Music reviews of Live from New York
Music Review: thanks for the laughs, Gilda
Rating: 5 Stars
When SNL funny lady Gilda Radner passed away in 1989 from ovarian cancer at the age of 42, the world became a much sadder place. With her unique combination of childlike innocence and canny knowledge of character acting, her comic skits were the ultimate highlight during her golden years as part of the original Saturday Night Live gang.
Characters like brash TV journalist Roseanne Roseannadanna; slightly deaf editorial speaker Emily ("never mind") Litella, adenoid-plagued teen nerd Lisa Loopner, and burnt-out rock singer Candy Slice became cultural icons, and each deservedly earned a cult following during the early SNL years.
On the album of highlights from her 1979 solo Broadway show GILDA RADNER: LIVE FROM NEW YORK at the Winter Garden Theatre, Radner brought her classic SNL characters back along with some new ones, plus lots of great music. One of my favourites is Jewish songstress Rhonda Weiss and her emotional musical rant, "Goodbye Saccharine" (a song which hits home a lot harder in the light of Radner's own real-life cancer battle; Radner suspected it was her years of taking saccharine which led to the cancer).
Lisa Loopner talks about double-dating with Marvin Hamlisch and his "The Way We Were" lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman before launching into an overwrought piano performance of the song. Emily Litella--a character lovingly based on Radner's childhood nanny Dibby--substitutes at an elementary school where she attempts to read a book to her students entitled "Tiny Kingdom"; and Roseanne Roseannadanna is called in last-minute to deliver the commencement address at Columbia University...
But in stark contrast to all the bells and whistles of Radner's comic creations, the act ends with a tender ballad entitled "Honey (Touch Me With My Clothes On)", another poignant reminder of a truly versatile woman who could have you howling with laughter, then turn on her heel and make you weep with emotion. We'll never see the likes of Gilda again.
If you adore the comic brilliance of Gilda Radner, then this disc (now re-released at a budget price) deserves a place on the shelf. [WARNER ARCHIVES 9 45695-2]
