Make the Man Love Me! - Barbara Cook

Amazing song from the 1951 show, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." Ms. Cook was not in this production, but her rendition is lovely.

I saw her last night in Sondheim on Sondheim. When she came out the audience wouldn't stop applauding. She sang Send in the Clowns.

@adelgado75 You're one lucky soul! I haven't seen her live in more than 20 years. Thank you so much for your message. Wish I'd been there!!

Having seen her in Music Man in 1957 it is difficult to believe that she still has the range at 80 plus. I love listening to her. Bravo to us 80 year olds..........

[varadero1839]

Bravo to you! I've only seen her in the late 80s in a small club in San Francisco; she was amazing! My best friend was a "gypsy" in the original NY show of "She Loves Me!" She was crazy about Ms. Cook!

A fabulous voice performing one of the best torch songs ever written! Thanks for posting.

[varadero1839]

You're welcome! Hearing Ms. "C" at any stage of her career still gives me chills; she's amazing!

There is no better singer living or dead than Barbara Cook. And this shows what she does best. thank you. Her long time, but recently parted, musical arranger Wally Harper is accompanying her on the piano. There's was a legendary collaboration. Truly beautiful music.

[Houndentenor1998]

She's one of my favorite singers of all time.

[Crwthy]

Stunningly, heartbreakingly, beautiful. Every word, every note, .. Perfect. Yes, she is peerless!

[oldgypsytap]

The lady has no peer.....

She is quite extraordinary. I was to join her at a charity dinner last monday evening but wasn't feeling well so I had to bow out. As an ex-singer myself I can tell you what her vocal cords produce at her age is indeed rare.

My wife and I heard Barbara and Wally Harper in NYC at the Carlyle Hotel dozens of times. She was great in the small room with about 60 people, just as she has been recently in NY singing solo with the Metropolitan Opera and with the NY Philharmonic orchestra, and now in her 80's, with a voice that only miraculously gets better and better!
