HE WAS TOO GOOD TO ME - BARBARA COOK / CARLY SIMON
I've quoted Barbara Cook elsewhere in these posts. I took a few minutes just now to listen to songs and came across Carly Simon singing He Was Too Good To Me. I remembered Barbara Cook's quote somewhere in these posts about the most dangerous place to be is the safest [for the performer]. Carly Simon is a wonderful performer, yet, what did Barbara Cook do with the same song? I think she risked going to that dangerous place -- I leave it to you to see if you agree with me. Regardless, when we work, I hope I can inspire you to reach for that safest, most dangerous place.
