- Joe Williams sings an old chestnut from his Count Basie days at the Ella Awards in December of 1990. At the end of the evening, all the singers plus honoree Frank Sinatra join in a reprise of the tune. Fantastic.
- Zábava
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 absolutely stole the show with this performance
Joe and Jack, Frank, Ella, Tony, Steve and Edie. Best singers of their generation on one stage. Billion dollars worth of talent.
Yes..wasn't that awesome to see 2021

Wish I was there!!!
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.
Awe..wow and u were there...
Great story!
This song still hits hard in 2022
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.
Now that's what I call a show...Look at Sinatra...he's in his element, he looks so happy here x
What else can I say but... "The great Joe Williams." What a voice! Sinatra had to stand up.
The old school had so much class and respect for the game and we tried to continue that tradition but failed gracefully.
You can tell Frank just loved this.
Joe Williams!
I'm the daughter of the late Sidney J Wyche who wrote Alright Okay You Win
What a great song!
That looks like a great party...
Class song by a class singer with a class band
Love it ❤️
VANESSA WYCHE Awesome! I play his tune and have lived it since I first heard a record of Joe Williams sing it when I was about 11
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.
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.
That voice!
This guy had so much energy
Really? Energy? Bot
Frank Sinatra, knew who to go to for a night of swinging music!
Seeing this artist do his thing is a blessing. Chills with or without a large band.
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!!!
AWESOME, I LOVED THIS CONCERT!!
A Who’s Who For Mr. S’s 75th!!
Especially Frank & Ella together & Joe Williams!! Thank God for CZcams!!!

Indeed!! Joe, Eydie, Steve, Basie, Sinatra, Judy, adorable Carol Channing (in the audience), sweet Audrey Hepburn, Stan Kenton...God bless 'em all!
Absolutely no reason to go to the Greek Theater or Las Vegas any longer.. entertainment is almost entirely dead and gone..
:(....
Movies, Broadway musical theatre, all of it sad now!
Jan

I would have loved to be in that crowd.....
I wanna sit at Mr. Sinatra's table!
I so wanna be at this party..
Straordinaria...benedizione 2024
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.
Outstanding !!!
Hi Isabel
Poor Joe Williams...loved him! Have to listen again to hear what band swung this!
What a beautiful, fun audience!! (So many of them gone now.) :(....
Dig in, my friend, you can't go wrong with Jow Williams OR Basie band!
same stage- Ella - Edie- Tony B - Frank, Steve Lawrence, Peggy Lee, Big Joe..........thats crazy
Was that Mancini? Wow channeling the Count...,and all those Kansas City years ago.... this is a time capsule for the ages.....,true history!
Damn! Joe Williams!
Great band.
That was the great tonight show band. Best of the best musicians playing behind the cream of American music. Joe Williams ... what more is there to say?
Actually this band is a mixed bag. Some tonight show some of Mancinis, some Basie.
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'.

Hi Mark!
So glad to read all this band personnel info! Love Bill Watrous, Nat Pierce, FRANK CAPP! They all sound so terrific!
😊 Jan
Oops, forgot...love Dick Sherer, STAN KENTON!!!!!
Jan
I can see the legendary Conte Candoli and the legendary Snooky Young in the trumpet section and Red Holloway on tenor saxophone - and it does appear to be Henry Mancini himself conducting the band! (Frankie Kapp on drums for sure!).
What a night! Orchestra conducted by Henry Mancini!
No. Mancini wasn't conducting.
Very well, Mr Joe ... of the best quality.
Legendary singer
Blues is thy Real News!
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 .
Oh I love Joe Williams why did no one tell me about him? I'm 65 yrd old I want this man now!!!! 💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lord have mercy. The orchestra is play it now

Hi Joe! Sounds great 👍

Grandioso.

Classy
Real kool mansize music
3:03 Betty White!
The best.
A lot of times these star studded audiences look stiff. This looked like a party where the cameras were there uninvited. But thankfully for us, they snuck in.
Bass player doin' work!
Frank Sinatra leading the audience pack!!
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
And Sidney Poitier.
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!
Frank Sinatra Joe Willians.So faltou Mel Torne para reunir os maiores cantores dos estados unidos.
Boa
Now we talkin
Great swing.
The Empire
Great song. Your Daddy was groovy!
How can they not move to Joe's All right...?
Thanks to "Sinatra194411991💖♪ for this great Opus ♫ 🎸🎷 🎻🎹🎺Wonderful Band ! 🎼🎵⊰✿¸.•'**☆ ╰⊰✿🎼🎵🎧
Dayam!!!!
okay diddy Williams
Either this is some bad editing, or there's something up with Sinatra's clapping... :/
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.
