Mandy Patinkin - Coffee in a Cardboard Cup

[lenteach]

mandy is one amazing jewish guy and one amazing guy. just saw him on broadway with patti lupone and he is great. his voice is amazing- the range is unbelievable and his power is formidable. he is funny and makes you laugh and then, makes you cry. he is billy bigelow from Carousal,che from Evita, sings Some Enchanted Evening from south Pacific, and more. He is a real star, ad libs and talks to the audience,inspires Patti Lupone to her usual heights,they sing together,hug and kiss. what a show!!!

[angelmonsud]

I listen to his version almost every morning to get my day pumped up!! It always makes me dance and gets me in a better mood. He is the best!

[afufle]

I love this!!! Mandy, you the best!

[afufle]

Lol, Mandy you are so funny!

[Babyhowdy233]

I was rather shocked to find out about his health problems over the years because he has always seemed the very picture of health onscreen. He's had corneal transplants on BOTH eyes-his eyes were SO BEAUTIFUL in "Yentl" it never occurred to me he was actually beginning to go blind-and has also suffered from prostate cancer. Thank God he is fully recovered now.

[Hotch1561]

I love mandy's imitations! The one with the deep scratchy voice is cool

[Hotch1561]

I couldn't help but dance!! Mandy Is sooo talented!! I want to see him in concert sooooo badly!!!:(:(

[familycstar]

He reminds me of Al Jolson

[dathanfinch]

I love the look of pure joy on his face when the audience cheers for his little "street noise" bit. What a performer. They don't make them like this anymore.

[angelesmonsivais]

I was recently introduce to his music and its mind blowing!!! I don't know how I have missed him all my life!! Where have I been??? Probably listening to some trash music that is no worth my time or money :( Oh well!

Thanks for adding this videos, yet I wish there where more!! They are hard to find.

Do you by chance know where I can find a video for the song "Soliloquy"??

[rbccwong]

WOW!!! Incredible talent!

[hawaiidiver68]

i love this song, i love the way he performs it, it is just priceless. and everybody i show it to is amazed that this is the stoic agent gideon

[jesjesz1]

oh my god after watching him as gideon for sooo many years watching this is really weird.... but he's really good!

[ruebuscm]

Inigo Montoya went BUCK WILD on this joint.

[Rev1913Rev1916]

If Mandy Patinkin didn't have such a distinctive name, I'd never in a million years have realised this is the same guy that played Inigo Montoya. What magnificent talent.

[Takengo2008]

where the hell has this guy been all my life

[angelesmonsivais]

@Takengo2008 I know??? My boss recently introduce me to his music and I was thinking "Where has his been??" I'm literally obsessed with this guy!!

[poeticnerd1990]

what year was this!?

[library1900]

that was lovely! 

[broadwaybubbala]

WOW!!! He is so amazing!

[ChazzieBluzie]

ya gotta laff at this one, and he looks like he's having so much fun doing this.

[HanBOHobbit]

I freaking love Mandy so much! He's so talented.

I know I'm going to feel foolish for asking, but I really am scratching my head with this one: What IS THAT thing that he holds up at the end? That shiny metal box?

[AkiraRose]

@HanBOHobbit ya know i think it might be simulating coffee beans getting poured into a grinder.... gotta listen real close to hear things rolling around in there...

[HanBOHobbit]

@AkiraRose I heard the things rolling around originally...

Maybe you're right! I have no idea.

But his voice is pure gold, anyways.

[markcosborne]

@HanBOHobbit in the original recording the sound effects simulated a coffee shop - I think what he tried on stage here is rattling some silverware in a baking pan to do the same thing...I think; in any case, I've loved this song and the others on his 1989 album 'Mandy Patinkin' since I first bought it on cassette...now on my iPod

[HanBOHobbit]

@markcosborne Yes, I have the CD.

I also have "Dress Casual," "Kidults," and "Experiment."

Oh well. I figured that he's trying to simulate a coffee shop, I just wanted to see what ya'll thought.

Anyways...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANDY!!

[hawaiidiver68]

@HanBOHobbit because you mentioned them, i now own those 4 same cd's thanks so much i so enjoy them

[HanBOHobbit]

@hawaiidiver68 ME too! I love his voice. :D

[karinagw]

Let's try this again. Really late reply to tomsmith127, but the song is by Kander & Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret, Kiss of the Spiderwoman) originally written for the musical 70 Girls, 70 and then also used in a revue show of their songs called And The World Goes Round.

[girlfromhazleton53]

love his voice wonderful singer remember him on chicago hope and crimminal minds

[assmane999]

He's so freakin' talented!

[friendsfamilyaccount]

What fun! I saw him do this live at the Helen Hayes back in the 1990's - it's hilarious how he does all the voices! :D

[mroneoftheguys]

One of the greatest male voices to sing on Broadway and still he can be so funny and make it all such fun....Thanks Mandy....

[Nukemoose1]

Hard to believe thats Inigo Montoya

[deectalks]

He is just soooooo talented. What a voice.

[tomsmith127]

Is this off a musical?

Or just like a vaudville sort of play song?

[dancemakerz989]

I saw a demi-carachtar dance with this song its HILARIOUS!

[damechastain]

WOW!

[chofaigh]

i adore mandy, he has such a unique voice

[AgentsKatMar]

I love Mandy =D Always cracks me up to see him when he's singing..

[nomoneysonny]

his name is inego montoya; you killed his father; prepare to die.

[damechastain]

Yes!

[misterspiffy2008]

Where is this from?

[tatterdamelion]

Great Performances on PBS, 1989. I remember stumbling across it by accident almost 20 years ago, which was the first time I realized Indigo Montoya could sing. :D

[jljwoznica]

I think it is more like the singer can act :)

[luckygirl3a2]

I love it too!!! (Y)

[tommi86cz]

I love it :)
