About the dress. It cost her, probably, around $10,000 and at the time was the height of show business fashion. It was hand beaded. Kate loved working with young talent and toured in the late 1960s with a group named "The Kids Next Door," who danced and sang with her. She was, incidentally, a terrific dancer.
Wasn't this one of her last appearances on any show before the health problems that finally sidelined her career? She definitely was up for and to it up to then . . .
thnaks!!! for Kate smith teaming with donny and marie!!!
Thanks for posting this! Kate Smith is one of the great voices of the twentieth century.
How fun to see Kate with these young ones! She is wonderful and always "with it" no matter the song or the people!
In the annals of American singers, Kate Smith will always be among the very best.
The fantastic Kate smith, this lovely,thanks for posting.
She is/was an American icon... a national treasure!!
They were all great. My grandmother sang KaKaKa Katie.
It's a shame that those two recordings Smith made in the 30's have now sullied her reputation.
It's a disgrace what they have done to her. An utter disgrace.

She stopped singing in 1976 because of her health and she eventually couldn’t even speak, so this would be one of her lasts
They were replaced with truly high class entertainment - - The Kardashians and Jersey Shore. LOL
