One of my Heroes on TV in my Childhood. Danny is the nicest and symphatic Comedian and Actor of the 20th Century! "The Jester" from 1956 is one of my all time favorite Movies up to this day!

This segment comes from the final ten minutes of Ed's last Richard Rodgers tribute show filmed at the Hollywood Bowl. Most of this show has been posted here in several different videos. However, this part of the show with Danny was pre-recorded in New York at the Ed Sullivan theatre, and was not filmed at the Bowl. Danny only appeared twice on the Sullivan show with the first time being in 1952 when he performed a scene from his movie "Hans Christian Andersen". At the time of this much later second appearance, Danny was starring in a brand new Rodgers musical (Rodgers was 68 at the time, Kaye was 57) called "Two by Two"; one of his lesser-known later works. It took a lighthearted look at the story of Noah and the Ark. The reviews of the show were mixed but it played a respectable 343 performances. "You" is a song from the musical.

He could sing, dance, be funny, be gentle, tell stories, and about 100 other things, RIP Danny you are missed.

He's One of a kind. This type of song is difficult to sing. He mastered it

[michaelgreen]

Miss and love you, Danny Kaye! He was a UNICEF ambassador & loved to cook Chinese food and was quite good at it according to Audrey Hepburn!

As a young boy we loved Danny. When I see him now I suddenly think he is the nice, sweet and funny grandfather of Richard Gere

[lenhummel]

I think Danny is singing here about his companion, soulmate wife, Sylvia Fine. 💞💖 Love Danny Kaye.

I know Danny Kaye takes a lot of bad raps for acting up during TWO BY TWO - but watching this clip instead of just listening to the number on the album show me how a great entertainer can make magic out of a sweet song like this.

Danny grew his hair out a little bit to keep up with the times.
