Barbra Streisand & Anthony Newley

[ Edited ]
Streisand's engineers were able to isolate Newley's original vocal track so the two were able to duet on "Who Can I Turn (When No body Needs Me)". Newley wrote and starred in the 1965 Greaspaint-The Smell of the Crowd ballard. To this day crush on him! What a voice. Side note- Joan Collins and Newley married produced two lovely talented Daughters. Thankfully, His Voice plays on.💖

I watch the video of him performing that song, at least once a week or two. I also watch his video performance of, The Man Who Made You Laugh. I even showed his videos to my 30 year old daughter and she loved them. That was a time for great performers, actors, stars whatever word you prefer to use. Great songs like that are not written anymore. Nostalgia!

Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life.

Awesome!  I saw him once at a casino and he was delightful!  He was singing and cracking jokes.  I was sitting like a foot away from him.  It was a wonderful show and I am so glad that I got to see him.

I saw Anthony Newley perform 'What Kind Of Fool Am I' among other beauties, in the show, 'Stop The World-I Want To Get Off' in 1962.  It was a brilliant show in which he starred and cowrote.

@Sweet_Serenity I had a huge crush on him, too, one of my biggest!  When I was 16 I made my mother buy me the original cast album of "Roar of the Greaspaint".   Anthony was a unique, amazing artist - I remember seeing him perform that song on the Ed Sullivan Show and how the audience yelled "Bravo" when he finished singing.  I have Barbra's cd and I play their duet over and over - such a  beautiful version.  Always loved Tony Bennett's version, too.  Heart
