Chita Rivera Sings "Carousel" by Jacques Brel
At Jazz at Lincoln Center, Chita Rivera sings "Carousel" from Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, the musical revue she toured with in 1970. Singer-songwriter Brel had a 1950s hit with "La Valse à Mille Temps", set to a waltz time. New English-language lyrics were written for the song --- renamed "Carousel" for the American revue --- by Eric Blau and Mort Shuman. A web extra.
