Here's the very talented Lainie Kazan with an
exquisite version of the Leslie Bricusse song
"When I Look In Your Eyes." The song is from
the 1967 movie Dr Dolittle. In the movie, the
song is Rex Harrison's serenade to a seal,
but here Lainie sings it in her own
distinctive style which is absolutely
beautiful - I hope the montage of pictures
does it justice.
Music: Leslie Bricusse
Lyrics: Leslie Bricusse
When I look in your eyes
I see the wisdom of the world in your eyes
I see the sadness of a thousand goodbyes
when I look in your eyes
And it is no surprise
to see the softness of the moon in your eyes
the gentle sparkle of the stars in the skies
when I look in your eyes
In your eyes
I see the deepness of the sea
I see the deepness of the love
the love I feel you feel for me Autumn comes
summer dies
I see the passing of the years in your eyes
and when we part there'll be no tears,
no goodbyes
I'll just look in your eyes
Those eyes so wise, so warm, so real
how I love the world your eyes reveal Tags :lainiemorganastreisandlizamusicalsinger

I've always loved Anthony Newley and his
music and his "panache". A very underrated
musical genius who couldn't read or play
music - he "heard" it and his partner Leslie
Bricusse did the lyrics and others took it
from there. Unfortunately he became a parody
of himself by playing up his very unique
vocal sound. He was always the lonely clown
who couldn't find love. After a show at the
Sahara in Vegas he came out and said to the
audience "Thank you - you were great, but
then so was I" Bricusse and Newley wrote a
ton of well known beautiful music. Tony
Newley made a raunchy "Fellini-esque" film
about his life entitled "Can Hieronymous
Merkin ever forget Mercy Humppe and find True
Happiness" My good friend Daren Kelly thinks
it would make a good stage musical. When I
started to self teach myself to sing it was
singing along with Tony - I can do a good
imitation of him Tags :NewleyBricusseGreasepaintshowtuneBurnsWhoCanITurnTo
