From www.SethRudetsky.com. This is the original "Brotherhood of Man" from HOW TO SUCCEED...vs, the 90's revival. It's been sassed up by Ted Sperling featuring the unbelievable talents of Lillias White. The musicality, the girl-like quality, the fast vibrato, the phrasing, the fluid riffs...I can't take it!

  • NO WAY!! i was just listening to this song THIS MORNING thinking "ugh what a great deconstruction this would make!!!" slides reminiscent of Mamma Will Provide "ooOOH WALK WITH ME LITTLE GIRL...." um what else do i love about this? oh at like 4:05 on the first riff, she goes amazing chest voice - deep low growl - gorgeous head voice. PERFECTION!! Right at like 4:50 in the song she busts out a double sylable "oh arent you per-oud to be" hahaha ive thought this through so many times haha

  • YES! Totally forgot to point out the double syllable...thanks for spotting it!!!!

    xoxo

  • I'm not sure what's more brilliant, Lillias White or your deconstruction of her brilliance.

  • As fantastic as this deconstruction is, your facial expressions make it even more fantastic. Love it!

  • I don't understand with this brilliant Sperling arrangement, why the current revival goes back to the boring original version.

  • This was WONDERFUL! I'm obsessed w/ Lillias White but I think I've also found a new soul mate in YOU, Seth! xoxo.

  • You should teach this in a college class! Nice deconstrunction.

  • I was sooo glad to find her performance from BoM on here since I had lost my taping of the Tony awards. I love Lilias and her sweet smile and beautiful eyes. Oh yeah what a voice too. I loved her in the South Pacific concert at Carnegie Hall too. Thanks Seth!

  • @zbandnerdz Lillias WHite is the main soloist in Zero to Hero, so it's possible

  • I am now completely obsessed with Lillias White as well

  • Those blue notes sound like the beginning of "Zero to Hero" from HERCULES!

  • i worship at the altar of rudetsky. anyone who uses the word "sassafrass" as a verb is top notch in my book. when are they going to start having a show on the ovation channel (or logo or whatever) that's like an olympics broadcast with sports commentators, but instead of skiing or figureskating, it's seth commentating on amazing singers.

  • 8:56 :L:L

  • Lillias = fierce!
