Blazing saddles and Madeline Kahn

This evening we watched Blazing Saddles. Chock full of laughs - I hadn't seen it for years. One of the highlights is Madeleine Kahn's take off of Dietrich which I attach for your viewing pleasure. Then afterwards while I was browsing youtube I found a wonderful version of an Isaiah Berlin song she did which I have put first for you. I hadn't realised what a great voice she had - she could sing Dietrich off the stage though of course Dietrich wasn't about the singing.  And poignant because Kahn died 10 years ago relatively young.
