I read that Joan had asked Hugh Jackman to perform at her funeral several years ago. I think she made her wishes known to Melissa and others long ago. She was a planner.

Thanks so much for posting the song and for my trip down memory lane.
You are most welcome! It must have been amazing knowing him, lucky you!
I read that Liza Minelli could not attend the funeral due to her dogs knocking her down.
Here's part of the article, if you're interested:
She told a US paper: "I couldn't go to Joan's funeral, I desperately wanted to because I loved her but I couldn't go because I can't walk. I'm in bed.
"Going in for surgery.

He was an amazingly sweet man. He came to our area for a concert and I was able to wrangle a backstage visit. He gave me a hug and a kiss and before I could introduce my husband he said "So who's the beach boy?" {the husband was red haired and very tanned.}
He couldn't have ben kinder. The world truly lost an amazing artist and man.

What a nice memory! How fun that must have been! Maybe he was hoping your beach boy wasn't your husband (wink wink, lol!)!!

That sure is a beautiful song...and so fitting. My nephew lives very close the the Temple where Joan's ceremony was and he walked down but could get no where near it. He said the amount of people that were outside on the street was unbelievable.
