Several months ago I uploaded an audio/photo version of this beautiful performance by Johnny of this film noir classic. I'm pleased to be able to share this live performance, sung on the special on The Songs of Johnny Mercer, 1997. Also performing were Melissa Manchester, Margaret Whiting and John Pizzerela.
** Johnny's pianist, and now conductor, John Scott Lavender- plays this so beautifully as well!
You can find "Laura" on the CD : The Music of Johnny Mathis : A Personal Collection, from 1994. A wonderful (wonderful!) 4 disc set well worth owning.
