More Bock and Harnick: Barbara Cook Marvels at "Ice Cream" and Barbara Harris Is "Gorgeous" (Video)

In continuing tribute to the late composer Jerry Bock, best known for Fiddler on the Roof, we thought we'd acknowledge some of the other classic songs and shows he wrote with lyricist Sheldon Harnick.

Here are Barbara Cook, the original star of She Loves Me, revisiting “(Vanilla) Ice Cream” in a Melbourne concert, and Barbara Harris, who won a Tony Award for playing four roles in Bock and Harnick’s The Apple Tree in 1967, performing a combo of “Oh, To Be a Movie Star” and “Gorgeous” at that season’s Tony Awards ceremony.

Enjoy the performances below:
