcast television was ever this hip.

Wish I was there... what the hell, I feel like I just was! LH&R were (and are) incredible. And as someone else said, Joe Williams was the icing on a very special cake.

Glad it's not just me. Literally pulled up any video of them singing that I ciuld find. Watched interviews, etc. I got a bit sad watching them go from their youth through old age and then learning of their passing. MS. Ross having passed recently. Ms. Bavan seems to be the last survivor of this group. Did the same thing with the Mills Brothers 🤔. Still, these folks were fantastic. Actually heading to a vintage record store to see what they have.

this is killin'!

put it down on the git down, Joe Williams!

Superb.
