   She puts a trouper's verve and upbeat bounce into the show-stopper from "Gypsy"- Everything's Coming Up Roses.
   And by contrast, Just In Time from "Bells Are Ringing" get a slow march tempo. There's just the right poignant note struck with Saturday Night Is The Loneliest Night Of The Week...I Don't Want To Walk Without You....and All I Need Is The Boy.
   In her sensitive interpretation and phrasing of the unusual arrangement for Comes Once In A Lifetime, we are impressed with how truly Carol's way with a lyric and love song comes along only once in a lifetime.
   In the tradition of performers everywhere, she tops off this album with the modest hint that Everybody Loves To Take A Bow. When it's Carol Burnett, audiences need no reminders; she gets to take these bows because she rates them!
