Back in the very early seventies I had a friend who was a DJ in San Francisco who had been given freebies to see a new singer and invited me to go along. She was playing in the Berkeley High School auditorium and I wasn't really expecting much. The show opened with a young man playing the piano and singing named Barry Manilow who later introduced and accompanied the featured performer "The Divine Miss M". Needles to say I was overwhelmed by this incredible one of a kind performer whose smile alone lit up the theatre. I remember at one point she asked Barry to play a bit of "that thing" she loved from GYPSY and briefly broke into "Rose's Turn". I sure wish she'd consider doing a limited run in a musical some day soon.
