Could I Leave You? - Lee Remick - Follies

[Geo789C]

This a broadway song as wrote by Maurice Ravel. I love it.

This woman had a talent that was surprising to many people. The key of this song was raised for her, such was her formidable vocal range. It's been rumoured that Sondheim and Lee Remick were very, very close friends, and I can believe that. If nothing else, Sondheim was, I'm sure delighted with her rendering of this terrific song.

We love you, Lee!

This is one of my favorite performances of any song ever.

I mean who the hell knew that Lee Remick could sing? And not just sing, but deliver such a beautiful rendition of this number. I guess she was about 50 here. She about six years after this, much too early. Would have loved to have seen what roles she would've been doing had been around longer.

God Lee Remick was SOOOOO lovely. She left this world way too early. I love these Sondheim concerts because it's so fascinating to see these actresses singing/performing these wonderful (and, as any Sondheim afficionado (sp?) knows, very difficult to sing) songs. Many of these actresses, whose film careers were essentially over or waning--Glynis Johns, Yvonne DeCarlo, Alexis Smith, to name a few, were given the wonderful opportunity to showcase talents no one ever knew they had!

Beautiful and talented..that was Lee....RIP darling:)

To me, this is the best version of "Could I Leave You," including the ones of Dee Hoty, Donna Murphy & Blythe Danner--the latter two having seen live. Granted, I adored Lee Remick. She was a fabulous actress.

Thanks for posting! What a treasure we lost her so early.

Ms remick looks great...however; her voice lacks a depth that carol Burnett has...

[axelfUK]

Heard this today on Elaine Paiges` Radio 2 show, so had to check it out...

Absolutely brilliant!!! As dannybex has already noted, I didn`t realise the lady could

sing so well. I personally wouldn`t know if this was a key higher... I have the musical ability of a soapdish :-(

[toddmelissa]

Sondheim is incredibly hard to sing most of the time, and Lee NAILED this!! Plus she looks amazing to boot! :)

[dannybex]

Surprisingly good voice. I had no idea she sang so well...

[gregorvonkallahann]

Check out Lee's clips from DAMN YANKEES also on YouTube. Also very good. Sure Gwen Verdon had it over her in the dance dept., but Lee sang better (imo), and was so SEXY as Lola she could have probably could have gotten a rise out of Troy Donahue.

@gregorvonkallahann "...she could have probably could have gotten a rise out of Troy Donahue."

What nonsense is this? Troy Donahue was gay! How could she gotten a ri-

Oh...now I get it.

"Nnever mind"

[AtLastOnTheGround]

Lee's wonderful.

And this is a key higher than the original, right?

[TheLEGENDS1973]

my God its Katherine Thorn signing!..LOL

Thank you! This is the best version ever - perfect timing, emotions are spot-on. Merci!
