Lotte, with this you own this song. It is yours forever for eternity.

Not only is it a great song to listen to, but it is technically very difficult...I am learning it and it is not easy to breathe on lol

Fabulous Jason! I want to see video of you singing this to Karen! Keep on jazzin'!

I wish I could go back in time.

Almost as sentimental and touching as the other nostalgic Once Upon a Time song.

I am absolutely crazy about him. Holy cow he was gorgeous.😍😘

Superb, heartfelt performance.

Proud to call this my first (off off) Broadway show. I was much too young to see it … but that was a different (and good) time.

I saw this at age 12! The last time I saw Micki Grant was at my late cousin’s memorial services in 2016.

Yeah...now the IDF start their full scale ground invasion in Rafa. These people, so happy - who spread this half baked truth...Israel never agreed ( they wont be stopped in their final solution I think it is horrific to fool the suffering people.

Proof that not even Cole Porter could get away with literally anything (this lyric surely is being sung to an exotic lady, but what a lazy business). Illuminating and welcome, so thank you for these recordings!

And to think next year will be the 50th anniversary of this glorious show opening on Broadway! 1975-2025.🎉

Here for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Century: 1910. I think the songstress in the novel depicted Lotte Lenya. Searching for her original version to verify....

Wonderful. I have missed hearing the ORIGINAL Original Cast Recording! Thanks.

It's wonderful to hear it. To my ears, it's how the song should sound...

The performance is GREAT but the Blitzstein translation is CRAP! God give me Mannheim/Willett!

Just found the NYT review of the original and Walter Kerr absolutely ripped her to shreds. It must have been devastating for her to read!

I absolutely loved her in Benson as Gretchen Kraus. What a beautiful performance and delightful voice. I had no idea she was a singer as well. Rest in Peace Ms. Swenson.

Fabulous!

This was my go-to while studying theatre at SUNY Purchase in 1980. Beautiful and lyric, passionate and so sad...

NO ONE sang that score as beautifully as Ms. Swenson. Thank goodness we have it recorded. RIP talented lady!

This is Gregg Baker, not Ira Hawkins.

Stubby Kaye, of course. Not exactly Rockin the Boat but i think that was the idea !

can you not have your heart beat so close to the microphone

Of course, she won the Tony for this musical.

He sings well, but where is the desperation?

This is an incredibly beautiful and moving song. Eddie Fisher's 1954 popular version, at a slower tempo, is my favorite.

As you notice she don’t have those ear monitors in her ears but people fail to realize they was singing their songs off of a TELEPROMPTER

Nice.

They cheat right off the bat, so, no.

DIVINA MÚSICA . LA HE CANTADO EN MUCHOS DE MIS RECITALES .

it’s an old play yes but I wish there was footage to watch of it

Wunderbar....immer

one artistic genius

Found the song by reading Bob Dylans book.

I find it very "weird" in that my only context for Lotte Lenya was in the role of Rosa Kleb! So, it is a bit "weird" to see Spectre's number 3 on stage singing!

Canta mal

this song is way too good and adult for a Little Rascals musical...

The best performance I have seen of this so far, even if the words are a bit different. They work better

Love this album 💕💕💕💕

I prefer thapt it be sung in german It is good but loses somethind in the translation.

What a wonderful talent, and a wonderful song.

Magnificent lyric soprano!

Wonderful

Pirate Jenny marine faithful

My favorite song while I was college ❤

Wow. Just finished watching most of the Benson series, and it is just a phenomenon to see how she began. Incredible talent.
