Can one rightly assume Karen never recorded full versions of the songs she sings with Ella? Did she only sing in the studio the snippets we hear? "My Funny Valentine", "Someone to Watch over Me", and "I Let a Song Go out of My Heart" are not listed on the Buried Treasures list. What a joy it would be to hear the entirety of "My Funny Valentine."
Also, just my 2 cents about Ella singing live. Curious it was she singing live and not Karen. Ella famously forgot the lyrics to "Mack the Knife" in Berlin in 1960. (It won her a Grammy.) In concert fans would shout out a song for her to sing. I can't recall which album it is on, but she decides to sing a song someone in the audience requests. She replies along the lines of I don't remember all the words so you'll have to help me.
I also think Karen looks so ill on 'Music, Music, Music' that she possibly wouldn't have been able to carry the live vocals off.

Funny how different opinions can be. To me she looks great. The last time we saw her with such pep and looking reasonably healthy. Then came the poodle haircut.
I wish they could've released a soundtrack to this. Richard should release an ep at least with the ASFY intro
Itd be a nice treat during this pandemic. Mainly a Richard release. Maybe even add All My Life as a bonus track to the EP.
1. A Song For You (1980 Intro with instrumental end)
2. You'll Never Know (Richard Vocal)
3. Slaughter On 10th Avenue
4. All My Life (Karen)
Never heard of All My Life. Tell me about this song.
???? Not the cut from Ticket? Or is this more hearsay?
Nope. It’s a bona fide 1980 track. The only place I can recall Richard talking about it is in the Mook interview where he confirmed its existence.
There’s way more than just ‘All My Life’. There’s also one called ‘Why Don’t They Understand’ from 1974, I believe. I think there’s also an existing recording of ‘Sweet Talkin’ Guy’ from 1980. Plus, there’s ‘Thank You For The Music’ from 1978 and two tracks dating back to 1971 called ‘Sebastian’ and I Believe In You’.
And I'd still like to see "Fool Me" "Love as Old as the Heart" and "Some Guys Have All the Luck" with Richard on lead vocals (hopefully with vocal and/or instrumental support from Karen), rumored to have been recorded in the early 1980s, released as well.
