There is a Kay Thompson revival going on now; a 3 cd set of her songs is out, and a bio of her is coming out in '10. Maybe her brassy old broad schtick did not go over in the heartland(imo) but she led the chorus for Fred Waring and was Music at MGM, and all her talents were astounding. Another treasure clip from the sadly underrated Hollywood Palace. We need more clips of Robert Goulet from this particular show.
Someone must pull together all the material that is available of this wonderful performer. I really didn't think too much about Thompson until I saw Liza at the Palace and now I can't get enough of her. Thank you for posting!

I love Kay Thompson and i went to see Liza in Vegas and she talked about Kay and based her show on Kays numbers and it was Phenomenal!!! Kay is a Legend and Liza is a living legend! I also saw Cirque du solei and Celine Dion...and nothing and i mean nothing...was better than Liza and Kay!!!

Liza does an amazing tribute to Kay Thompson in her show, Liza's at the Palace! After seeing this clip, I can see that Liza does an amazing job recreating Kay's nightclub act. If you have not seen Liza's show, go!!! It is the most amazing time I have ever had in a theater. Liza's at the Palace will go done in history as Broadway's number one 2008 event!

Thanks for posting....video of her - I think are difficult to come by. I too wonder why she and Judy never performed together in a show. Seems she would have been a guest on The Judy Garland Show. Thanks again.
