  • This is a combination starting off with a lesser-quality version transitioning into my VHS-recorded over-the-air version (unfortunately I came in late to the performance missing the first part.) Cleaner version starts at 1:15 into the clip. Performed on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" March 3, 1983, NBC Studios, Burbank, California.

    Linda became an even better singer in the 80's than the 60-70's.
    She learned better tonal control and reining in that blaster of a voice.
    I LUV this song cuz it's a perfect example of her knowing when to unleash and rein in that power.
    And her vocal purity is hard to top.
    Compared to someone like Aretha Franklin, Linda still has not gotten the full credit she deserves for her contributions to various genres in music.
    She is one of those rare artists whose live renditions often surpass the recorded versions. This performance is def a perfect example.

      @@shihlin1 Andrew wrote the theme song for the TV show "The Golden Girls ("Thank You For Being a Friend"). His mother, Marni Nixon (1930-2016), was the singing voice for actresses Deborah Kerr in "The King and I" (1956), Natalie Wood in "West Side Story" (1961), and Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady" (1964).
