1776freak- Yes, she was married for about 9 years. Her husband was killed in an air crash- very sad. Her father's first name was Peter and that's where she got her stage name. At the time, Lazzaro was too ethnic. Anyway, she is truly an ASTOUNDING performer! Not only a great singer and dancer, but an incredible actress!

At the time, Lazzaro was too ethnic. Anyway, she is truly an ASTOUNDING performer! Not only a great singer and dancer, but an incredible actress!
She grew up in my neighborhood in queens just a few block from where I lived. Her name was Lazzaro. Her father owned a bread route and I would see his trucks dashing thru the neighborhood all the time. My friend Russell delivered the LI press to her house. She was a few years younger than me, I don't think she ever married. What a voice. What a beauty. She has discovered the fountain of youth.f
It's videos like this of Bernadette that make me so thankful for Youtube. This way I can listen to her goddessesque (I don't know if that is a word) whenever, and, someday when I have kids, I can show them videos like this and say, "That is what a talented singer and artist sounds like!"
I'm crazy about Bernadette Peters, our first lady of the theater. She sings this beautifully and is probably the only other female singer, I enjoy singing this song........And then, there's Johnny Mathis who blows it out of the park. But again, I love Bernadette Peters.
The first time i heard this song was many years ago at an AIDS benefit, and the singer was standing in front of a portion of the AIDS quilt. I find it incredibly sad for that reason.
wow! she has a beautiful voice! i've never heard someone who had such a unique voice...singers begin to sound alike these days, and hearing her voice made me feel relieved and reassured
She used to be Sssso HOT and Sexy! This is an old performance, shes much older now. I met her in Chicago about 10 years ago, in her forties I thought.
I just melt into my socks when I hear this... three more are from her self-titled album with the angelic portrait by Antonio Vargas: "If You Were The Only Boy (In The
World), "Other Lady" and "Only Wounded"
She, as well as her voice, is an enigma. As tender and sweet as a waif of a girl, and as arrestingly beautiful, supremely confident as a woman, she
can hopelessly captivate me, bringing me to tears
that fall like the rain, then mischievously make me
I was lucky enough to see her live at a concert in Va. She is a true performer in every sense of the word. I had front a row seat. She made laugh, smile and cry. I felt like she was singing just to me.
Probably one of the most beautiful and talented and funny women ever! She's a great singer. I just LOVE her to pieces! She's cute as a bug and I WANNA BE HER!!! WAAAH!!
lol~"...if you want to." ..It's nice to see when people give performers they can't stand, {and we know are wonderful;)}, a second chance, finding themselves--darnit!--pleasantly surprised!;)
