[.ca] Live at the Greek Theatre

I know what it is!:
The lyric should read "Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet" instead. The song is "The Lesson" first released in 10/1967 on a Liberty single. The 2002 CD release of "It Must Be Him / For Once in My Life" (Collectables) also features this song as a bonus.

Excellent Live Recording:
Vikki Carr's interpretation of "With Pen In Hand" is different in every recording. While the one in this album is perfectly nice and sentimental, if you like this song, you should also get the CD titled "It Must Be Him/For Once in My Life" featuring another version of the song she performed live in New York.

WHATTA FABULOUS PERSON YOU ARE, VIKKI!:
Oh what a beautiful day it was when I received this long awaited release! It beautifully captures Vikki Carr at her absolute greatest: in front of a live audience in 1973. Carr's versatility is very much in evidence, singing four highlights from her Grammy winning "En Espanol" album in Spanish as well as her time honored hits "It Must Be Him," "Can't take My Eyes Off You," and "With Pen in Hand." A high point of the concert is the Judy Garland medley where suddenly Carr disappears and it's Judy Garland singing! It's a performance that Ms. Garland would surely be nodding in approval and admiration. The sound is excellent and very well miked. The band is made up of excellent West Coast musicians (of the old "Tonight Show" vintage--hence the "hi-Yos!") led by the great Bob Florence. And to think Vikki Carr is STILL marvelous! Thank you Vikki for being a ray of sunshine for all of us!!

Particular Vicki Carr Song:
I am trying to find a CD by Vicki Carr with a song she does...I don't know the exact title but the main line is "A Rose Can't Be Sweet Without Any Thorns"...it's a beautiful song and I would appreciate any information. Thanks

Music you will remember!:
I enjoyed this trememdously. I will guess that the person from Arizona is probably from the sixties. Nonetheless, it shows the closed mindedness of that era that is still prominent today. I am a Chicana and never once thought that she was like Helen Reddy. I will agree that the "General Hospital" story was not necessary but it does not detract from the rest of the concert. There is no denying that God gave her much talent and she was and still is very entertaining. I sang and hummed these songs for weeks after the concert. I was there at the Greek Theater that night. I no longer have the record album and I plan on buying the CD so thank you Amazon making this available and bringing it back.
