Young@Heart
If you haven't seen this clip recently, you might have been under a rock. But it's good so I'm posting it anyway. The documentary is in theaters now.
From the YouTube listing:
This is from a documentary shown on Channel 4 in the UK called 'Young@Heart'; the name of the New England octogenarian chorus line. The performer here is Fred Knittle, who suffers from congestive heart failure. This song was intended to be a duet between Fred and another chorus member, Bob Salvini. Sadly, Bob died of a heart attack and it was left to Fred to carry the song on his own. If I'm correct, the people you see crying at 01:13 are Bob's family. The lady you occasionally see mouthing the lyrics in the audience is Fred's wife.
There were some very touching scenes where we see Fred rehearsing alone soon after Bob's death. It was an incredible film.
And now a much lighter song (I think I recognize me & Cranky when the song changes - the point where the preview pic was snapped):

There's another documentary, with a similar concept, coming out on May 2 - "Hats Off". It's the story of a 93 yr old woman who's still performing as a glamour model and actress.
The 2nd one made me laugh - especially when the 2 women act all bitchified. I seriously thought of me & CrankPants, in another... 40 years!! (or last week)
