BARCELONA

This is actually one of my favorite songs from COMPANY.  Don't know why, but do I really need a reason to love a Sondheim song?  I stumbled upon this on YouTube--Bernadette Peters and Richard Chamberlin performing the song from some sort of television special.  I believe it was a 1979 special titled "Musical Comedy Tonight", though the IMDB page does not have much information on it.  There was apparently a follow up program in 1982.  This song is actually ideal for Peters.  I had not known Chamberlin to be a singer, but he does a fine enough job.  He would have made an interesting Bobby in his day.  I am now intrigued to find out more about these programs, and if more clips exist on the interwebz.
