This brought tears to my eyes. It's a joy to see that the spirit of great artists like Charisse and Montalban carry on down through time.

La magia del baile de Cyd y Ricardo no se puede repetir, es algo de antología. El tributo es un aplauso de pie.

They'd truly be honored i.e. Montalban and Charisse. You two did right by them as well as us all. Thank you for paying such a charming and competent tribute to them.

After 6 years it's still one of the best videos on YouTube I believe. I hope you will make more. 🙏🏻

This was such a delight to see! I enjoyed every moment and it made me smile. I love that iconic dance scene portrayed by Ricardo and Cyd. But this is just as good. Keep up the good work! You all did great all who worked on this video. -Rachel

This makes my soul happy. Thank you so much! I lived in Oaxaca for a very short time long ago, and I have never stopped wanting the romance and dancing I had there. This makes me feel like I felt in Oaxaca!

This is just spectacular! Though no longer there, I loved the scenery from my native New York City! Loving the brilliant talent goes without saying; they're everything they should be and their talent seems boundless! I think I've uploaded 5 or 6 with both Ricardo and Cyd, two of the most talented of performers over the years, and the best of friends for many decades! Thanks so much for posting! Love it!

Hello!
It's not that I haven't been watching; I just haven't expressed myself! Forgive me. Comment 2: This is such an amazing performance! I can't begin to tell you the emotional affect this has on me, but just want all involved in the creation of this wonder to know that I'm acting as a kind of press-agent! You're all that good, and I want the world to know!
Best always,
varadero
