Barbara Cook nearing her eighties now I think... is still considered a singer's singer! Her presence on stage even nowadays is mesmerizing. She had the whole of the Sydney Opera House audience feeling breathless in wonder!

I couldn't agree with you more!

[Rusty Wolfe]

You're wrong - totally wrong for not pulling up Kristen Chenoweth's rendition.

[vaimusic]

Chenoweth's rendition is not a VAI product although I am sure it is quite lovely. The VAIMUSIC channel is exclusively for items published by VAI or distributed by them in the United States.

I am Crying.. Her Voice is So Very Beautiful.. I miss This Stuff.. More Love, and Kindness/ Romance/ Musicals.. is what the World Needs NOW!!

I am singing this for my singing exam, I have never loved a song so much in my life :)

[realpurpleplay]

I don't think it's necessary to criticize any of the four versions here! They're just different interpretations of the same song and all are entertaining!

Now i know why they choose Shirley Jones for the movie

[Brad Watson]

Just one of several movie roles that rightly should have gone to Barbara, but went to the terminally vanilla Shirley Jones. I mean, really, three for three. Shirley was/is many things, but she's not one who transcends material and/or genre. Barbara was that. I can't get enough of her actually ACTING this song to a Bell Hour chorus boy, after God-knows how many performances she'd already given opposite Robert Preston. Such a pro.

[SymphonyBrahms]

I love Kristin Chenoweth, but this song BELONGS to Barbara Cook. And Barbara did this song in the original Broadway production of the Music Man in 1959. The Beatles did a cover of the song a few years later. Barbara is the first to sing it and the best to sing it.

[Дмитрий Подшивалов]

Красиво поет.

Till there was you - The Beatles

[Melissa Warren]

The song was written for the musical. The Beatles did a COVER of it. Don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles, but this song was originally from the Music Man. Before you accuse someone of "ripping off" a song, get your facts straight.

[TheTolstoy111]

'The Music Man' ripped off this song from The Beatles.

Highly recommended: "Opening Night on Broadway" by Steven Suskin - "The Music Man" is on pp. 460-464.
