It's The Age Of Aquarius

I've had The Age of Aquarius in my head for some reason. I've been humming this song all week long now. I decided to look for clips of people singing it. I've found some that I thought I would post. I hope you enjoy them.

I've posted this one of Peter Lawford before, but I wanted to post it again.



Here is Diahann Carroll:



Here is Engelbert Humperdinck:



So do you like any of these versions? If so, which one? Curious to know. Thanks. I was hoping to find some other entertainers do this song. It's a shame that Sammy Davis Jr. didn't do this song. I could easily imagine him covering this song.

Sammy Davis Jr. & Dorothy Dandridge Are Among The Stars Of Porgy & Bess

These pictures are from the 1959 film Porgy and Bess. It's based on a Gershwin opera set among the black residents of a fishing community in 1912 South Carolina. Porgy and Bess starred Sidney Poitier and Dorothy Dandridge as the main characters. Sammy Davis Jr., Pearl Bailey, Brock Peters & Diahann Carroll were among the other stars. The film has its share of problems. The source material was considered racially insensitive and full of racial stereotypes. Almost all of the principal actors had their singing voices dubbed over. The movie was not shot on location. The Gershwin family was not happy with the finished product. While the film did go on to win an Oscar for its musical score, it was not a commercial or critical success. It has been all but dismissed these days.

The first picture features Sidney Poitier as Porgy, Sammy Davis Jr. as Sportin' Life, Dorothy Dandridge as Bess & Brock Peters as Crown. The other pictures are of Sammy and Dorothy.

Dean Does Some Witchcraft With Diahann & Frank

I really love this picture and the following video clip. It's Dino with his guests Diahann Caroll and Frank Sinatra on The Dean Martin Variety Show. They are performing Witchcraft. This has actually always been one of my favorite Sinatra songs. I love these three doing the song together. I hope you enjoy it too.
