listening to this west end wendy desecrating the memory of the isley's version is marginally less painful than having your teeth drilled without anaesthetic.
She's adorable. I saw this on Broadway years ago, and she literally did not stop moving the whole time she was on stage, just dancing along to everything. what energy!
@chloboandamo This is the original Broadway cast -- all of whom stayed with the show for its entire run. This particular video is part of the final Broadway performance. Almost all of that performance is on YouTube, in fragments -- do a search for "Smokey Joe's Cafe Broadway."
Her name is DeLee Lively, and I wonder why we haven't seen her in anything else since Smokey Joe closed. Great dancer, reasonably good singer -- you'd think another show would snap her up.
@doctorjoee reasonably good singer? are you serious? she is a fantastic singer, just because she is not black and doesn't have that kind of soul in her does not mean she is a "reasonbly good singer"...that's just stupid
@aquest4u Ad hominems have no place on this forum, or any other forum. If you disagree, just say you disagree. But your opinion holds no more weight than anyone else's.
@aquest4u I couldn't agree more with the reply to your comment. DeLee would be the first to tell you that dancing is her strong suit. Ask any voice coach about her singing. Then listen carefully to the answer, and learn.
If ANYONE has the sheet music for this song, can you tell me where I can get my hands on it (it's not in the songbook) or can you add me on here so we can exchange emails and perhaps send it that way, I am willing to pay, if that helps!
beautiful. absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

She's insanely good at shimmy. I can kind of shimmy, but the way she changes speeds so rapidly BLOWS my mind.
