My first duet was with my son
0:07
When he was a baby, we used to sing together, and he knew the words to all my songs
0:13
like from Funny Girl and Hello, Dolly. Later on, when he was 15 years old
0:18
I walked by his room, and I hear this beautiful humming. So I put my ear to it, you know, and it's my son Jason
0:26
but his door was locked, of course. Jason, was that you? No, Mom, it's okay
0:31
I mean, just, can I come in? I just want to hear you hum like that again. I started exploring singing and music late in life
0:40
It was not something I really thought I would ever do. You know, because my mother is such an icon
0:45
that I thought, well, I can't open my mouth. People would compare me, and I just didn't think I'd ever want to go there
0:51
But I also had a need to express myself and explore my own musicality
0:54
When he played me some of the things he recorded, it was jaw you know to hear him Because I thought wait a minute I mean how did he what Where has this been
1:14
How Deep Is the Ocean was the first song I found that I chose to sing
1:18
But when she heard it, she thought that would make a great duet. For a mother and son, the lyric was so right for what I felt towards him
1:31
I mean, singing a song like this with your mother is, it's personal
1:50
How much do I love you? I'll tell you no lie
2:01
How deep is the ocean How high is the sky How many times a day do I think of you
2:28
And how many roses are sprinkled with dew
2:38
I said, you know, you've got to come on tour with me and sing it
2:41
He says, I don't want to perform live. I don't want to sing in clubs. I don't want, what do you mean
2:46
Like, I didn't know what he would be like, you know, singing in front of thousands of people
3:00
And he started to sing and this sound just flowed from him
3:05
How high is the sky? No real fear that I could sense It about love It about the depth of feeling of love I love my mother and I know she loves me It was my favorite moment in the show I mean to have my son come
3:27
out and share that stage with me. God, that was a highlight for me. And if I ever lost you
4:06
I sent him a copy, and he went, Mom, that's really good. You were fabulous
4:18
That's it, baby! Woo! Yeah, Jason
