Only read on if you’ve watched this week’s Mad Men.
On tonight’s midseason finale of Mad Men, Bert Cooper upstaged Michael Jackson’s hologram with a show-stopping posthumous performance of “The Best Things in Life Are Free.â€Â If that final scene left you craving more music from the golden-throated Robert Morse, man are you in luck: The actor has been singing and cutting rugs for a long time, and many of his greatest hits are on YouTube. These are a few.
Here he is as J. Pierrepont Finch doing “I Believe in You,†“Rosemary,†and “Brotherhood of Man†in the 1967 movie version of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (he won a Tony for his performance in the Broadway show).
Here he is performing “I Believe in You†on a 1982 TV special.
And here he is, with Tony Roberts, singing “The Beauty That Drives Men Mad†from Sugar, the 1972 musical adaptation of Some Like It Hot.Â
