Whenever Groff does these slow quiet songs, he invariably brings tears of delighted joy. He's the first singer in my life to consistently have that effect, and I'm 72. It doesn't hurt to know he's also the most dearly sweet man personally. What a big heart!
He looks like he was maybe doing the Mindhunter filming around this time ? Looks just as good here as he does in that show, though does he ever not look good?!
Lovely. The song of course is one that Richard Rodgers wrote (both music and lyrics) for the movie of The Sound of Music; here it's framed by a long intro and short postlude referencing Irving Berlin's I Got Lost in his Arms, a great Groff favorite.
I miss Isaiah Sheffer. I used to listen to “Selected Shorts” on Saturday nights driving around when I had nothing better to do, which was often. I remember one time driving and hearing a familiar voice, transporting me with his inhabitation of a character in the selected short he was reading. It dawned on me that it was Leonard Nimoy, one of several times that he read for the program. I wish I could find the episodes again. A moment ago I stumbled across this interview of Leonard talking about Yiddish, and this connection he shared with Isaiah Sheffer. Here’s the interview: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9QAYvI5CC5s.html
It‘s always funny and cool to see people finding him through Mindhunter. I loved that show. It was amazing. But originally I got to know Jonathan through his musical carrer and through Lin Manuel Miranda which is why it‘s so normal to me to hear him sing😜
