"Unsuitable" - Joyce Grenfell goes Jazzy!
This lesser known song by the inimitable Joyce Grenfell brings us more of her wonderful humour and showcases the breadth of her musical talent. She is accompanied on the piano by her musical director William Blezard, who was also musical director for Marlene Dietrich and Noel Coward. I did not make the video. It is a small part of the BBC's wonderful Joyce Grenfell collection.

zhlédnutí 108Před 6 měsíci
Joyce Grenfell's favourite character was the wife of the Vice Chancellor, who was the subject of three of her wonderful monologues. No audio recording appears to exist of the second one, so for fans of her work I have uploaded the text version.

And, I think under-appreciated. Such a welcome surprise to see this. She was the highlight of any film she was in. And her books: so funny!
Who are you Edward311? Only people of a certain age will even know her name. There’s a recording of a song she does, sacrificing herself to her brother’s (?) children. Always makes me cry.
She was fantastic!!
Thank you so much! After watching the first and third Eng Lit sketches, I've been curious about this one for years!
You're very welcome!
Oh yes!
"Live and let live; we can't all be anarchists." Lol.
Class, talent, style and elegance.
Brilliant
Most dearly loved and missed.
i agree
Such a beautiful and funny lady :
A dress with pockets! 😮❤
What an amazing woman she was. I remember her years ago on tv. Thank you
You are welcome!
Pockets in her dresses as well? My god. She truly was an icon
Truly what's new, most women had pockets in their dresses in the 1910s.
Wonderful, Joyce Grenfell at her best, bless her.
Oh,thank you for showing this. Joyce Grenfell was of a generation.........so understatedly funny. English to the core. Some of her characters were evident everywhere you looked in 1950's & 1960's England
One never grows out of Joyce Grenfell. She's every bit as funny now as she was then, and her comedy was never barbed but always gentle. I miss her.
A very talented woman, a one off…
Joyce Grenfell..one of the best..no..THE BEST..she was also a brilliant musician. I loved watching her on Face The Music..a TV show from many years ago.
Days of yore so much happier than today when everything is designated.😮 3:20 3:20
Just brilliant
Loved her monologues especially the one in church and with nursery children
"George, don't do that!"
So clever, wonderful
The religion of the English
Another age another time!
Love people with character and Joyce Grenfell was. Absolutely fanatstic, can't stop laughing at the wonderful voices and performance. Brilliant stuff.
I think the best and most accomplished performers draw one into their world and then one is absorbed by the narrative. Joyce Grenfell is certainly entertaining. Love many of her films too, always a pleasure to see her, a definite highlight.
My first discovery of this comedian She is absolutely delightful and very touching I'm glad there are recordings to share
What a Star
Too funny! Reminds me of the time I was attending a lecture with friends and upon hearing the siren of a passing fire truck, to my horror, I remembered that I had forgotten to take out a cake in the oven set at 400F. Yes, it was blackened and solidifying into a brick with the appearance of cooled lava. A good recipe to replace tarmac.
She was so precious. A shame there are no comedians like that anymore. She played the quintessential English Lady so well.
She was a performer, but I think she played herself. She was a close relative of the Astors & grew up on the periphery of high society. She was a great observer & converted her observations into her performance.
I used to listen to her on the radio when I was younger. Now she reminds me of Jeanne Robertson…2 lovely, classy ladies who were able to find the humour in all sorts of situations but never stooped to using foul language or being mean or vicious to or about anyone or anything. I’m sure you are both doing command performances in heaven! Is
Mm-mm
Mm-mm indeed. Entertainment now created mechanically.Ugh!
Good old fashioned entertainment with the wonderful Joyce Grenfell. ☺️ Thankyou.
A very underrated but extremely talented lady.
I couldn’t adore Joyce Grenfell anymore than I have ever done ! I grew up listening to her …..memories of a childhood steeped in uncontrollable laughter and appreciation for her wit and humour .
Me too!
Better than today's crap😢
She had a wonderful collection of jewel coloured taffeta dresses!
Reversible I think. Each one seems to have a different colour on the inside.
The dresses she wears are glamorous, and I would be proud to wear them today, makes instagragram influences look cheap, and tatty,
Wonderful to watch Joyce!! I remember watching her as a kid and she was so funny and there weren't any female comics/ entertainers back then??
What pleasure she gave!
She brought so many of us so much joy.
Brilliant comedian, she led the way for people today 👏👏👏👏👏
What is the hymn tune name?
The epitome of grace, wit and kindness.
Such a poignant kick, left to the very end.
The great Joyce Grenfell. They don't make comedy like that anymore RIP Miss Grenfell you might not be with us anymore but your comedy lives on.
Unfortunately, the still make television interviewers exactly like that.
Classic
She made us believe we could see all the invisble people.
This was in Scotland? Spencer Davis Group, Stevie Winwood vocals and keyboard!!
Saw her on stage, & she was marvellous! Went backstage, & met Ms Grenfell afterwards. Got her autograph, & we chatted for about ten minutes’, as I was studying Speech & Drama at the time. A real thrill to have seen, met, & chatted to a wonderful lady……
Hilarious.
I think we could all relate to that one! “Isn’t she nice? I wonder why we hated her?” !! 😁👍
