I'm really "protective" of this song. No one, in my opinion, will ever touch Barbara Cook's interpretation . (And considering how much Patti admired Barbara, I'm guessing she'd be okay with that thought.) But this performance is a revelation and Patti easily now occupies second place in my mind, (which I haven't lost yet.) It's my "favorite Patti"-- constrained, tightly controlled, utterly present in the lyrics. What a gem.
Awe, I love Patti so much!
