Absolutely Elizabeth. I was being flippant when I said she pulled it out of her ass. This is probably the best version I have ever heard. The truth is that her voice coupled with larry's amazing harmonica playing is just perfect.
@Myrddin1975 right. Larry Adler made a joking comment. She laughed. It wasn't a 'notion'. From a joking comment, this guy made the flat out statement that Mr. Adler: 'did marry her eventually'. Wha??? Surely a 10 second Google search would have revealed all. Trouble is people would prefer to spread nonsense instead of checking the actual facts. And OLEta didn't 'pull this' performance from anywhere other than her totally consummate professionally prepared soul. She's just brilliant, as is he.
I’ve been looking for years, tried talking with BBC….fail. I’m in Australia and the show was aired on our national broadcaster but again, fail. It’s one of the very greatest docos on music that i’ve ever seen and such a shame it seems lost.
The song belongs to the album “The glory of Gershwin” where Larry Adler plays together with different singers: Oleta Adams, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Chris the Burgh, Sting, Lisa Stansfield,Elvis Costello, Carly Simon, Cher, Kate Bush, Jon Bon Jovi, Meat Loaf, Robert Palmer, Sinead O’Connor,… An absolute amazing disc that worth to buy and listening. In RU-vid you’ll find a quite all the songs
