'The Way I Feel' on 'The Singing Life' DVD

[T.G.]

Tuned in to a PBS broadcast of a feature called "The Singing Life" that spotlighted a group called Chanticleer (DVD version featured at http://www.chanticleerrecords.com/St...&productId=141). The program began with a haunting rendition of a familiar melody, but I couldn't place it at first because of the a capella vocal arrangement. Then I realized it was Lightfoot's "The Way I Feel." Would love to hear the whole version, but can't seem to find it on YouTube and such.

Let me know if you ever come across it -I did a search too and also came up empty. I had never heard of Chanticleer -nice to read of them. Maybe you could contact their organization to find out if a full-version of the song was ever recorded?

Really neat that they were performing the song in 1986 -when the group 1st formed!

It seems the snippet run in the DVD is the only recorded version. Very haunting melody. I did record it on the VCR and maybe I can find a way to put it up on YouTube.
