Tyne Daly sings DEAR WORLD medley (2005)

July 10 would have marked Jerry Herman's 90th birthday. To celebrate the gift of this most incredible of Broadway composers, we begin by presenting a medley sung by Tyne Daly at a benefit gala for Mr Herman in 2005, with "Each Tomorrow Morning" and "And I Was Beautiful" from Dear World.
From the same performance, Carole Cook can be heard singing "Before the Parade Passes By" from Hello, Dolly! at: • Carole Cook sings "Bef...

It doesn't get better than this. What a talent Ms Daly is.

It is wonderful that Tyne Daly took relived the theatrical moments of the song and squeezed every nuance of thought and feeling that the material had to offer. Oh, wouldn't she be wonderful in a revival of this troubled work? What we see here is pure magic. I feel as though I've peeked inside the mad woman's soul for a brief while.

She did a tiny production at York Theater, NYC a few years back, and she was just this sweet and charming. I didn't see the Broadway production but I suspect smaller is better.

Beautifully done, a master class. Todays musical theatre actors should take note- and learn from this performance and her. It’s not always about screaming through your nasal cavity. Tyne is lovely in this.

What a beautiful voice Tyne has!!!!!!!!!!

[@wickedfan811]

One of Herman's very best songs, honestly. And Tyne sings it beautifully. Thank you so much for posting!

[@catchison8671]

What an amazing performer she is….❤️👏🏼👏🏼

[@anthonyassadourian8525]

Absolutely breathtaking - thank you SO much for uploading this gem! ❤️

Absolutely love her!

Tim (Daly) was on my first Little League team, in Suffern, in 1966. Tyne would come and watch some of the games. She was the quintessential 1966 girl. Tall, thin, long straight hair parted in the middle, jeans, sandals. We won our Division, and our Championship best 2 out 3. The end of season celebration was at their home on Montebello Road. 😎😎😎

Nothing like a Ron Able arrangement ! ! !

Great to hear the criminally under-performed "And I Was Beautiful." I had no idea Daly had ever performed it.

[@johnedmiston1972]

She actually performed the role of Aurelia in a revival of Dear World

[@joannvandenberg4792]

I didn't realize she had this beautiful voice. I just new she was very good on Cagney and Lacy.

[@MrDevius2]

You never cease to amaze me with footage that is so rare I didn't even know it existed! In spite of its beautiful and dramatic score, the songs from "Dear World" are not performed that often. What a treat to see/hear Tyne Daly. Of course she was great on "Cagney & Lacey" (along with Sharon Gless and the entire series). And I was fortunate enough to see her tour de force turn as Mama Rose in "Gypsy." So seeing this performance was a treat. But if you come up with actual footage of Angela Lansbury in Dear World" I might drop dead from a heart attack! 🎭

Excellent actress. Actress who sings. Not a singer.

[@MikeA15206]

give me an actor who can sing a little over a singer who can act a little

[@sheilahballard1039]

This lady is not a very nice person. We had an opportunity to know when she played in "GYPSY" at the Muny Theatre in St. Louis, MO about twenty years or so ago.

[@richiejohnson]

I like Tyne. But here she is just imitating Angela Lansbury

[@hawby7mgh]

I would disagree. Lansbury line readings on the OBC as well as her phrasing on lyrics is completely different. Also, Lansbury made no attempt at a French accent.
