JERRY ORBACH "4 AMAZING BROADWAY SONGS" (JERRY ORBACH PICS) BEST HD QUALITY

[@joycemiller-bean1814]

I’ve been a broadway musical fan since I was 10 and first heard my uncle play the soundtrack of “My Fair Lady”. When my parents bought the soundtrack of “ Camelot”, I was hooked. By the time I was grown and married, I owned a collection of over 147 original cast recordings of Broadway musicals and Jerry Orbach’s marvelous voice was in several of the . My own children loved him in “Beauty and the Beast” and his delighted portrayal of Lennie Briscoe in the “ Law and Order” franchise rounded out my admiration for his talents. I miss him, but I’m glad we had him. Thanks for posting this lovely tribute.👍🏾

What a handsome and sweet man. Musical theatre is so important to US history.

[@t.s.t.4085]

Mr. Orbach is a KING. He was an awesome Broadway presence. Mr. Orbach also had lots to say re: Law and Order. His family just know him a Dad/Grandad. I wish you peace, love, and no pain, as you watch above us.

[@maryshanley329]

Miss him. What vast talents. Saw him star. In The Fantastics on our honeymoon.Just wonderful.

[@jamesmacnaughton8188]

Back in 1967 or 68 I was fortunate to see Jerry Orbach perform in Promises Promises at the Schubert Theater on Broadway. He was spectacular and I will never forget it.

[@BobGerathy]

Me too ❤

[@marlenerobbins9207]

Great compilation. He was the king of Broadway!

[@8papillons]

My favorite Jerry Orbach.

[@robertawestbrooks1650]

He was so handsome, talented, and we just never knew it. So glad to discover this.

[@JohnGerrie]

I was today years old when I found all this out about Jerry O. I appreciate him even more than I did before.

[@lilbatz]

Hunt down his performance on the Tony Awards for Chicago. Fabulous 💕

[@JerryOrbachFan]

@@lilbatz it's on right here on KZbin.

[@mchantloup5]

I saw Orbach in the national tour of Promises Promises and the L.A. pre-Broadway tour of Chicago. What a dynamite performer.

[@marlenerobbins9207]

I envy you getting to see him twice!

[@jacquieharris389]

I saw him on Broadway in "Promises" in 1972. He was simply amazing. I loved him on "Law and Order" and was so sad when he died.

[@JerryOrbachFan]

He always looked so unprepossessing - and was a multiple talent in reality. Very impressive.

[@toyman9642]

Only knew of him from Law & Order. An amazing all round performer. Rest in Peace Jerry.

[@joannerempfer9763]

i REMEMBER jERRY FROM BROADWAY BRILLANT MAN MISS HIM

[@richard526]

He was great in l Law and Order. The main reason that I and millions more watched “Lenny”. The show demonstrated his well rounded talent. I don’t get tired of watching him in videos of “42 st” where he shows his talent in singing, dancing and acting.

[@sczesny46056]

Remember him on several Murder She Wrote episodes as private detective Harry McGraw .

[@kennethpack1963]

He was so good, did not matter what he did it always seemed to came out right....

[@margogreene]

Thanks for this compilation.

[@pamelamiller5996]

My favorite song. Orbach such a talent. He will be missed

[@bryanelam7431]

All of his talents but there is one talent of his I haven't seen in the comments yet. Jerry Orbach was also very talented at shooting pool. He was great at playing against an opponent & at trick shots! A true example of a Renaissance man & a true gentleman!! I'm just like everyone else in the comments, I miss him too!! Years after Dirty Dancing was made Patrick Swayze was asked about Jerry Orbach. Part of his answer was that after every scene he would immediately go to Jerry & ask for his opinion & his guidance, respect doesn't get any higher than that!! Absolutely incredible!!

[@peters6366]

An amazing collection of photographs. The songs demonstrate what great chops he had!

[@alanbrown6221]

Wonderful talent,so sadly missed

[@gsthMD7099]

[@stevevandien310]

Nice to have these records. They remind us that Jerry sang very doggone well.

Thanks for the upload! Who knew Detective Briscoe was such a good singer?

[@shoeshoe5253]

Fabulous

[@milliemouse6525]

Me 😂!

[@bxbuff]

I'm surprised they didn't incorporate his Broadway talents into the "L&O" show, like doing an undercover caper in a B'way theater. One of the greats, and one of the last of the true "song-and-dance" men!

[@pdoylemi]

Very talented man there... and a hell of a good pool player too!

[@thehashearthasheart7146]

when I was 9, my adopted parents and I celebrated their anniversary by going to see the Fantasticks with Jerry Orbach. At one point he came to my seat and gave me a marigold.I did thank him, but I didn't realize he was still there, when I whispered to my Mom that I'm surprised, the alcohol on his breath didn't kill the beautiful flower. He didn't take the flower away, but smiled and rubbed my head. When I thought then, that his breath smelt of alcohol, but his voice took my breath away. He just wonderful. When I heard that he died , I felt part of my childhood died too . RIP Mr. Orbach

[@Streisand70]

He was a really talented singer and actor who did more Broadway roles than any other actor. His version of "Try To Remember" from "The Fantasticks" is the best. He was drinking? Really?

[@pamelaerbe1227]

You were nine years old and recognized alcohol on someone's breath? Unusual.

[@JerryOrbachFan]

If he came up to me I would have blushed. I'm 48 and I would've turned into a shy schoolgirl all over again.

[@beanz4806]

As a teenager, I remember first seeing Jerry Ohrbach on tv crime shows, where he was usually cast as a villain (a Mafia-type bad guy). (This was the 1970s.) Years later he was Lenny Briscoe, the wise-cracking homicide detective on "Law & Order." Long before that, I think I heard him on an LP of musical hit songs we had, with him singing "Try to Remember." 😊

[@carolynnomura271]

Came to this from an obituary of Tom Jones, writer of Try to Remember's clever, poignant lyrics. Jerry Orbach had fabulous range as a performer. And such presence. If he never played Abraham Lincoln, he should have.

[@JerryOrbachFan]

@@carolynnomura271 I'm just over the moon for Jerry Orbach. Totally head over heels.

[@theosullivan3910]

So sorry it took me this long to find this. Great man!

[@milliemouse6525]

Absolutely number ONE! 💋

[@Streisand70]

There is a video on You tube with a vocal coach discussing why Bacharach's "Promises Promises" is one of the most difficult songs to sing in pop music. There are so many key changes, arpeggios end with a full octave jump. Singers like Dionne Warwick and Jerry Orbach who recorded this song made an extremely difficult song sound as though it was easy to sing.

[@milliemouse6525]

@@Streisand70 interesting. I know there are several songs around that are almost impossible for normal people (😂😂) to sing!

[@JerryOrbachFan]

He even modeled clothes at a men's fashion show in 1977. There are pics of it on Getty Images. Damn he looked good especially when he flashed that gorgeous smile.

[@miamiracer]

I was lucky to have watched Chicago with the original cast when it previewed in Los Angeles back in 1975 I believe. I also saw Jerry Orbach in 42nd Street, that song was also a showstopper but not included here.

[@JerryOrbachFan]

He had the most sultry bedroom eyes....😍

[@barbnahoumi65]

Jerry Orbach played Jennifer Gray's father in "Dirty Dancing."

[@sherryhannah498]

@barbnahoumi65 he sure did and I have the film and soundtrack

[@JerryOrbachFan]

I would have taken Jerry Orbach over Swayze anyday.

[@r0kus]

Thanks for this collection! I knew him from _Law and Order_ and other shows where he typically played a cop or a heavy. While researching the song _Mack the Knife_ a couple years ago, I found out that he sang the song in a translated adaptation of the 1928 German play, _The Three Penny Opera._ He sang it in 1955, and later that year Louis Armstrong fully switched it up into the jazz standard we're used to now. Hear Jerry's _Mack:_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6SwYaCchq1jbqc

That pic of him @0:18....WOW. Who knew Lenny Briscoe once looked like that?

He was so sexy and had such a gorgeous smile.

[@BobGerathy]

Why did they show the Carousel graphic when Promises Promises began?

[@stepno]

Did Law & Order ever include a hat tip to Razzle Dazzle?

[@1baddecisionaway]

Wow, and all this time I just assumed Jerry Orbach's ONLY claim to fame was giving Oral Sex the nickname, "Lewinsky" on the show, 'Law & Order'. The guy ain't a half bad singer.

[@emerybayblues]

Read the little story of Jerry Orbach having to learn Promises, Promises

[@michaelmarette4423]

Sounds like Frank Sinatra when he sings the hotel song. It's still hard to see him in any other role except when he's Lenny Briscoe in law and order..

He has been in more musicals than almost any other male performer. He is on the original production of The Fantasticks, Chicago, and 42nd Street. I know he is also on a CD for Oklahoma, Promises Promises, and Carousel. That should be a good start for you.
