They just don't make duets like this anymore! Enjoy the sheer greatness:)

    Peter was simply goldust here on earth for too short of a time. He's adorable, as he holds back his silliness, (I think he could hv done a whole stand-up act abt. his experiences w/Helen Reddy). He's often an inch away from being "naughty" when he chats on.
    RIP, Mr Allen. ...and a sincere thank you for sharing this!

      Well his aunt did say that he was a naughty boy as a child on the episode of "This is Your Life". It's impossible to find the complete episode...that and the Bijou Concert! I've spoken to some video collectors and no one seems to have a copy.

I truly believe he should have been a star on the level with Sinatra, MJ, Madonna or Elton John. Thank god there is so much of his relatively brief time that still exists!

      La música es la gran fortaleza del alma, nada podrá detener, los momentos lindos que sienten los seres humanos cuando escuchan canciones tan bellas y perfectas, como es el Tema de Arturo, y más aún si en el Piano tenemos a Peter Allen, el cual es el mejor pianista del mundo, se le nota la alegría y la pasión que le pone, al tocar la canción romántica más bella y perfecta del mundo y más aún si participa en este acto Christopher Cross, el creador de esta canción tan perfecta, nadie podrá impedir que los conciertos musicales vuelvan a realizarse a estadios llenos, viva la música , viva la vitalidad, viva la vida, no a las Cuarentenas.

    Is there any truth to the rumor that I heard that Peter's contribution was solely the turn-of-phrase "When you get caught between the moon and New York City" and the rest was written by Cross/Bacarach/Bayer Sager? Which is a huge contribution, of course. Its a fabulous tune. Thanks for this version.
