Madeline Kahn - Lost In The Stars

Madeline Kahn singing Kurt Weill’s Lost In The Stars on a famous TV show. Not telling which one. Because I will get sued. But it’s not Friday Morning Live, I’ll tell you that much. This is like, too lovely not to be on TH-cam so if this gets removed, Lorne Michaels (or Lauren Michaels as Leif from Crashing would call him, or her. She’s a BEAUTIFUL celebrity) hates thesbians.

Real music. A real singer with a real voice.
Rest well, Madeline.

I saw this the night it was live and I have been looking and looking for this. Thank you so very much for posting this. Hers is the version that brings a tear to my eye......I remember how terribly poignant it was and how she looked......What a lovely talented lady.......gone too soon.

Me too!

She’s singing a song from 1949 on SNL in 1975.
In the early days of SNL they occasionally went for heart warming emotion. In moments like this one SNL would take your breath away.
Madeline Khan was a national treasure.

This is probably my favorite episode ever of SNL. May 8, 1976. Put them all together, they spell MOTHERP. She was so delightfully and genuinely funny.

Lost In the Stars
Lyrics:
Before Lord God made the sea or the land
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand
And one little star fell alone
Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star in the wind down there
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost no more
Now, a man don't mind if the stars get dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him
So long as the Lord God's watching over him
Keeping track how it all goes on
But I've been walking through the night and the day
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away
Forgetting his promise and the word he'd say
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars big stars blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars big stars blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
