On this Throwback Thursday we're turning the clock back 64 years to 1958, when the musical film Gigi was released. The film starred Leslie Caron, Louis Jordan, Maurice Chevalier, and Hermione Gingold.
The Lerner and Loewe film won nine Oscars and featured some wonderful songs, including I Remember it Well, a duet by Chevalier and Gingold. In the same year, Chevalier sang the song on the Ed Sullivan Show, with Sophie Tucker as his partner in the duet.
Tucker, born Sofia Kalish, was known for her powerful delivery of comical and risqué songs. She was one of the most popular entertainers in the U.S. during the first half of the 20th century. She was known by the nickname "The Last of the Red-Hot Mamas".
