Yes, I should have make it clear that Ed Sullivan had the original cast of the Broadway "The Sound of Music." Sullivan did mention Mary Martin, the original Maria.

+ quoththeraven Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 There may well be other covers of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," but Jo Kwon's is especially fierce. It was his response to people who criticized his earlier cover of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" by (pejoratively) calling him a drag queen.

+ WilliamM Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) "Take Me Along" was my first show in New York away back in 196o. I also saw "The Sound of Music" that week. I am posting a sound video of Mary Martin singing on stage in her last TSOM performance. Edited August 18, 2017 by WilliamM TruHart1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ WilliamM Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Mary Martin last performance in "The Sound of Music." She is being recorded on stage. Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, Leland Hayward and the Hallidays (Mary Martin and Richard Halliday) were the original investors in the TSOM. Yet, the initial profits from the film soundtrack were divided between Rodgers and TheHammerstein estate. It's unclear if Rodgers knew, probably not. But, Halliday and Hayward won in arbitration. Martin remained friends with Rodgers, but never worked with him again. Edited August 17, 2017 by WilliamM TruHart1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonman Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 More Joni Mitchell. Hers was the first recording of this song that I heard - then I went on to discover the brilliance of its originators. Also fun that Mitchell gets a few lyrics totally wrong, having misheard them without realizing ("They all laughed at angry young men" instead of the original - a homage to the Gershwins - "They all laughed at A. Graham Bell." Also - "the idiomatic logic" instead of "the reasoning and the logic" - and "oh, they used to laugh at me" instead of "soldiers let them laugh at me.") Vocalese - the jazz term for taking an instrumental solo (often an improvised one) and fitting a lyric to it. The original vocal, as written and sung by Annie Ross: The more classic Annie Ross version, when she was a part of the amazing Lambert Hendricks and Ross vocal trio. And, of course, the original original - the sax instrumental by Wardell Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ oldNbusted Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I hope this is okay, although it brakes the rules. Forgot about it after I visited Sarajevo a few years ago. People in Bosnia want everyone to know what happened. Sarajevo and the City of Mostar have too many recent graves. It doesn't break the rules as there is a cover by George Michael, this the most listened-to song in my library: + WilliamM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
