Rosemary Clooney - 1966 Torch Song Medley video free download

Nice to see the aunt of that over-publicized, overrated left-wing actor George Clooney looking svelte and sounding svell, at probably the peak of her vocal talents here.Save for an occasional viewing of the film "White Christmas," I am more used to seeing Miss Clooney in film and video from her later years (post-Coronet bathroom tissue commercials), when she had ballooned up to quite an unattractive and unhealthy weight. But she never really lost her great singing voice, at least not from what I heard in television programs into the late 1990s. I remember her as a guest on Tom Snyder's "Late Late Show," and a concert she performed from New York's "Rainbow & Stars" venue, that was telecast on the Arts & Entertainment (A&E) channel, back when that cable TV entity still offered programming that was actually arts and entertainment-oriented. And by then Miss Clooney wisely remembered her main gift was her singing voice, not in the service of scripted Hollywood pap and propaganda (though she did appear in one last turn as an Alzheimer's patient, in an episode of the television series "ER" in which her nephew was a contract player).Miss Clooney's recordings of "Hey There" and "Come On-A My House" are classics of the jazz and popular music genres. Her smooth-as-silk vocal range could be counted upon to make even just a mediocre song sound more beautiful.I am aware Rosemary's politics were also decidedly left-of-center. But her passionate support of Senator Robert Kennedy for president doesn't, somehow, seem so perilous by comparison with the extremism of her nephew's politics (and partaking of the current Hollywood propaganda machine), which give comfort and support to the enemies of the United States and of freedom-loving citizens abroad. What was called "liberal" in the 1950s and '60s seems quite moderate by comparison with those who call themselves "liberal" today.The international socialist movement still exists, and the film-going public would do well to remember that before dolling out their hard-earned dollars in support of films in which George Clooney or his ilk (that includes such alleged talents as Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, etc.) have been hired to appear. There should be a revival of "Red Channels" and "Counterattack" today, as a public service for advertisers and consumers in helping them to be informed about which productions they choose to support or not, where the production investments and talents may identified as holding political views (such as pro-communist, pro-Islamofascist) with which a patron may disagree.My name is "gymnastix," and I paid (through my Internet Service Provider bill) for this message.And now a word from our alternate commercial sponsor--"Extra value is what you get when you buy Cor-o-net."And tell them "Rosey" sent you.
