Tribute to Michael Crawford's Barnum - Colors of my Life

Back in 1981 it was a sensational musical at the Palladium - the TV version of 1986 is still one of my all-time favourites - I love every minute of it and often catch myself singing along :-) Can't help it.
BTW, January, 19 is Michael Crawford's Birthday. Happy Birthday, Michael !!! God bless you and GOOD LUCK with "The Wizard of Oz" ;-) !

Also thank you, AvidActor007, for the wonderful instrumental version of the song !

@Stepchild06 Thank you, by the way, "One Brick at a Time" is also another absolute favourite of mine from this musical (and "Join the Circus", and "Museum Song" too) :-P

@mazay83 You're welcome?

I Loved your singing- truly stunning

[theatrelady100]

Sorry for getting that wrong.

[mazay83]

@theatrelady100 You are absolutely right - the only visual version available is the one filmed 5 years later, in 1986, with a slightly changed cast. Thus, here is Eileen Battye as Mrs Charity Barnum (I love her performance - alas, I've never been able to see the original with Ms Grant, so can't really compare). As for the song used here it was sung by me as a tibute to this great show :-)
