i like her a lot, but she looks kinda like her and James Levine would made a good couple because their hair...and James Levine is a good conductor too.
she's class all the way -- notice how she lets the pianist show off his talent -- I saw her 30 years ago due to my voice teacher's recommendation -- if not for him I would never have known her -- bought two tickets and took my mom to see her I was still in High School 17 or so. Remember Cleo and James Galaway like it was yesterday at the Seattle Opera HOuse we were like in row 10 - on the floor it was marvelous!
This is a great performance but if you want to see something touching do a search on Barbra Streisand singing this at her 1994 concert in Las Vegas to her son Jason, it's a knockout.
Back around 1987 the Twin Cities Men's Chorus in Minneapolis used to do an arrangement of this tune in four-part mens voices that was luscious and sublime. Nice to hear this again... thanks!
I discovered Cleo Laine while I was in my 20s in the 80s. It is such a treat to find this song on video - it is my favorite of hers. Thanks for posting it!
Laine and Sondheim .. What a marriage!

I'm not a fan of Cleo Laine but I really like this version "Not while I'm around".
She sings it so warm, so tender.
Wonderful!

Cleo Laine is a friend of Dame Shirley Bassey. Cleo's birthday is some time next month. No doubt DSB will be attending the birthday festival.
