KAY STARR in the UK 1983

Great moves, Kay! :D

Can't believe they had her singing descending a stairway with no way to grab a handrail. So disorienting to the performer and so dangerous. Kay, of course, was the equal of any situation and had the enormous gift of making even the most familiar song seem fresh, new and exciting.

I have to ask you a question...are you watching the same video as I? She holds onto a hand rail all the way down.

[waynebrasler]

@billebrock That's actually not a handrail but a decorative banister.  It is placed high and hard to grasp onto gracefully. Usually in this kind of stage setting there is a substantial lower banister placed unobtrusively that can be easily grasped if the performer loses his or her balance. Coming down that kind of decorative staircase with bright lights flooding your eyes can be distracting and disorienting in a setting that to the audience looks elegant and sophisticated.

thanks for that review...I see otherwise.

The wonderful Kay Starr looking and sounding fabulous! This video demonstrates why Kay's star has sparkled for many a decade. Thank you so very much Starrman22.
