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 posted individual videos of people on some of my long videos, so that they will reach a wider audience (usually those I think especially good &/or those who haven't otherwise been seen, such as Glenn Close singing "They Didn't Believe Me". PLEASE SEE PLAYLIST BELOW. (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.)
