There's some neat, seldom-seen Merman stuff on YouTube from various points in her career (and vocal status), including a rare performance of "Eadie Was a Lady" and an energetic version of "Ridin' High" from the Dinah Shore show that really rocks! There are also some musical shorts from the very early 1930s.

There's an interesting version of her "Merman Medley" from 1959/60 - it's very cleverly staged, she looks great and is in great voice - she really seems to be relaxed and having a good time with it rather than just doing it by rote, as was kind of evident in some of her later performances.
Also, there's a
great
clip of Merman, Carol Channing, Ann Miller and Della Reese performing "I'm the Greatest Star" on LOVE BOAT - these four pros perform beautifully together without a trace of one-upmanship.

I just watched the one of her and Perry Como. I'll have to check out the others.
