Lena Zavaroni Sings "End of the World" on Tonight Show

[@FincayraMerlin]

This is perhaps the most expressive thing I've ever heard. It's hard to believe a child can put so much feeling into a song.

[@DavidClementHorton]

I knew her since she was about 17, and she still enjoyed singing this one. I now can't hear or sing it without thinking of her. She was amazing.

[@HelloMrZebra]

That was an amazing performance. Compare her here to the girls who've been on recent talent contests who they rave about on here. They don't even hold a candle to her. She had a much better voice and put such true feeling into it, even at such a young age. I think this is the best child performance I've ever seen.

[@celticbro1]

Thanks for posting this. What an incredible voice. A much missed singer.

[@iveco321]

it's easy to forget how talented and gifted the young lady was

[@KeLynn343]

OMG, she was really born-to-sing!her voice was just so amazing.

[@Lavendergaljackie2]

This made me cry listening to this especially when she sings why does my heart go on beating. It is so sad how she died.

[@creepmag62]

what a lovely clear sound quality, thankyou.

[@LUCKYDUCKIES]

Really Really FANTASTIC!!Only 10...UAU! Congratulations from PORTUGAL(Lisbon)

[@DavidClementHorton]

Lena and I used to perform this one as a duet, with me harmonising. It is only recently that I can listen to it again.

[@Lisa13245]

This is who I see and think of when I hear the words "Lena Zavaroni" This little girl died, and that breaks my heart.

[@chezfun]

INCREDIBLE!!

[@PerisphereRec]

Silva Dee and Arthur Kent wrote the song. The late Skeeter Davis recorded the original hit version in 1962, I think.

[@samp987]

she was 10 years old at the time. Imagine she was still alive and healthy today.......

[@Lisa13245]

She makes me smile.

[@motlay]

[@cw9499]

@Lisa13245 This little girl died when she was 35.

[@Lisa13245]

Bravissima

[@newagemisfit]

Yea sawsmith35 - you vex me too. Heres a little girl away from home and beginning a very unique and troubled life. Whats the matter with you? I consider the talent and life of Lena Zavaroni to be the stuff of legend. I read your comments and wanted to tell you what to do with that saw of yours, but I would be no better than you.

[@PerisphereRec]

Tommy Newsom got it right: 'Very excellent!'

[@JackieBeatVideo]

She's amazing, but it always creeps me out when kids sing such adult songs.

[@samp987]

I am really sad that I didn't know her before. It would have been wonderful to get a chance to see her in real life and I would try to convince her to eat again. I love you,Lena. Rest in peace. I hope you are more now more beautiful in heaven with los of food. Gesus won't leave you hungry,I know that.

[@Lavendergaljackie2]

Could anyone tell me what age Lena started with anorexia?

[@MaskedMan66]

Who, Johnny Carson? He was most of the time, but as with anyone who makes people laugh for a living, he sometimes fell a bit flat.
