I had the privilege of being her hair and makeup man, for awhile. Oh the stories ! RIP Elaine

What is it about her? From deadpan to glimmering imp. Vocally limited tonal beauty. Hardworking but seemingly effortless. She’s one of the all time greats!

Sylvia Fine Kaye did a Broadway-themed series for PBS way back when. I was a kid in Utah and watched them. I remember this installment vividly. Ms. Kaye said Elaine had traveled from her home in London [this was in Elaine's London period] just to sing this song for us on that TV program. I had never heard of Elaine Stritch before this, but I sure knew her after this. She performs brilliant: the violence lies only slightly below the surface.

So far as I can tell, this comes from a PBS program entitled Sylvia Fine Kaye's Music Comedy III, circa 1985.

That would be around the time she was doing the Ellen Burstyn show.

This remains the BEST rendition of this song that I have ever heard (or seen) - with love to Vivienne Segal, of course.

My heart belongs to Miss Segal with her rendition. We have the luck of a video with Miss Stritch. We don’t have a video of Miss Segal’s performance of this song. 😢. Our loss.

Have you heard Mary Martin's completely sweet, deadpan version with Rodgers at the piano? Either way, some of the most brilliant rhyming in a comedy song. wreck to me / appendectomy patricide / mattress side Worthy of Cole Porter, Noel Coward, etc. How is it that this has not been recommended to me until 2024?

Blossom Dearie's version is wonderful with her so innocent sounding voice.

I love this. I never get enough of Elaine Stritch's underrated, interesting singing. Thanks! Can anybody re-post an old video of her singing "You Took Advantage of Me" on some old TV show? I really want to see it, but it's no longer anywhere on KZfaq.

Excellent! I've loved this song since I heard Pearl Bailey do it (on vinyl) years ago, and now another great version.

Elaine Stritch did this brilliantly. Mary Martin also did a wonderful version of this on a 1950's album.

I love Elaine Stritch. She's great and she's exceedingly funny here. However, for a completely different take, there is the legendary Mary Martin's, who underplays this to great effect, letting the lyrics play against her love song delivery, while Richard Rogers accompanies her.

@jimh23 you are obviously too young and inexperienced to appreciate true greatness. yes, mary testa can be good - or perhaps good enough - but she is not great and will be forgotten as soon as she has left us. stritch will endure. you need to read a book about the theatre - i suggest you begin with every book that ethan mordden has ever written. DO THIS NOW! (mary testa indeed - jeez1)
