I prefer the older Barbara Cook. There is a sensual quality to her voice that her youthful voice has not matured into. Such a beautiful video, thank you so much for sharing.
this is beautiful. thanks for creating this. such bright openness when young, in a normative feminine pitch, sweet soprano, and then after years of crashed dreams and thoughtful reflection such dark melancholy in her contemporary recording..like much of her later work: a meditation on failure, with her still sweet voice touching the failed Cook and the failed in us all with a sweeping, maternal, deep, rich, soothing love: a beautiful, sappy, tender ailment.
A standard at its best done by a woman who has suffered, rejoiced, laughed and sobbed and at 85, still goes on without losing a beat, singing as well now as she did years ago! Battling depression, alcoholism, and all the fun stuff that comes with the pair, she returned triumphantly and better than before. In Ms. Cook's case, truly does not matter 'where or when.'
Thank God for Barbara Cook - one of the few voices that can bring tears and make your heart and soul soar! It's an incredible gift she has, and at 84, she continues to bless us all with it. Thank you Barbara for a lifetime of that phenomenal voice!
is that Barbara when she was young??? A duet with herself? Such an appropriate song, too. Wow, this is incredible, what a voice...like syrup dripping off hotcakes, so sweet and smooth.
Thank you 2amuse1, The creative idea of yours to blend and contrast her voice from different decades was so well executed. It is a lovely and unusual way to hear this great musician.
This is so clever. I've never heard the individual recordings on their own but the pairing of the two is spot on, and the result is beautiful. Very well done!
@2amuse1: how did you do this one.. simply marvelous. can't compare them two.!! hehehe the younger barbara cook could simply say to the older barbara cook. "ain't bad after all these years!!!" some good thing should last forever!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

She had a lot more style and feeling in her songs in her later life.

FANTASTIC! Musically, it's gorgeous, but considering the song itself, it's as though she's singing to herself, across the years! 💖🎶

Marvelous...just marvelous
So sublime!
Bravo!! Her singing--early and late--is a work of art, and you've created an even more resonant and moving work of art by blending them.
This is absolutely incredible! Thank you, Dear Barbara and God Speed.

Wow, just wow!
Wow, what a great idea! The audio editing & song choice is very clever and clean. Well done!
Simply wonderful.
Barbara 💖
