Yes, she sure was in Cats, Chess, Evita, almost everything on West End! Absolutely magnificent. This is the definition of singing, this is the standard!
@audaciousuk Very true! Still love Elaine, but it is just impossible for her to push her voice in the way she used to. C'est la vie. It's great to have the recordings, but I have heard very few singers since who have been able to sing the showtunes she's recorded/performed with quite the same dynamic vocal as her.
@audaciousuk I rather disagree with you. Yes, her voice is rather deeper..but in some certain songs I prefer her sound now. I believe her voice has aged very well. Afterall, she is 62 years young and that voice has really had a work out for 40 plus years. I absolutely think she is wonderful! This is probably one of the best performances of this song.
