Cleo Laine & John Williams - He was Beautiful (Cavatina)

Here’s a rare gem. A live performance from 1980 by John Williams and Cleo Laine of “He was beautiful“ - “Cavatina“. Composed by Stanely Myers, Cavatina was recorded by John Williams on the 1971 album “Changes“ and was used in the film “The Deer Hunter“. Cleo Laine subsequently wrote the lyrics and she recorded the song with John Williams and it was released on the 1976 album “Best Friends“. This video clip is from the 1980 ATV show “Cleo“ I’m just glad the old Betamax tape survived for over 32 years.
