I still can’t believe David Letterman posted this for me ❤ I’m honored that the story of my father has made it this far.

Fun fact: There was a followup performance on August 18, 1989, when Paul had since learned and was now fully prepared to play the full introduction with Mandy.

@fermata5694 3 месяца назад

Yes it's an amazing and beautiful performance, but you can't believe this was impromptu. It's called show business for a reason 🤣🤣

@prmaninla 3 месяца назад

@@fermata5694 I don't know... I know a lot of the shows are scripted, but this is old-school Letterman and certainly doesn't look like it to me. Just the way that Paul reacts, that he doesn't know the bridge to SOTR, etc. These are pros after all.

@dancalkins97 3 месяца назад

My two cents: Paul didn't know exactly what was going on at the beginning and the end, and Mandy directed him with verbal cues and his right hand. He'd probably heard Mandy sing the middle part before where he rushes and goes up on the final "Somewhere...". Mandy also generally sings it in a higher key. I wouldn't be surprised if they did that on the fly.

@capsfan3940 3 месяца назад

This is posted because some young women lost her father a few days ago and this specific performance was so special to them both. She reached out to Mandy to thank him for this and apparently Mandy talked to her and apparently Dave left a message also somehow, but I have not seen that.

An extraordinary voice and a well trained instrument capable of keeping high and low notes with the proper resonance.Many singers don’t ever get passed the initial melody 🎵 There is the rest of the aria which allows the squiggle which you here after the words .He is a true singer .I estimate somewhere around a mezzo tenor.👍

This song is so much more meaningful to me since learning that the writers’ inspiration had been their parents: Jewish immigrants who escaped the pogroms of Eastern Europe to the United States, “a land they only imagined in their dreams.” ‘The Wizard of Oz’ came out less than two months after Kristallnacht.
