Wickedly wonderful Jerry Orbach! Hello Gorgeous!! 🥰 ❤️‍🔥

I saw Glynis Johns and Len Cariou in the original version of "A Little Night Music". I heard thru the not-so-certain grape vine that the song was written for Johns who can't sing. Notice the 4 constantly repeated notes! Johns pulled it off as a lament and Cariou made it sound like a confession but his version wasn't as moving as her sing/talk!

She is the only one I have seen who sang this song with a sense of surprise that the situation that she finds herself in. It's not just heartache. What you see is her ego being shattered.

heartbreaking and spellbinding! brava, miss johns!

R.I.P., Barbara Cook.

Upon hearing of the great lady's death, this was the first of her performances to which I turned. Sublime and transcendent.

*RIP*

RIP Ms. Cook.

Благодарю за запись! Тереза такая удивительная, она очень пластичная и разная! Очень люблю ее талант!

I saw her perform in London in the mid 1980s - one of the best evenings ever.

WOW WOW WOW W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From a mad keen 73yo Aussie fan.

She is wonderful.

Oh my goodness...Judy is the best for this song...what a performance...WOW, says it all!

My GOD that belt mix is on POINT!

...do you know the original air date/

I think the person who said that perhaps no one else could have done this song any better is so right! It is pure perfection. I love seeing Sondheim, Angela Lansbury and Kitty Carlyle all in a row at the end during the applause!

I have never seen Ethel Merman like this before.

Gwen Verdon was at least 50 when she did Chicago. She looks great and her dancing is fabulous!

I really think Ella could've done a Burt Bacharach and Hal David songbook album if she had wanted to.

I didnt know this was there!, I thought the one in Chicago was the first lol, this is far better

First heard the Judy Collins' hit version in the mid 70s. I remember it sounded very haunting and sad. Then later I learned about the Soundheim play and the wonderful actress Glynis John, the song became more meaningful and profound. You just dont listen to it strictly for pleasure but for thinking about the foolishness and mistakes made in our lives. Lovely.

I love Dorothy Loudon want a underappreciated performer

is the Best. .. underated a pity she is not doing these GREAT roles

Ah....her voice is like spun glass : )

The best.

I love this! Im 27 but I can totally appreciate this beauty! love the emotion of these 3 classy ladies!!! this is Golden Age Broadway!

That big girl sure can sing...!

This made me cry!

Judy's story is a brilliant thumbnail sketch of Dietrich. It captures the ego, but also the insecurity, of someone desperate to be accepted by her peers. Judy was, of course, extremely competitive, even at her level, which partly explains the way she liked to prick the pretensions of other stars such as Dietrich and Elizabeth Taylor.

Such a great voice

Ella the greatist!!!

this is a voice! Adore her

"if you have a dime save a nickel" WISDOM!

My god she was beautiful and so feminine. sexy in a way that made you want to fall in love with her. AND this is the definitive version, not Judi Dench. Good but not this good.

of course this song is an indictment of racism. tony bennett sings it heart felt.

Da Lei è più bella ( Biutifull ) che cantata da Frenk Sinatra

The hair is standing up on the backs of my arms. This isn't some smooth suave crooner's tune. She's equally commanding and pleading. How could you possibly deny someone who asks for love like that?

Barbara announced her retirement two weeks ago; it is truly the end of an era. l fell in love with her when my aunt took me to see "She Loves Me" when l was 12, in 1963. l have since seen her in concert in England and the US about 20 times. There is nobody else who will ever come close to the beauty of voice and skill at "acting a song" that this woman has.

YOU'RE THE TOP!!!!!!!!!!!! ( but i hate his BEARD !!!!!!!!!!!! )

LOL! Love every minute!

Beautiful 💕

Excellent.Oui.

a LEGEND, what strength, amazing lady and so strong, your a LEGEND Alberta, love ya.

Our love for you lives on forever dear Ella Fitzgerald!! :) XO :) Love you too, Burt Bacharach.

Magnificent!!

What an insulting question to Bayork. He put the slim in there. Love her confidence! Watched her put together several shows.

Judy Garland la mama de Liza

i remember when i heard her sing this song in the broadcast show- hadn't ever heard the song before--and I was smitten by the song and her rendition.

If you do not have the anesthetized heart you will not be able to sing blues with your soul and cry at the door of paradise.

Very good-- , Liza. You sound great-- a real tribute to yourself and your talented , lovely Mom. I wish I had been around when your mom was in her prime. My grandparents adored her and so did my mom and her sisters. Thanks so much for the upload.
