Top favorites this Sunday are..."S'Wonderful," which actually hails from an old (1927) show called Smarty (which failed, then succeeded after it was re-named Funny Face. And they ask, what's in a name?) sung by Bobby Short... and "The Woman's Dead," from Curtains (let's laugh at Death for as long as we can, right?)...I'm also adding in a selection from Pippin, which is making such a stir on Broadway presently, although back in 1979 they couldn't GIVE tickets away. Huh. Anyway...another 1970's goodie is from The Me Nobody Knows (and nobody DOES know about this show!), "Light Sings." And catch Avon Long singing "Nobody," from Bubbling Brown Sugar...he played Sportin' Life in a Porgy and Bess revival in the 40's. What a voice!
Hope you can join me!
