RARE Barbara Cook Stars
Вставка

- Never before on UA-cam. Barbara Cook singing Janis Ian's "Stars," from the 1980 PBS broadcast "An Evening with Barbara Cook," with Wally Harper, musical director. Taped around the time of Cook's second appearance at Carnegie Hall and the release of her second Carnegie Hall album, "It's Better with a Band," the broadcast featured much the same program as the concert and album. It was long regarded as an example of Cook in her vocal prime. The concert was never released on VHS, laser or DVD, and all that remains are recordings like these, videotaped from broadcast.

Upon hearing of the great lady's death, this was the first of her performances to which I turned. Sublime and transcendent.
Wow, what can one say. This song really touches close to home I think. She sings it like she feels every single word.
This is infinitely tender and touching. Such a star
THANK YOU for uploading this. Absolutely the best and a privilege to hear.
Wow. How can I have lived my whole life without having heard her excellent voice? She deserves the abundant praise I read online (just a few minutes ago), but somehow she managed to sail under my radar until now. My loss! She's a favorite with me from now on.
How does she do it? How does Babara Cook find the perfect interpretation of someone's song? Her gifts are prodigious..and I love them, and I weep from their beauty and their skill and their gifts....I adore her...and I've seen her so many times .a...and I always cry during the performance...what a genius she is
I just posted the whole concert.
Perfectly said, David. She brings me to tears too. An American treasure!
David Ritchkoff You put this into words beautifully..this song always makes me cry..so much depth
I still get shivers when I hear Barbara Sing "Stars." I don't believe anyone other than the incredible Janis Ian have made "Stars" one of the most thought provoking songs ever written.
I saw Barbara Cook sing this in London, it was flawless.
Astounding, singular artistry. She is one of a kind.
Never get tired of watching this..such beauty.
Amazing voice and stunning interpreter of a lyric. When I was younger,
I found a used album in a record store. It was Barbara Cook's album Here
And Now. The album is beautiful and I got hooked. But this simple story song
is what made me adore her gifts. I've been seeing her ever since, Heard all her
great songs but this remains the song that changed the way I looked at any singer after.
She is a singing treaure. Bravo, sweet lady of song. Thank you for posting this gem.
I have followed Barbara Cook since I saw her at the Carousel Room at the Copley Plaza in Boston. I've gone to every concert I could and have listened to every recording - own them all. She is absolutely the best in every way, I hope someone posts Ain't love Easy and SIng a SOng With Me. Thank you, Mitch for this posting Barbara and with the incomprable Wally at the piano - superb!
She. Is. The. Best.
my favorite Barbara Cook song
Wow she LOOKS fabulous, not that it matters that much. What does matter is how she sounds and what she sings, and this was one of the greatest matches between material and her luminous talent. Just stunning, almost beyond belief. I was lucky enough to have seen her perform not too long after the relase of the As of Today album. She sang Billy Joel's New York State of Mind, which she never recorded. She also sang this and Candlelight, both by Janis Ian. Thanks for posting!!
Absolutely extraordinary. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift.
AMAZING - Happy 85th Birthday, Barbara - thanks for so much!
This is how to tell a story in song .... with a voice like no other. Stunning - with Wally Harper at the piano. Geez!
God!!! too good for words!!
I was lucky to see this amazing lady in concert in London in the 1980s - still remember it like it was last week.
She makes love to a song.
incredible
BY FAR my favorite thing Ive ever heard her sing
that was absolutely divine
She is the real thing. A clear and true voice. The classic stage delivery and presence with appropriate pitch and volume. She just opens her mouth and out it comes. Thanks for this.
I wish this whole concert was available. I saw her do this concert in person in a small theatre in the LA area (at UCLA) and then remember the broadcast. Sadly, I did not have VCR then to record. This truly captured her at the peak of her form as a concert/cabaret artist (and she had slimmed a little and looked great as well).
just spectacular, both the performance and the writing
THANK YOU !!!!! We just can't get enough of Barbara Cook... the supreme performer!!
One of the greats, and what a career!
Fantastic...this is 'holy grail' stuff, and I thank you for sharing it with us.
Superb! TY.
Ah....her voice is like spun glass : )
Gorgeous
RIP Ms. Cook.
@GuinnevereB Did you see the tribute to her on the Kennedy Center Honors last week? If not, look it up here on UA-cam.
This is delightful - thanks for taking the time to transfer this and post it!!
Wow! This was a concert at KCET in L.A., around 1987. I know. I was there!
goosebumps
Thank you for posting - another amazing performance
Thank you so much for uploading this.
Bless this Stars share.
@booglas69 Now we have competing claims that it was a concert in Hartford, in LA and at the Kennedy Center.
