| Just bumping this mention up from the sub-thread below. I’ve never seen him live—and didn’t realize he made his Broadway debut in Bajour—but I’ll always be grateful his glorious vocals were preserved on the studio recordings of The Baker’s Wife and Carmelina. When I heard the sad news, my immediate reaction was to play “It’s Time for a Love Song” from the latter. Then “Merci, Madame,” from the former. Rest in peace. | |

| Will have to try to find the recording of CARMELINA...I love him in THE BAKER'S WIFE recording, & was so moved to read how he had used yet another talent of his to sculpt a statue of Jason Miller who wrote THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON. It still stands as a tribute to him, I think in a park in Miller's hometown. I too would have loved to have seen Sorvino onstage. He brings a deep compassion and sadness to his wonderful work on LAW & ORDER, and I recently saw CRUISING again and was moved by the details he brought to his role in that. May he sing as much as his heart desires in Heaven. | |

| I saw him in the 2006 production of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA at NYCO. I remember quite enjoying his performance. Sadly, I don't recall much else. It wasn't the best production. | |

| After starting this thread last night, I came across the recording of Paul Sorvino singing "It's Time for a Love Song" from Carmelina (preceded by Georgia Brown's Prayer) that someone just posted yesterday. Just gorgeous. | |

| I love his singing in both The Baker's Wife and Carmelina. Unfortunately, I never saw him on stage, but I greatly admire his film and TV work. | |

| Still online via All Arts &/or youtube is the 1974 KING LEAR in which Sorvino plays Gloucester to James Earl Jones' Lear! Forgot - I had watched it during lockdown & it's a thrill to attend a Delacorte production from that legendary time. All do magnificent work!!! | |
