Featuring Bernadette Peters, Andy Williams, Glenn Close, Judy Collins, and many more singers and songwriters. This was a "Great Performances" show on T.V. I have also uploaded some of these performances on separate videos, such as Bernadette Peters and Marvin Hamlisch together with "The Way We Were", a song which Hamlisch wrote the music for. I have done this on a few of my long videos, so that some of the performances will reach a wider audience (they are especially good, I think, &/or those who haven't otherwise been seen, such as Glenn Close singing "They Didn't Believe Me". (BE FOREWARNED THAT the middle of the ballet number is interrupted momentarily by a "glitch", in other words, an unexplained other T.V. show making its appearance for a minute!! - I have left it in because to edit it out would diminish quality of picture on rest of video.)

I HAVE REPOSTED THIS VIDEO BUT HAVE LOST THE COMMENTS THAT IT PREVIOUSLY HAD, which I deeply regret! It is impossible to know ahead of time which videos are copyrighted. The 'copyright' people swoop in at any time (even months) after you've posted something and give you a strike (THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT!) I hope that YT will soon consider going back to their previous policy of letting you keep your account and other videos, if you delete the offending video, WHICH IS WHAT THEY WERE DOING FOR SOME TIME BEFORE 2013.
