Dick Van Dyke, an actor, spent almost 70 years working in radio, television, cinema, and on stage. He rose to prominence with “The Dick Van Dyke Show” in the 1960s, which showcased his comic talent and likable nature. His filmography includes cherished classics such as “Mary Poppins” and “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” where his singing and dancing ability shined.
Van Dyke has won numerous awards, such as Emmy, Tony, and Grammy awards, and his contributions to entertainment continue to garner recognition over the years.
Beyond the screen, he is a lovely husband who freely expresses his love for his wife. In the video below, he and his wife, Arlene Silver, share joy via singing and dancing. They sang a version of Doris Day’s iconic song “Everybody Loves a Lover.”
Arlene Silver directs this colorful music video, which features the male vocal duo Vantastix and trumpeter Tony Guerrero. The dynamic stage design injects a whimsical vitality throughout the feel-good performance.
When the camera focuses on Dick Van Dyke reclining in a flowery armchair, viewers may anticipate him remaining seated and singing. Even at 96, that would be outstanding.
However, Van Dyke surprises everyone by standing up and dancing with his wife, as Vantastix snaps their fingers and sings the chorus. Guerrero then arrives with a stunning trumpet solo, adding to the intensity in the room.
The video concludes with him nearly tripping over an ottoman, only to effortlessly avoid it. This film is a beautiful display of love, joy, and a genuine celebration of life.
Many individuals who viewed the video applauded them. One commenter says, “This is fantastic. Dick is a virtuoso, and his wife has an excellent pop style. They truly revitalize this song. I love the part at the end where he recalls his show when he stumbled over, and then averted, the hassock in his living room.
Another adds, “Awesome! Dick Van Dyke is a national treasure. They make such a cute duo and have a snappy, enjoyable tune. I like how he skirted the seat at the end, reminiscent of the Dick Van Dyke Show!”
