In Sutherland's autobiography, she mentioned how much she enjoyed singing this medley with the other two great ladies.
Fun anecdote; thanks for sharing that, Dave
She also mentioned that she and Richard went to see Ella’s show and how much they loved it.
Thank you!
This is treasure. I never knew Ella and Dame Joan ever appeared together. The greatest Jazz singer and the greatest opera singer.
A great example of the power of her voice and also the power of projection so important to opera singers! Ellah and Dinah, even with the microphone, couldn't match the power. They all had a blast! What a wonderful TV moment!
Oh God, all that means is that she was the loudest. Why do people have to compare performers, from different genres at that? The whole idea of collaboration is to bring together vocalists with different styles, not to find out who outsang whom.
@@barakodad4fun683, I agree. It was a comedy schtick. Ella and Dinah cut their teeth before microphones were invented, so projection was no lost art with them. Plus, amplification or no amplification, you need serious chops to stay on top of the brass section of a big band, so they easily held their own here, in spite of the visual gag with the microphone.
@@TheSadaAbeExperience More over, Joan sings in a much higher range in this - which itself will carry greater volume naturally. Both Dinah and Ella had quite extended high (and natural sopranos as well) ranges with decent projection when they wanted. This right here was done as a comedy sketch pretty obviously.
@@barakodad4fun683 damn got a little pressed didn’t ya. 😂 Take a chill pill before you go postal because of someone having made an observation.
Joan was having a grand old time.
Dame Joan Sutherland ! The greatest voice of all time , the most perfect voice of all opera singers in history ! La Stupenda !
Joanie OWNED THIS....gave me goose pimples all over.
I just love how well they work together. And how Dinah just wasn't ready after Joan stopped singing
Three beautiful, distinctive voices, three megastars., having a blast. Wow.
I find interesting that Joan, sitting down and far from the microphone, still drowns everybody.
Ladies with three different styles of singing all three having a great sense of humor. 😀
Joan is so sweet here, so shy! It's practically impossible to stay such a humble, kind person while being one of the best and most popular prima donnas ever. Joan never let fame turn her into some arrogant diva! She was such a wonderful person...
To me, her incredible modesty her an even greater star.
I agree - a true star
Well, Ella was very shy as well
Joan and Ella two of the GREATEST natural voices ever! I wish these three ladies had made a novalty album.

Ella a natural voice certainly. But Sutherland spent decades learning her craft so throwing up her talent to simple natural gift is sort of insulting. She worked EXTREMELY hard and her effort paid off.
I'm recovering from reconstructed shoulder surgery and let me tell you the utter delight of hearing ELLA, DINAH and DAME SUTHERLAND warbling the sprightly '3 Little Maids' was fantastic! What a treat! Entertainment with a capital 'E'! thanks for posting!
** Dame Joan! (Not "Dame Sutherland")
Each of these ladies was at the absolute top of her genre, no ego or insecurities to get in the way, the only competition perhaps a little bit of friendly "can I hold this note longer than you?" So much fun for us, and you can tell they were enjoying themselves immensely. And at the end, even sitting down, Joan's top range blows their volume completely out of the water. To be fair, she was the only one of the three used to singing without a microphone!
I love the way Ella and Dinah are sort of getting out of her way; what a great idea this was, to put those three together.
@@barehands007 They are smart, megatalented singers at the top of their game, each playing to their strengths.
This is just PERFECT! Each one a TITAN in her own right and allowed to be entirely themselves! I love this appreciation and cooperation of genres! Then when Dinah has trouble finding a pitch-she is just cool and HANDLES IT! Amazing!
Joan Sutherland... seemed to be attaracted to black people... 3:29... always very keen to introduce herself and chat... 0:58 ... in another life... you never know ;)
girls just having fun, love the microphone joke.
Oh my. As soon as Joan started singing the 2nd song, my back became covered in goosebumps, and then a second wave even stronger. I have always adored Joan’s voice, and this is a new pleasure that overwhelms me. Thank you!!!
Joan Sutherland smh one hell of a voice
Love Joan's laugh going down the scale!
Super!
Those were the days when 'crossover' really meant something and was special.
LOVE IT! Three very different performers venturing outside of their established "comfort zones" to make gorgeous music! Thank you for sharing this!
Sheer class.
YES!!!!
Oh, this is wonderful! Simply heaven...!
Beautiful beyond all telling.
Just love this. Great sense of humour especially Joan.
I remember watching this when it firs aired ..and I was only 11!! And Dinah Shore's quip at the end was: I could have used the microphone in my throat!!
Thank you for sharing that quip!
You're just a year older than me, and I don't remember this. Wish I did. I'm sure I watched it with my mom. She adored the pairing of Fitzgerald and Shore. This is a treat.
So freakin much fun!!!
......great mixing of styles....and...It Works!
😎😎😎
The remarkable thing is, it works!
Laughed hard with these ladies!
Ive had the shittest week, like real bad. This video just immediately makes me smile and feel better:)
Inspired casting. How on earth did these particular 3 ladies get together on this show?!! "Three Little Maids" from "The Mikado" is funny enough, but cueing the microphone to out-sing Joan on "Lover, Come Back to Me" is genius. And does anyone hear Dinah ad-lib to Joan, "don't get nervous!!"
I'm in hysterics...YES!
Stunning. You don't get better than this!
I had an absolute blast watching that. I can't imagine how much fun they had.
What is truly amazing is how the three great ladies voices work together .... and they are clearly having as much fun as we are watching them!!!
Gee! Absolutely DELIGHTFUL!!!!
It has often been said that Dame Joan Sutherland "personalityless and had no acting talent, particularly so, gp
Gee! Absolutely ---- DELIGHTFUL!!!
What a delight it is when all performers, know Music, can read it, can actually sing, and have bright, sassy, stage personalities, for real!
It has often been said that Dame Joan Sutherland had no acting ability, particularly, for Comedy---- WOW--- she's a "NATURAL" for it
It was she made that entire number sparkle out!!!!
Thank youv, You Tube,
Thank You Tube for that "FUN" Surprise!!!!
Oh, Gee, WEE!!!!
You Tube, Thank you so much for such a FUN video!!!!
Thank you, all involved in the Production!!!!!!!!!!!!
Получила настоящее наслаждение от исполнения! Браво!!!👏👏👏
Wow I have never seen this performance. You had to have talent and certainly these ladies in their own rights were excellent.
Much respect to each one of these ladies.
WOW!!! I LOVE THIS!!! THANK YOU!!! Good to see Dame Joan having some fun!!!
$100,000,000 of talent right there. I'll bet they practiced three minutes.
It's the best! I love it!
To me, Joan Sutherland OWNED this entire video. The other two wonderful ladies were great to go along with this. What a fun video! Thanks!!!
"Don't get nervous", 1.56, lol
Superb entertainment. Such singing talent!
This is awesome!
WHY ONLY NOW HAVE I DISCOVERED THIS?!?!
So cute, natural, divine🌹
"Three Little Maids" (from Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Mikado"). "Lover, Come Back to Me" (from Sigmund Romberg's "The New Moon").
Thanks so much for uploading this!
What a classy trio.
Now if Julie Andrews was here too??🎶🎵🎶🎵 OMG this footage would DEFINITELY BE AN CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!
That is a dame!!!
Lovely
Another wrinkle: This was an INTEGRATED performance! That was a HUGE deal then, especially on television. Stunning. All of them! Amazing!!
And on what show now could an audience recognize Gilbert and Sullivan?? Ah! Change brings both good and bad.
Fabulous!
OMG this is brilliant, I want more! where can I get more of these programs???
Ha ha! What an amazing video! Not surprisingly, when Sutherland that last note, my phone told me that I exceeded the maximum volume 😂 Her voice would drown out ocean waves.
This is why I watch CZcams
Che meraviglia 🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏
Sullivan's music is perfect for this silly and innocent song. Delightful.
WONDERFUL ! Thank you so much :)
Ez fantasztikusan jó volt!
Charming !
This was quite funny!
délicieux mélange des genres
There was a reason why Joan Sutherland was called La Stupenda.
Amazing! Who can get me the same thing with Edith Piaff, Billie Holliday & Maria Callas!?
Ew. Billy Holliday can't sing for shit. Her voice was hardly ever supported and drugs fucked her up. It's a dishonor for a singer of her caliber to sing along divas who actually put the effort to learn how to sing.

What a SUPERB idea!!!! Read my previous comment: such bringing together of Humans from diverse "neighborhoods of life", having FUN together, has such POSITIVE ENERGY, that, if all Human Psyches "tuned in" to this, there will NEVER AGAIN be more WARS AND/OR ABUSE!!!!
What delightful Positivity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Callas Billie and Piaf would have never accepted to sing together but Tebaldi would have sung with Ella and Dinah if she had been invited .. Robert Merrill sang with Sinatra and with Louis Amstrong Dorothy Kirsten with Sinatra etc. Franco Corelli would have sung a duet with Barbara Cook in a Bell Telephone Hour they made together if they had rehearsed one a pity.Placido Domingo Lúciano Pavarotti Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Monserrat Caballe José Carreras and others sang with many popular singers too . Caballe and Freddie Mercury Domingo and John Denver Dame Kiri and Natalie Cole Pavarotti and many singers in Modena etc.Dame Joan started this with Ella and Dinah and they were marveleus together
What fun!
Can't imagine Callas joining in the fun like this.
John Fitzpatrick Because she took herself far too seriously.
Oh, but Beverly Sills ... she’d fit right in, and then some!
@@floris.927 Beverly Sills was on the Muppet Show hanging a spoon from her nose with Gonzo! She had no pretension whatsoever.
Thomas Dawkins Yep! She isn’t called Bubbles for nothing!
@@ChrisStockslager - watch this: czcams.com/video/dXdMOzFhvlw/video.html
Brilliant!! Thanks for sharing it ♥️
Can you imagine any, ANY of today's talk show hosts doing anything of this caliber??? At most, they mug in front of the camera, do ridiculous dances, and tell "jokes" ....
Unrehearsed live TV encounters between unrelated major musicians is a thing of the past. Too much ego and money in the way now.
oh to have been at the rehearsals for this show!!!!
Most ambitious crossover
aquele momento em que você perde as palavras e apenas reverencia o TALENTO dessas três artistas maravilhosas. que perfeição ( e que saudade de artistas assim)
Here you can hear why opera singing is the pinnacle of human voice.
Don’t be such a damn snob. Ella Fitzgerald was a miracle and could do things with her voice no opera singer could. That’s why this clip is special. And opera singers should never be allowed anywhere near jazz standards- as great as Joan is!
@@Piratebreadstick Did I sound like a snob? Two of my favourite singers: Luciano Pavarotti and Ella Fitzgerald (I picked this clip because of her!). However, I still think opera singing shows the greatest capabilities of human voice. My intention was to give an opinion, not to be disrespectful.
Joan didn't need a microphone
@@Piratebreadstick Ella was the weeker singer here. She showed a lot of musicanship, but compared to the other two she almost had no voice.
@@Piratebreadstick they weren't being snob, but stating a fact. The project and technique of an opera singer is something hard to match in any kind of pop music
no one can put Ms. Ella down she still the most famous of all....they could try to put her down in talent, but she is not opera singer, different stile, but nevertheless multi talented without taking any credit from these other talented singers neither, but I as many more got this channel because of Ella...and only her!!
Ella more famous than Sutherland? Neither are famous outside there niche audiences.
Ella whery musical !
Ella Fitzgerald always looks a bit socially awkward, but she was the greatest jazz singer ever
She sings it with Julie Andrews too!
loVELY SHOW， but why does miss Ella seem uncomfortable
Well they should have Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and you know someone else and have them sing this. LOL
Shams I guess Anna Netrebko can do Joan Part
@@asiatennis - dream on!
édesek.
SUTHERLAND..ERA MAS COMICA QUE LAS DEMAS............UN MOSTRUO .DE LA ESCENA Y DEL CANTO...............EN AQUELLA EPOCA............Y EN TODOS SUS MAS DE 40 AÑOS CANTANDO LA PRENSA LA SEGUIA.PERO LA RESPETABA.................PORQUE EL MOSTRUO DEL CANTO NO TENIA BARRERAS..............LA GRAN JOAN SUTHERLAND........
I'd put together today Adele, Lady Gaga and Anna Netrebko to do this lol
haha, you are funny
Willian rodrigues pereira yeah, sure.....
Switch out adel and put beyonce
Joan looks very tall and have big head.Hahaha
She was 6'2" the same height as Julia Child!
@@ThomasDawkins88 no, she was not 6,2
@@ThomasDawkins88 she was 5 foot 8
Well, they messed that up.
Sarah Vaugan would of took her OUT
Sarah Vaughn would have genuflected.
Not Sarah Vaughan, but maybe Ethel Merman.
