This is Tony Bennett's American Classic featuring Stevie Wonder. Both have made this song famous in two separate genres. Here they bring it together magically.

I initially was going to post Wonder's version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PC4A6u0eE0 but somehow this had much more of an emotional connection that does the song justice.

Bennett's knock em dead performance in his prime can be seen as the second song in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZMsqdD7FpM a variety show starring Dean Martin..

a variety show that was one of the shows that were on during snick. nickelodeon's saturday night line up which included ren and stimpy and are you afraid of the dark. i used to watch this show religiously... if only they released this on dvd...

from the jacksons variety show, 1977.

you can really hear the similarity between young dave's voice and norm macdonald...

If Bush had a variety show, I bet it would suck.

I remember them...watch who you're calling "old" LOL ;-)

A mime variety show...only in the 70's

They have to say a sentence and if they can't do it, they're kicked in the balls.

The text which was with the video on Youtube :
Contestants must say the tongue twister or suffer the consequences. This is actually a variety show by the name of "down town" (written in katakana) it is apparently quite popular in Japan

Jackie's not bad. Did he do the voice for Chinese version of Mulan too? It's not fair comparing him to Donny Osmond. Remember Donny said from his 70's variety show, he's "a little bit rock-and-roll" ;-)

I wish "variety" shows would come back... considering I wasn't alive at that time. This reality crap is for the birds.
