Here is a clip of him from 2010 singing " The Road you didn't take " from Follies. His voice is a shred of what it was in his prime, but he still knows how to deliver this remarkably poignant song.

 

He originated the role of Benjamin Stone in Follies in 1971.

Thanks for posting. I am not even a major "Follies" fan, and still very much enjoyed the song.
