Samuel Clemens
Incredibly powerful performance.
This song, from the movie Cabaret, was originally in the movie performed by a Nazi Youth, as a representation of Nazis taking over Germany. Blixa sang it in the context of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall and the future of the Germany which was at the time divided in half. Absolutely brilliant 👏

One of the most compelling performers of our age. He was really just finding his singing voice around this time. This is such an endearing performance.

Just discovered this - awesome! I wonder if he ever revisits these iconic performances?

Anybody know who is on piano? It would be cool if it was Nick. I can’t find anything about the performance. Mufti is known to play piano, but it doesn’t really look like him. Maybe just a studio pianist.
