a classic scene from two of the most unknown yet most talented actor/actress, and I always knew Lea had a great voice, but wow, her voice brings you to your knees, she takes any song and makes it her own.. would have been even more amazing to have a bonus feature of Lea singing this on the christopher reeve boxset...thankyou so much for taking the time to upload this.. absolutely breathtaking
Who can forget such wonderful scene? One of my all time favor love scenes!! So romantic flying with your love one in the sky...Never dream of Lea's voice so match with this beautiful moment...My heart melts...
i'm hypnotized ,mesmerize by her lovely voice..its so captivating .you can't help yourself but to fall in love .she sang this song so beautifuly..no words can't described it..wow
barbara cook has that old raspberry voice and dying really..lea has smooth and comfort voice listen to barbara and lea u hear the differnent..great song BTW
I remember this scene from my childhood days. It's so magical and so romantic. I even looked out of the window wishing a superman would appear to make me for a flight! Those were the days when beautiful songs set the magical moments for the scenes.
Actually, in a way Christopher Reeve was Superman. Although he wasn't invincible to bullets, and he couldn't fly, he was a man of strong will. He never quit in spite of the adversity he faced. In the end he died, but he inspired us never to give up. We should all be as strong as him.
@DBarns7 I wish I had quart of the strength that christopher reeve had, as an actor and as a humanitarian, he was amazing, raising funds for special olympics even well before his accident, which is quite ironic, Christopher rve will always be superman, and not just in film but in life...and thankyou for such an amazing comment, thats why I had to reply, thankyou
There have been some comparisons between Lea's version and Regine's version. I think Lea has a better arrangement and her voice sounds better. She seems to be singing much fuller than Regine. This is just a beautiful song no matter who sings it.
UFO just in case you are in another galaxy..this shit that you are referring to is a world-class talent and Broadway artist. Winner of the Sir Laurence Olivier award and a Tony award winning actress..now if you don't know that since you are in another planet...that is the highest honor given to a stage actress...now WHO is Maureen Mcgovern?!
fyi, maureen mcgovern is the original recording artist of this very popular song 'can you read my mind', which was used in the 1978 movie starring christopher reeve. she's one of the most popular singers in the 70's with hits like 'the morning after'- poseidon adventures, and 'we may never love like this again'- towering inferno. also, very special love and we could have it all.
UFO... you are one ignorant person... pls keep your stupid comments to yourself... next time it would help to google people you are about to insult publicly, or you end up insulting yourself
wow. i never paid attention to the singer of this song whilst wathing this film, but i haven't seen this film in ages.i didn't know lea sings in this film
I was about to buy Maureen McGovern's version of this when I heard Lea's. OMG way superior!!!

Maureen McGovern is a CAREERLESS HAS-BEEN. She's got NOTHING on Lea Salonga.
