Ed Sullivan’s RCA TK11s and Robert Goulet Perform Together…You’ll See

Posted on
From merely wandering among the cameras, to riding the Houston Fearless B30 crane in CBS Studio 50, singer Robert Goulet, in a 1964 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, brings his commanding baritone to a medley of four great standards—maintaining his characteristic robust punch while allowing an air of vulnerability to emerge when the songs call for it.
• “It’s Magic” (1947) — Music: Jule Styne | Lyrics: Sammy Cahn | Written for Romance on the High Seas (1948), where it was introduced by Doris Day.
• “Almost Like Being in Love” (1947) — Music: Frederick Loewe | Lyrics: Alan Jay Lerner | Written for Brigadoon and introduced on Broadway by David Brooks and Marion Bell.
• “But Beautiful” (1947) — Music: Jimmy Van Heusen | Lyrics: Johnny Burke | Written for Road to Rio (1947), where it was introduced by Bing Crosby.
• “So in Love” (1948) — Music & Lyrics: Cole Porter | Written for Kiss Me, Kate, where it was introduced by Patricia Morison.
Many thanks to Vera Goulet for kindly allowing us to share this wonderful performance.
