My mother was a fan of Lainie's singing and had 3 of her early recordings from the mid-late 1960's. I grew up listening to them--and fell in love with her voice. Later, in 1973 when I was living in Boston, I went to NYC to visit a close friend. While there, Lainie was appearing at the "Rainbow Room" at "Top of the Sixes". My friend took me to hear her. She mesmerizing, and her voice was still stunning. My friend and I had our pic taken together at our table, and Lainie was kind enough to autograph for me. She was very gracious. A bit later, she sang a medley of tunes made famous by Judy Garland, which were terrific. After the medley, she asked the audience if there was anything they would like her to sing. A lady in the back of the room asked Lainie to sing "My Man" from "Funny Girl." Lainie, without hesitating responded: "I couldn't possibly sing 'My Man,'---it belongs to BS." The room broke out in uproarious laughter!! I'll never forget that special evening 45 years ago. Lainie, thank you for sharing your many gifts as an actress and singer. Only a handful have accomplished what you have!! You're very special! :)

I have never fully appreciated Lainie Kazan until seeing her do such a wonderful job with this great Merrill/Styne song. Classic song, classic performance. And then, as I watched the video further, I had no idea that there would be a tribute to one of my favorite of all musicals: BEN FRANKLIN IN PARIS. Robert Young does a great job with it!

She’s had a wonderful career doing exactly what she wanted with the gifts she has. And she still brings honest pleasure to her audience. And she has a buoyant sense of humor, which shines through each and every performance. Lainie Kazan is a true American Master. Not everyone gets to be a superstar. Nor do they wanna be.

Talk about theater obscurity: understudy Lainie Kazan singing "People" -which she would do for exactly ONE performance when "the star" was finally "out" -15 months ithe run. Lainie went into Eve Harrington mode and made sure members of the press were there. However, unlike Eve, poor Lainie was sacked -by order of "the star."

@mannail888 8 жыл бұрын

That's so not true. "The Star" might be described as a extremely power mad ruthless stop-at-nothing-to-get-what-she-wants monster over the years by the press. But to suggest that in the early sixties she could exercise this kind of clout is simply absurd.

@mannail888 7 жыл бұрын

That's so not true. Almost everything you, "Michael Pantyhose", wrote was fabricated: Kazan was two yrs Streisand senior, so the likelihood of them getting familiar with each other back at Erasmus hall was slim, thus "they were high school classmates and competitive even then" was totally made up. Another such is Streisand used her clout to have Frances' screen time in FUNNY GIRL butchered: Streisand was too much of a neophyte in Hollywood when she made her first movie. She didn't know a single thing about movie-making, she didn't have any experience before and behind the camera, she didn't have a clue as to what worked and what didn't. More than anything, the moguls in Tinseltown was trepidatious about Streisand's power in drawing people into the cinemas: No matter how able she had been in packing arenas, stadiums in the concert circuit, how highly regarded a Broadway star, how her records had been selling like hotcake, how her TV specials vaulted to the top of the rating, Streisand was still untried merchandise in the movie business. The basket case of Liberace was still too ingrained in memory to forget.

Utter nonsense, propagated and perpetuated by hateful, fabricated gossip. Do some factual, actual research. These silly stories have long since been debunked. Lainie is a talented performer. Despite all the anti-Streisand babble, she had some great opportunities to prove it. And she did. Neither of these two women stood in each other's way. And each created the level of success and recognition that their own individual talent and style deserved.

@@KingTriton1837 I disagree. Streisand is an original, a talent that comes once in many genrations. She would have succeed no matter what, a voice like hers couldn't be denied. Lainie's singing is great. But there is something ethereal about Barbra's singing that is so natural, un-manufactered, real that's set her apart from everybody else. And she never worked on her voice, it's totally natural. The girl didn't even want to become a singer! Even though I don't believe in God, she has a God given gift.

Singers seem to 'own' certain songs. Lainie's rendition of 'A house is not a home' is simply the best. But then there is Barbra singing 'The kind of man a woman needs'. Who else would even try. Just superb.
