Ms.Carmello, in my opinion is the greatest Broadway belter, comic and dramatic actress since Streisand. She just never had the ONE part that was a hit, the right timing for the Tonys, got the right press that would have catapulted her into the next level. I’ve seen her in many “supporting” roles, she steals every show she is in. She has become a star IN SPITE of not getting that “big lucky part”. THAT is a testament to her talent, it cannot be ignored.
Patrick Deering I agree. I can’t find anyone that sings this anywhere close. All the other performances besides Barbra Judy or their family members are all subpar
What’s crazy is that the video is so good, you forget how even better it is hearing her sing live. If you get the chance in any capacity to see her sing live, GO. The vibrato makes your heart race
Wow this lady is fantastic. I made my debut on stage in 1994 in North Shore Musical Theatres production of Funny Girl in the role of John stage manager Auckland NZ and always remember this beautiful song 👍
I stood on the same stage with Carolee in "Music Man" in Proctors Theatre in Schenectady, N.Y. - just 165 miles from Broadway. Her voice is just as STUNNING and charismatic as it was in her youth. So wonderful to hear her sing just 3 years ago here.
I know he's around When the sky and the ground started ringing. I know that he's near By the thunder i hear in advance. His words, his words alone are the words That can start my heart singing. And his is the only music that makes me dance. He'll sleep and he'll rise In the light of two eyes that adore him. Bore him it might But he won't leave my sight for a glance. In every way, everyday i need less of myself. I need more him. More him. 'cause his is the only music that makes me dance. Bore him it might But he won't leave my sight for a glance. In every way, everyday i need less of myself. And i need more him. More him. 'cause his is the only music that makes me dance. Yes his is the only music that makes me dance.
Just got back from NYC - where I participated in the International Model and Talent Association 2018 competitions. I received five (5**) "Excellence in Acting" Awards and was "Best Male Adult Voice" winner. We competed in "Cold Read**, Monologue**, Improvisation**, On Camera Host**, Commercial Print, Runway, Singing, Theatrical Headshots and a Screen Test**. I also had callbacks with 12 Modeling and Talent Agencies in NYC, Los Angeles and Tampa, Florida. Carolee Carmello...again some day?
You’d never know from this version that this is a truly beautiful song. Carmello tries to belt her way through it instead of letting the music and lyrics do the work. Sometimes less is more. Check out Judy Garland’s version on RU-vid for something that’s really moving.
Is this from that Leading Ladies concert at Carnegie Hall from quite a few years ago, that was released on cd, and shown on PBS? I don't think this is on the cd,in any case. Or could this be from the Actor's Fund concert with multiple Fanny Brices?
