Thanks for finding and posting this!! I've waited 34 years to hear this performance from the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson once again. I remember it like yesterday, even the slight break in her voice at 1:06. I was so excited when the Plaisir d'Amour album was released and had a 1961 recording of Sills singing Estrellita with Andre Kostelanetz conducting. If you don't own this CD, go out and find one, it is one of my favorites.

Sills was taught to sing this by Estelle Liebling her mentor;Lit's a beautiful and sad Spanish song about a woman who is dying and making a wish to a star. Sills sang this aria in many recitals as a tribute to her mentor.

I am in heaven after listening to this. THANKS for posting this. It is as if this was written for the "line" of her voice. Her technique of holding these notes in the upper register is without peer. The emotions she imparts with Estrelitta are JUST as they should be. THis is a gift that Sills perfected! BRAVA DIVA! We miss you!!!

That's legendary Tonight Show guitarist Bob Bain playing with her. Before the show, she was evidently very tired from traveling and not sure she would even perform, had done no rehearsal , and all Bob knew was that IF she sang it would be Estrellita in the key of F. A little pressure?

Sublime! I grew up listening to Sills. She has made such an impact in my life and choice of music. I miss her dearly.
