  • So charming and at age 74! I heard Pons sing "Estrellita" in her last public appearance on The Merv Griffin Show two years later and it was beautiful.

  • I agree, she sang "Estrellita" in this concert also. Charming is a great word to sum it up. I also have interviews with her done before this concert.

  • @dermotafan that's ok. what are musical fans for but to comfort each other as we listen to music such as this? I lost my mother to cancer too--shitty way to go--sorry for my 'french'--in the mean time lets feel better and listen to this great artist. hope you are feeling better!

  • The most incredible ever! Charming :)

  • @weightfeather1 Heredity is part of the picture--it claim the lives of all of Jimmy Carter's siblings. There is also a possible or probable link to the chemical C2H5OH, if you are talking about chemicals. (That, by the way, is the chemical symbol for Alcohol, and yes, Patrick Swayze had issues with alcohol).

    

  • Oh wow- she most certainly does NOT sound her age with those beautiful glissandos..

  • Oh, that Griffin appearance! I have it on audio tape. There was just the slightest wobble in the voice at one point. Otherwise she sound vigorous, youthful and drenchingly lovely. Her "Estrellita" could make the devil cry, I'm sure.

  • Fabulosa.

  • Truly amazing - consummate charm and grace, and musically everything is there perfectly! Thank you

  • wow! more voice at 74 than most opera singers at 30 today.

  • @dermotafan Bless your heart, honey. I'm so sorry for your loss.

  • this is amazing for a coloratura at the age of about 74. wow! thanks for the posting
