  Barbara Harris
Barbara Harris apparently suffered some severe vocal problems during the run of THE APPLE TREE that she struggled with for years later.
Barbara Harris is a wonderful comedic actress, also - I almost p*ss myself every time I see Alfred Hitchcock's The Family Plot - she is just so wonderfully funny in that film - and a little spooky also - which is exactly what the role called for.
Barbara Harris is so vivid on the ON A CLEAR DAY cast recording that you automatically picture her delivering the songs as you listen.

Barbara talks of her love of music from an early age and how the Everly Brothers inspired her love of folk music and The Beatles gave her a love of harmony singing.
Barbara inherited a love of classical pieces from her mother and the programme uses Dame Janet Baker's performance of the aria as a starting point for Barbara's own version.
The programme is unique as it treat's Barbara's voice as a serious talent, and she too sings about the technique of singing with great insight and depth.

 Slant Magazine - DVD Review: Family Plot
He indulges Dern and Barbara Harris, who are both likable as a loser couple out to find an heir to a fortune, and contrasts them with another pair of amoral jewel thieves (William Devane and Karen Black).
Most damningly, a group of teenagers run a man off the road to his death, and they just drive off to stay out of trouble (this is complicated by the fact that the man in question is a killer and all-around bad seed).
In the film's best moment, the camera zooms in to a guilty-looking Black as she watches Devane struggle with Harris; when he sticks a hypodermic in her arm, Harris looks heavenward for help (which links her to the bishop, who did the same thing when he was injected with drugs).
