Stay Fredric Stay - Linda Ronstadt , Rex Smith 

That voice, that voice. Warm when she does this operetta stuff, powerful rocking and a doll to gaze upon.

Can’t stop listening to these two sweet voices.

"'Till we are wed, and even after." That made me laugh

I'm in love with this movie

She is angelic, who would think a Rockstar could have such a voice? Them them both!

Linda Ronstadt had an amazing voice!!

Linda Ronstadt is the greatest most versatile female vocalist of her generation.

Ah, Linda, cruel disease to have snuffed out this divine voice.....

3:36 I’m melting hearing that voice!

Dude, Linda Ronstadt does Mabel perfectly.

I love this song. I love the singers/actors. I wish I had Mabel's voice.

I saw this in Central Park in 1980. It was a lot of fun. Linda sang up a storm, but her acting? Whoa... The audience audibly groaned when she gave her one speaking line.

I'm Mabel in my production, my Fredrick is so amazing... But nothing compares to this. SO GOOD!

3:17 is my favorite part.... I love Rex's voice.

They left out the part where Frederic explains he was born in leap year and he won't reach his 21st birthday until 1940.

So much 80s cheese, but I love it

absolutely beautiful

Am I wrong for thinking Freddy Mercury would've really nailed Fredric's part in this song? I know this isn't funny or fast like so many of the other songs, but this is the one that really made an impression on me when I saw this years ago.

When I first heard Linda do this song

2:18 I'm getting Freddie Mercury vibes y'all 😍

Wouldn’t it have been funny if the rest of the musical never happened and Fredrick was still a pirate through two world wars and eventually came home

i luv the "ah" at 2:18!!

This is one of the few songs in the movie I find not to have a comical tone to it. Perhaps the only one.

I was so excited when I saw the movie. It was years and years ago when I last saw this.

Love this song

Another great part of the magic in the pit is the BUDGET behind it. I love orchestra as much as the next guy, but our production is being done in a SMALL community theater with a TINY budget and a great cast.

I remember playing Frederick in our high school play of the pirates of penzance and the girl I had a crush on played Mabelle

We're using the original score, and on a small community budget we have a flutist, a drummer and a pianist. We do the rest of the magic on our own.

i can see him as the Phantom :)

Note that Fredric drops his bag in the middle of the circle, but later brings it up again on the path outside the circle. Wonder how it moved by itself? :)

@SeraphimCramer: It's in 1877. He was born in leap year, which by 1940 will have happened 21 times between Frederic's Birth year, 1856. Do the math.

He would nail it.

A Great part of that magic is in the pit - just like a John Williams score. Too bad most singers don;t GET IT.

0:34 the song sounds like “Lascia ch'io pianga”.

Thank you!! *Hugs* ^_^,ll..

this is higher than the original verison. i was in an amateur production of it at my high school and i played mabel. i think it might be a third above the original.

You have to be on my friend list if you want to see "Is There Not One Maiden Breast"

I can't find this on RU-vid...help??

Good init. :)

This production brought to you by fredericisadick.com

The film is set in 1876 if u calculate, for something like that. So he has to wait for 64 years

sure does

Beautiful duet, by two rock singers who wasted their time and talents on inferior material when they could have been doing G&S all along! But the money is in rock. What a pity. They were so lovely, their voices and performances so sincere.

Why can't I find any G&S with the ORIGINAL ORCHESTRATIONS????(at least w/great singers)

1940? I thought this was written in like the 18th century?

Only if it's a real Orchestra playing the ORIGINAL orchestrations!

It would have been interesting.

G&S is NOT as delightful without the full orchestration. To wit, the silly Linda Ronstadt vesrion of Pirates. Sullivan conceived his music as a total whole, not piecemeal. AND he did NOT use the XYLOPHONE!

Why do you keep saying "sister" ??? Even if the actress playing Mable IS your sister, then you aren't doing yourself any favours by looking for any excuse to broadcast the fact.
