Guinnevere would have been great. I love to think of teachers doing roll call on that one. >One or both of us would end up off key, then we would make each other laugh. Did you manage to get any of that on tape or film sagebrush? I envy those smart enough to have captured their childhood antics. My sister made us all do a dance routine to Simon & Garfunkel's "Cecelia" for the neighbours. Aye me. Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - Mas Que Nada (1966) We did record ourselves on a few occasions to critique our efforts, but we always taped over them. Years later. however, my husband (then just a boyfriend) and I went into one of those recording booths they have at amusement parks and recorded "A Whole New World" from ALADDIN. He performed his part very tongue-in-cheek, kind of talk-singing it like Rex Harrison did in MY FAIR LADY. He was making me laugh and I found it hard to stay focused. I was kind of irritated with him, because I took it seriously and wanted a solid recording. I still have that tape cassette, and I'm glad now that he performed it like he did because it makes me laugh to the point of tears in my eyes!  |

I love live performances and this is one of my favorites (Webster Hall, NYC). I was glad to see Della Reese have a late-in-life career as an actress but always wished there had been more opportunities for her to sing.
And this album has tons of memories for me. As a kid, my parents had it as a 45 RPM album set, which was a thing for a brief window of time when RCA was pushing 45-only players to teenagers to play their Elvis singles on. I probably listened to this more than my parents did. Lena's still one of my all-time faves.

Wow - I've never thought of the lindy hop as gorgeous.

Yes indeed!  Dad Ozzy did the double exposure editing on the last 1/3 of that "Travelin' Man" film clip, which many do claim it was an early precursor of the modern music video. Sepiatone |

So Ozzy did have a job, after all? In addition to being an early precursor of the modern music video, Ozzy was also one of an early example of a remote employee. |

While we're on the subject of Roberta Flack, The Fugees did a great cover of "Killing Me Softly" in 1996.

You also mentioned "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" too. Earliest recording was by Canadian folk singer BONNIE DOBSON in 1961, but I can't find any clip of her recording. But I found this...
Gordon Lightfoot(1966)
The song was composed by British political activist singer/songwriter EWAN MacCOLL in 1957 for PEGGY SEEGER(Pete's half sister) with whom he was having an affair. And was also earlier recorded by.....
1962
