    I could not agree more about the tragic underuse of Amber Riley on Glee. It felt like her character and vocals were kept in a very specific box on that show. It was only off the show that we got to see the huge range of her talents. Thank you for spotlighting her in this video!

    I love Amber Riley too. She had do a lot with this role in The Wiz. Also love her 2017 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in A Musical for playing Effie White in a Dreamgirls, and Audrey 2 in The Pasadena Playhouse production of Little Shop of Horror. At the moment she is focus on her singing with her new EP RILEY .

    I loved that you chose this, Marc -- THE WIZ is just pure joy, and Amber lives up to that here. I loved her on GLEE (before I quit watching the show in the 5th or 6th season, aghghg), and agree that I always felt she was shortchanged. Anyone who knows her work knows she's a fantastic singer, but (as she showed on DWTS), she can really dance, too, and again, GLEE showed very little of this. I love Amber's savvy pacing on the song here -- yes, she goes for some big moments for focus, but she's also generous enough to share those moments with her cast here. Great piece, and great choice!

      I did find one that was almost the full version, that also had good quality, but it has way less views compared to the 2 vids I mentioned cuz it was released way after the those vids were out. It usually stops at Donkey’s solo.
      If you want to hear the entire thing however, you would need to click on a video that is just the audio or just click on a bootleg version of the performance. Yr choice. The one with 2 parts and better quality is better tho.

    Marc, it's 11:15 in Massachusetts and I just had to watch this video before retiring for the night. I absolutely loved the television version of the THE WIZ. I had seen the original many years ago in NY. Yes, I was very young but I remember Ease on Down the Road. The audience was waiting for this number and they became a part of the show. Some audience members got out of their seats and were dancing in the aisles. WOW! But I digress. My only regret is not being able to talk to you directly about our experiences with this TV version. Marc, you have the ability to draw us into what you are sharing. I just want to sit down and talk to you at length. Thank you so very, very much!
    In addition to learning more about you (yes I am still asking) I would so much enjoy a vocal comparison of Patti Lupone and Betty Buckley singing With ONE Look from SUNSET BOULEVARD. I didn't mention Glenn Close because I was not at all impressed with her vocals but...if you feel that she should be included that's OK. You are the pro!
