N.Y.’s Madison Square Gardens may have been packed with all the brightest and best new talents in music last night at the Grammys, but it was a 68-year-old diva and acting legend who had the crowds on their feet for the most genuine and spontaneous standing ovation of the whole evening.
Two-time Grammy and two-time Tony Award winner Patti Lupone was playing a musical tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber with her rendition of Don’t Cry for Me Argentina a song she made famous when she first starred in Evita on Broadway in 1979 (and collecting a Tony for her performance)
It would be interesting to re-visit the Grammy’s in another 40 years to see if last nights winners would still sound as good as Miss Lupone. The second video below is of a much earlier performance when she also managed to balance a huge head of hair too at the same time.
