Heard this for the first time when I was about 12 years old. I didn't understand it then. Now whilst planning a wedding in a pandemic that will be so intimate and without frills, I understand. And it's beautiful.

Yes, the pianist does look like Michael Feinstein. In this particular song, Liza establishes that she can do more than sing torch songs & she does so with complete authority & as another observed, no frills, no gimmicks. She has the confidence as an artist to let the lyrics & the music touch the audience. She made this song come alive, quietly....

The melody heard at the very beginning before she sings is "My Own Space" from "The Act", also Kander & Ebb. And Yes, that IS Michael Feinstein accompanying her.

Her eyes look so dilated here. Anyway, she really put her heart into it. At first, the song sounded like the theme song for the film Somewhere in Time.

I was very young back then and I didn't know anything about drugs and their effects. I just thought she was beautiful with the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. Now everyone knows that she was doing cocaine throughout all of her youth and continued till all the smoking crack and snorting cocaine destroyed her voice and lungs. She now is hardly able to get her breath. So very sad this enormously talented lady destroyed herself. 🥺🙄😥

@@charliechilders6630 I knew she had done cocaine at some point, but knew nothing about the crack. That is very sad. What a unique talent she was.

@@twistoffate4791 cocaine has destroyed millions of lives and is currently destroying millions more today. This destroyed Liza's health/life in 2 different ways: after snorting cocaine, it runs down through the sinuses then to the back of the throat. It's a powerful acid burning the vocal cords as it passes down the throat. This explains why later in the late 1970's and 1980's voice was beginning to sound rough, horse and raspy at times. #2. When someone is smoking crack cocaine, the smoke is an even stronger acid and it burns holes into the lungs. After years of constantly burning more and eventually bigger holes into the lungs, it then becomes impossible for the lungs to get and hold air for breathing and singing. She has always been partying to the excess since the beginning of her early 20's And now it's time for the piper to be paid. Along with the decades of smoking, sadly she probably also has cancer of the lungs. This is why she is in a wheelchair because she can't breathe when she's walking. May God truly bless her.🙄🥺😥

Should have been much more from top talent Liza, who had lifestyle issues. Judy went kaput too, but she did great musical films first. Young Liza in the 60s and 70s didn't have the chances.

No, sorry. Judy was better but Liza is pretty good, too.

You are definitely a fan. You obviously have never heard Judy sing "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" from the movie "Ziegfeld Girl" or "The Man Who Got Away."
