Benjamin Britten video
Greg Sarchet recently sent me a link to this video featuring Dudley Moore doing an impression of the great British composer Benjamin Britten.

This is such an amazing video. It features Mr. T singing “Treat Your Mother Right”. Mr. T has a hard time singing in time, but he totally sincere with this song and it is completely compelling. It is also the ultimate 1980s video. Look how the women are dressed, and [...]
