I am sure many on here have heard the glorious voice of Barbara Cook; if not from me, then elsewhere. One of her least know songs, was in the undeservedly short run musical, "The Grass Harp," in 1971, which marked her return to the stage, with a noticeable weight gain, but a voice untouched by time.
The musical, by Kenward Elmslie and Claibe Richardson was adapted from Truman Capote's novella, about the Talbo sisters, one of whom, Dolly, (Cook) lives in a treehouse. She has this gorgeous song, "Chain Of Love" that never really made it into her repertory, and I wish it had. Her vocals are simply exquisite If only ENCORES would do this. I can just hear Jessie Mueller, or maybe Celia Keenan-Bolger, singing this.
Here it is--
. Just savor this. And hope this brightens your day, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
