I've always loved her on the London recording of Sunset, and of course The Muppets' Christmas Carol. It saddens me that her song is cut in that in the wide-screen/theatrical cut on the DVD. Since I didn't see that movie in theaters and for many years only had the VHS version, which kept her song, I thought my DVD was broken the first time I watched it and she just got up and walked away without singing "When Love Is Gone."
