> Does anyone know who sings the song "A Place for Us" in the TIAA CREF commercial? Thanks for your help.

David Sylviain is the artist and you can here the commercial at the folowing link

The singer is Ian McCullogh, a solo artist but also the lead singer in Echo and the Bunnymen. If you like that clip of him singing "Somewhere", you might also like his last solo cd called Slideling.

> The song is from the musical Westside Story. Here are the lyrics.
> There's a place for us
> Somewhere a place for us
> Peace and quiet and open air
> Wait for us
> Somewhere

> There's a time for us
> Some day a time for us
> Time together
> With time to spare
> Time to look
> Time to care
> Someday,

> Somewhere
> We'll find a new way of living We'll find a way of forgiving
> Somewhere
>
> There's a place for us
> A time and place for us
> Hold my hand
> And we're halfway there
> Hold my hand
> And I'll take you there
> Somehow
> Someday
> Somewhere

One of them (showing shots of a large classroom of students) is Etta James, an outstanding rendition. I don't yet know who the performers are for the other versions (one set in a museum, another in a hospital).

Dude! The voiceover sounds just like Alexander Enberg. He did a lot of work on "Star Trek Voyager", and "Star Trek Next Generation". I know it probably not him... but it sounds JUST LIKE HIM!

Marylee

It is Liz Durrett
