Profile for Buddy's blues2

Feeling really very sorry at this news but incredibly grateful for what this genius gave us over the years - rest on your laurels and in peace.

A train wreck of a musical called "Paradise Found" at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London in 2010. Directed by Harold Prince and Susan Stroman and starring a very sweaty Mandy Patinkin it was dire to say the least. The excellent supporting cast couldn't do much to save it either. 

Happy 90th sir! Thanks for all the laughter and tears over the years.

Living in Europe I never saw her live but the recordings of Passion and Ragtime certainly set the standards very high for those who came afterwards. A true Broadway star in every sense of the word. Love and condolences to her husband and family.
