Patti Spliff Performing "How Did He Look?" (Eydie Gormé)

This is one of my earliest numbers. I came across this album in the dollar vinyl bin, the back claimed Gormé sang torch songs "until the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and quiver." So many heartbreaking ballads on this record, but my favorite is "How Did He Look". I picked up on this menacing tone in her voice and knew my interpretation needed a dark reveal half way through. One of my favorites to perform - when the knife hits just right.
