  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • @rogerelizabethdubrie

    Plus the end. And the way she says some of her vowels. Typical Patti Lupone.

  • @misplacedstoic

    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.

      @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.

    My question, though: Why is the singer who sings that little part before the " Touch Me!' climax always so lame??? ;-)

      Wrong again... Beechman has bulked vibrato... much faster and she played the part much later.

    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.

      then you’ve never heard Betty Buckley sing, or you’ve never heard patti sing.
