- Here's a rare audio of Patti singing "Memory". Yes it's not a typo - I'm referring to THAT hit song from the musical Cats. I don't know when or where she sang this; all I know is that it happened. I don't know who sang the part of the "other cat" either. Anyone? Kindly post a comment if you can share any info on this recording...
This is for you, Max. Enjoy! ;)
How can people say this is not Patti it's so clearly her - with all the little lupone-isms. The build up to 'Touch Me' is vintage Patti, especially the way she sings 'as the dawn is breaking' - no one else on the face of this earth would sing 'dawn' in the way that Patti does
I can now die in peace.I always wanted Patti LuPone to sing Memory. Now that I have heard it, I can die peacefully.
Excellent rendition but I saw Betty Buckley sing live at the Winter Garden in late 1982. This does not compare to hearing Betty sing it live on stage. Her voice was so resonant and powerful,it seemed to cut through the air like a knife. I'll never forget that thrilling experience.
How can anyone think that this isn't Patti LuPone? It's pretty obvious.
Those signature vowels!
This 100% Patti.
This is obviously Patti, she just sounds young here. Thanks again KateBushFanatic for an amazing clip!!!
Patti filled in for like one night in the tour of The Music of ALW in the early 90s, I think Sarah Brightman or Michael Crawford got sick or something. The Tell Me On A Sunday on YT is from the same. I have a tape somewhere that also has Anything But Lonely, I Don't Know How To Love Him and Take That Look Off Your Face.
Ben Rimalower Please can you upload the other tracks you mentioned from the tape? That would be fantastic, as is this.
Such a monumental song sung by a monumental artist! Thank you very much!
she was the best!
It's Patti just listen to ..."... the street lamp dies on..." gives it away
Gulp...gasp...goodness....that was terrific. With a clearer quality, minus that other singer, this would be a definitive version of the song. Amazing she wasn't asked to do this on Broadway right after her Evita triumph.
Tbh, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was asked and quickly declined. Even Buckley admits Grizzebella is a small part and only onstage for 13 minutes a show.
Plus the end. And the way she says some of her vowels. Typical Patti Lupone.
The next interviewer to talk to Ms. LuPone ought to ask about this video. This clearly is her or perhaps a gifted, unidentified impressionist (in which case brava to her!).
If this had been the first time I had heard this song I probably would have loved it. However it isn't and Betty Buckley has ruined it for all others who have come after her. No one can touch her vocals with this piece. Do love Patti Lupone too, though.
My cousin and I had chills while watching (on tv) Ms Buckley singing Memory on the Tony Awards. I can’t imagine how much more amazing watching her then on the theater!
This must be from before she hated ALW and dissed all of his music
@Street Rat In 1994 when he didn’t give her the Broadway run of Sunset Boulevard, although her contract stated that she will play Norma Desmond on Broadway. Also no one told her personally, she read about it in the papers.
Ye, that was kinda shady what he did! Patti was so much better in the role! Glenn could never!
yea she just confirmed this in Andy Cohen that she was "one of them" as Cats. When asked what Broadway show was overrated to which she answered "cats!!!.... and I was one of them".
I'm in Lupone Heaven
she was 42 here
this does sound like Patti, but where could she have sung it?
She filled in for Sarah brightman for one night on the national tour of the Music of ALW :)
HAHA, but it definitely IS Patti.
OMG!!!! Patti as Grizabella, this NEEDS to happen!! Revival, anyone?
This is obviously the real deal.
This is definitely Patti Lupone. Not a smidgen of doubt.
My question, though: Why is the singer who sings that little part before the " Touch Me!' climax always so lame??? ;-)
This is def not Patti LuPone. I think it might be Justin Bieber.
It’s definitely Patti, but the tape speed is a little too fast, distorting her sound a bit.
It’s Patti all right, but the tape is running a bit too fast, distorting her sound
Is this really her ?
LMAO
Not sure this is Patti - too much vibrato lets ask Seth?
ummmm yeah this is def patti
Not even a question.
this is just wrong somehow
The tone is too bright, even for young Patti. The phrasing sounds wicked close but I swear this isn’t her.
see exactly. had the same thought. the slight possibility that it’s the old camera but still.
I have reason to believe that that is Laurie Beechman singing Memory. That sounds way too much like her.
Wrong again... Beechman has bulked vibrato... much faster and she played the part much later.
What in the hell were you smoking when you came up with that idea
This is Betty Buckley!
You must be deaf.
Sorry- it’s not Patti Lupone. I wish it were but it’s not.
The way she says some vowels and scoops some words is exactly like how LuPone sings, maybe it sounds different cuz she is young here
It may be bloody, but it's bloody awful.
she cant touch Heather Headley
Who would want to? Heather’s version stinks.
This is NOT Patti Lupone!!!!! When was she in Cats??? This is a live Cats performance.
No it’s not 😂 it’s a concert of Andrew Lloyd Webber that Patti filled in for... this isn’t the orchestration for CATS... 100% Patti. Betty Buckley doesn’t not swoop like that.
@DJJ 100%
You guys I'm telling you this is not Patti lol, there are some tonal things that sound similar but it is for sure not Lupone, listen to the quality of the voice. I'm almost positive this is Betty Buckley, she has that signature quick flutter in her voice, her vibrato is much faster and lighter.
100% Patti Lupone. No question.
This sounds like Susan Boyle tbh
no.
I think that this might be Betty Buckley
This is NOT Patti.
I agree ... it's all over the place ... and the diction ...
+Tommy Browne Right. So...Patti then?
@@mikeywooster 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I am almost sure it´s BETTY BUCKLEY singing. Definitely it´s not Patti.
It's definitely not Betty Buckley. I'm a big fan of hers. Perhaps Broadway, late great Laurie Beechman.
then you’ve never heard Betty Buckley sing, or you’ve never heard patti sing.
This is definitely not Betty.
