For over a week I've awakened all hours of the night with this song playing in my head, sometimes I'm singing the intense lyrics and other times just humming the music. I have no idea what this means or why I am being subjected to this Jerry Herman classic waltz from a Broadway flop, but I had to find some version on YouTube. I searched for the Karen Morrow version from the tribute to Herman at the Hollywood Bowl, but the sound was negligible, and then I found this.WOW!
The singer is Sam Harris. I have no idea who this guy is, but this arrangement is perfect for the melodrama; the beauty of the piece. I just cannot get this melody out of my head. Perhaps posting this video will help purge the song from my poor, tired brain. Paging Dr. Freud!
Comment if you like. I enjoy all thoughts and input, always.
The back is really acting up, and I am exhausted from lack of sleep last night.
And so it goes.

So... by posting this song you expelled it from playing in *your* head, so it will now play in *my* head. ;)
Hi Cajun,
I believe this is the guy who stunned everyone with his singing & went on to win the grand prize on Star Search. I had forgotten all about him but was mesmerized by his voice then. Thanks for bringing back that memory!! I think I'll go look for his CD's.

@Lem: The song still swirls in my head; I hum the tune on the walk to work and sing the lyrics on the walk home. Oh well...
@Fran: I have never seen Star Search, but found a few clips of Harris performing on the show. In one clip he sang another fave of mine, "What did I Have" from On a Clear Day and did another bang up job.
Thanks for the visit and the info.
