Here's Maurice Chevalier's appearance on the October 26, 1958 episode of "The Dinah Shore Chevy Show." He starts with "There's A Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder" and "You Made Me Love You" and then teams with Dinah for a bilingual "La Vie En Rose" and "Something's Gotta Give."
Pearlie Mae tears it up and Dinah plays straight woman in this call and response take on "Mack The Knife" as performed live on the Dinah Shore Chevy Show in 1960.
Here's gospel legend Mahalia Jackson herself singing "Down By The Riverside" with Dinah Shore on The Dinah Shore Chevy Show. Mahalia made her TV debut on Dinah's Show and was a frequent guest. She and Dinah became lifelong friends and, according to one biography, Mahalia even kept a picture of Dinah by her bed and Dinah sang at one of Mahalia's last concerts in the early 1970s.
Dinah offers a rudimentary introduction to jazz and then lets the big boys, Gerry Mulligan and his group, featuring Ben Webster, demonstrate on "Go Home." This is from an episode of "The Dinah Shore Show" that aired on March 25, 1962.
Dinah Shore chats with Julie Andrews and then Julie sings "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady on The Dinah Shore Chevy Show from January 12, 1958.
Dinah Shore gives thanks this Thanksgiving in song and then joins tablemates Louis Prima, Keely Smith, Ernie Kovacs, Edie Adams, and husband George Montgomery on a round of "Dry Bones." This is the Thanksgiving episode of the Dinah Shore Chevy Show from 1957.
Here's Bette Davis promoting her album "Miss Bette Davis Sings!" on a 1978 episode of "DINAH!" devoted to Miss Davis and her career. Dinah, with ten years experience shilling Chevys behind her, gives it a hard-sell, much to Bette's disdain. Miss Davis then offers a "going along with" version of "I Wish You Love." It's the first time I've seen someone need a cough drop to lip-synch a song.
This comes from "The Dinah Shore Show" from the 1964-65 season when she did a series of specials on ABC sponsored by Purex. This one was a salute to the Peace Corps and featured songs from all over the world sung in their native language. This one is in Iranian and I don't know the title. If anyone does, please share it.
Here's the extraordinary Ethel Merman in an extraordinary seven-minute medley of her biggest hits taken from Dinah Shore's "Salute to Broadway" episode of DINAH! from 1975. DInah, Robert Morse, Michelle Lee and Phil Silvers gush about the Merm, while Jack Cassidy is silent. And who's the only one not standing and cheering at the end? Jack Cassidy. Hmmm.
This segment is from a 1964 episode of The Dinah Shore Show on ABC that was all about the Peace Corp. Joining Dinah is her guest Harry Belafonte as they each sing in the native language of the song.
Here's a surreal phone-to-phone interview between Dinah Shore in her television studio and Elizabeth Taylor in Washington DC, about to leave for a party with a silently impatient Senator John Warner just off camera and her Siamese kitty-kat in her lap. This was from a "Salute To Leading Ladies" episode of "Dinah!" from July 18, 1978.
Here's a "Dinah!" segment spotlighting film siren Rhonda Fleming as she reminisces about working with Dinah's special guest Bob Hope with Rosemary Clooney, Lucille Ball, Jane Russell and Dinah. This episode originally aired on July 5, 1977 and Bob gets in a topical joke at the end that could've only gotten that huge of a laugh in the summer of 1977.
