I saw this exact clip on a local "Arts" channel about two years ago. I liked the performance, but it was late at night and I didn't write the woman's name down. I just ran across this through a link on another clip. What a find!

This woman is fantastic. She's better than I could recall. I'm so happy to rediscover her.

Eileen was one of the few divas who could truly "crossover", singing classical, opera, pop standards, the great American songbook, show tunes, you name it. This lady had it all! RIP.
