I would have been crying too if I'd been at the Hollywood Bowl that evening and heard Leslie sing this incredible song. Jerry Herman was completely bowled over.
Wow! What a great song, and what a great performer. You felt her anguish as she belted out the music. Leslie Uggams is my contemporary and all i want to say is "You go girl!"
I remember Leslie broke my heart in 1985 at the St. James Theatre during the NY run of JERRY'S GIRLS with this number. Sheer Brilliance.

I beg to differ. There are many voices like this today; they're all in New York - out of work. But I do respect your observation.

She's wearing the same dress her that she did when she sang the song at the Tony's.

A true belter, and a gorgeous performance. Her closing notes of "life" and "today" are absolutely stunning.

Her "Where?", "When?", "Was?" are so brilliantly performed. You think she really is looking for the answers.
