Charles, With your knowledge of music, particularly the era that John Lloyd was highlighting, and your appreciation of great talent when you see it, you’ve written a wonderful recap of a wonderful night.

JLY, like other great actors and singers, has a way of connecting with people, which I’m fascinated and intrigued by, the longer I observe the dynamics of these professions.

The day after JLY’s performance, our Four Seasons’ bus tour took in some Manhattan sights after visiting the old Jersey neighborhoods. It gave me great pleasure to direct everyone’s attention to the beautiful Time Warner building where ‘Just last evening, Tony Award winner John Lloyd Young made his spectacular public concert debut!’

Charles, you did a phenomenal job of expressing in words what many of us felt on Saturday night during John Lloyd Young’s incredible concert debut at Jazz at Lincoln Center. I, too, was simply “blown away” by John’s fabulous vocals, the range of musical selections and the sincerity and genuineness he displayed while engaging the audience between songs. John is not only a gifted performer, but one who very willingly and very easily connects and relates to his fans. Thank you, Charles, for your astute commentary, and to all the other bloggers who offered comments above, for your unique and insightful reflections. They are all a wonderful reminder of that splendid evening, during which time I had the distinct pleasure of meeting and talking with so many folks who are regular contributors of the JBB.

Charles,

I, too, want to thank you for writing such an eloquent letter and tribute about JLY’s concert debut.

It was an absolutely wonderful to escape from the world into his beautiful performance for a scant 75 minutes and the city lights in the background only added to a breathtaking, beautiful experience.

The only negative thing I can say is that it was too short…we could’ve heard JLY sing forever!

Charles — You put into words what we all felt. Let’s not forget JLY’s rendition (sans Rolling Rock) of Tina Turner’s Tiny Dancer — What a Performance!
