Wow, thank you for posting this. I love this album and always wanted more. I didn't think she ever publicly talked about it in interviews either. Where did the song Carrie come from?

Who is the composer of this song? She was a treasure

Just "discovering" her now. A girl from Long Island for whom going into the city to see a show was a rare and glorious event back in the 70's, 80's and 90's. I'm going to love every minute and every note that Ms. Beechman left behind.

Laurie is the single most phenomenal influence on my musical life that I've ever enountered. And i think about her every day. This is such a beautiful and special new post! Even in her most intimate moments, Laurie sang with her entire being. She was no mere singer, she really was something entirely full. She gave a part of herself every time she performed.

Oh that voice !!!!!

So lovely…… Hearing her sing again, Always wraps her love around my heart, Gentle tears filled my eyes, and a montage of her circles, my brain……

She could surely sing. Was crazy about her voice! I first fell in love with her at the Entermedia Theater when she was the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat during which she blew the roof off of the place. Later, I was lucky to sub on the Rodgers and Hammerstein revue, "Some Enchanted Evening" directed by Jeffrey Moss, choreographed by Barbara Siman Strouse, musical direction by Larry Hochman with a cast of Ernestine Jackson, Marty Vidnovic, Lauren Mitchell and Laurie. She absolutely killed on "I Have Dreamed" as a belt ballad. And I subbed for her once to do a concert at Jim Wilhelm's request (Jim loved Laurie as much as Richard Jay-Alexander did) somewhere not too far from NYC. What a treat and pleasure it was to play a whole evening for her. When I was learning Cats, she was Grizabella on Broadway. She came by the orchestra box and said, "Well, I don't think I have but about 800 more of these in me." She was one talented, vibrant, passionate lady. She is greatly missed. Fortunately and happily, she was well-recorded by David Friedman so we can listen to her even though she has transitioned.

My days are brighter when Laurie appears in my UA-cam feed. Thank you for never letting her precious memory fade.

This is a beautiful! I was there back in ‘95. I met Laurie backstage at the Keswick eight years earlier.

Beautiful!!! Makes me cry!!!!

Miss Beechman left this world 25 years ago after a brave battle with ovarian cancer.

that's like a temporal capsule but very nice tho

this too is cool

this is cool

The most exciting 60 seconds in musical theater. Man, she’s great.

Damn, I miss Laurie….gone way too soon…

One of my all time favorite singers- RIP and a great song from Hunchback too❤

She understood dynamics probably better than any singer I've ever seen. Just absolutely brilliant in where she chooses to pull back so that the big notes have more impact. Thank you for posting this...

Thank you!

Her gift , the most beautiful!!! Glorious!!! Crying!!

It is hard to believe, but Miss Laurie Hope Beechman entered heaven's portals 25 years ago after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer. She was only about 44 or 45, but left this world far too soon..

I REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL, JOEY SCARBURY FOR THE CRAZY FUN TV SHOW GREATEST AMERICAN HERO. COMP BY MIKE POST, WORDS BY STEPHEN GEYER.. LAURIE BEECHMAN NAILED THIS ONE. SINGING FOR WEBBER,. SHE HAD TO BE MORE THAN JUST A GOOD VOICE. SORRY TO SEE SHE PASSED SO YOUNG. 45 IS TOO SOON.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful ❤❤❤

This one is so special, it's a real Beechman favorite, so rare.

So funny and touching. Even through the humor, Laurie sounds like a million bucks. And especially NYC, something we never heard again besides here I believe (besides Annie itself)

Laurie was fantastic. And even through the humor she sounds better than anyone else I've ever heard.

This is wonderful!!! Remembering her wild sense of humor on her birthday!!!

It saddens me to know that I DIDN'T know Laurie existed until...well..she didn't. I have been a fan of musicals for DECADES and involved in local productions for over 40 years. She obviously was a super talented lady!

Wonderful❣️

really?

I’m not sure why Laurie said she’s from Philadelphia. I went to school with her in South Jersey.

The bar. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Cats was an awful show. I

I knew Laurie in high school. She always had great talent.

I knew Laurie in high school. We all expected great things from her. She didn’t disappoint.

What wonderful memories I have of those Ballroom concerts I had the pleasure of doing with Laurie. The first one started as two weekends and ended up being extended 14 weeks. You're posted Believe It Or Not and now You've Got Me. Do you happen to have the films of the whole concerts? I would love to see them.

What a lovely memory. We were supposed to do two Friday and Saturday nights after our "Joseph &..." performances and it turned into 14 sold out weekends. This is Laurie at the height of her powers. It's wonderful to remember her this way.

I went to high school with Laurie. We knew she would be a star.

THANK YOU Laurie you will always BE A STAR !!🙏💛

So touching, so magical! And when one is gifted with an ability to actually deeply feel what the words are saying, and bring us along on her journey, it shows us that she didn't have to always use that powerful voice to draw us into her world of music! She was an artist that painted the most fabulous pictures! *smiles*

Thanks for uploading Linda's performances. Never got a chance to see her in person. But I can imagine how she would hold an audience in the palm of her hand. I used to listen to her everyday on my walks around a reservoir. How I loved listening while walking. Never got tired of that beautiful voice!

I play this every year on the beach. I lost the copy I had and now I have this! It's such a beautiful song to play while j watching the waves and nature.

One of the most beautifully tender live songs Laurie did. Like the production stage manager once told me who taught her Fantine for the tour and Bway "she was way down there on the stage of the Broadway theater and I was up in the spotlight booth, but you felt she was singing ONLY to you, it was that intimate."

Really beautiful!

i haven't seen this in years. Oh my heart!

RIP, Laurie. Too young to go.

It's sad that Nancy LaMott and Laurie Beechman, who are both known for this song, died within a little over two years of each other, in their early mid 40s, of uterine and ovarian cancer, respectively.

Wonderful song sung by Laurie and great review by Stewart Klein. Thanks for sharing

What a loss to all of us. Laurie had a beautiful voice & so much talent.
