Loved the La Ross and the Rodgers and Hart album...almost as much as "We Remember Sam Cooke."

There's a small hotel...
Latoya from AI was the best that season (and this season..Ha)..she was great on this song!

Latoya needs to change that name...maybe to Jermajesty.

Carol Burnett was at one point being considered for Fanny. Do you think she ever took a stab at it in a rehearsal room?

Maybe a stab, but she certainly didn't/doesn't have the range to pull it off.
"You really need a Jewish girl for this." --- Carol Burnett to Ray Stark regarding FUNNY GIRL.
Wise words to remember whenever anyone suggests Sutton Foster(or any girl like her) for the role.
Garland also performed "The Music That Makes Me Dance", but I'm not sure offhand if it was on a later episode of her TV show in in a later concert...
Okay in defense of Diana and The Girls I have to say that the "FUNNY GIRL" concept album they recorded was pure crap, but the "Sing Rodgers and Hart" album was/is a beautiful album!

Yes, Marquise, it was. And I listened to it before I started listening to Ella's songbooks, even though they had been recorded previously. So it was the Supremes who introduced me to the Great American Songbook.
Master--Judy sang "The Music That Makes Me Dance" at that same Palladium concert. I can check with (your pal) Fricke, but I believe that Judy herself came up with the song list and running order for that concert with Liza, so maybe it was after enjoying Barbra (who had appeared the previous year on Judy's TV show) in Funny Girl.
There were a bunch of Broadway shows that Judy saw multiple times in the late 50s and early 60s, starting with Gypsy and including, of course, Mame.

I'm really not a fan of MAME (can't stand the book - like most of the music) but I think it's a shame that Garland didn't get to do it.
To jump on the unusual name threadjacking, I think my best acting may have been keeping a straight face when giving a college tour. Admissions Counselor introduced the student: "This is Sandy Beach."
To get back on topic, where does one find a recording of the Judy & Liza "Parade" performance? Is it on Judy's Palladium recording?
I think it might be safe to assume that Jule Styne or Bob Merrill were the first to sing the song.
Jermajesty ...
Thats it, I am naming my first born that.
I know a kid named Justin Case. Not even joking. He always says his parents are "mean, mean people" when asked about it. There was also a girl named Rose Bushey who went to my school.
I went to school with a girl named Krystal Glass.
And then, a doctor friend nearly fell out when, whilst working in an emergency room, a mother yelled at her unruly child with the following:
"If you don't calm down, Spatula, I'm gonna make you sorry."
Spatula.
Ladies and Gentlemen.... Miss Ima Hogg.

I love the SUPREMES SING FUNNY GIRL ALBUM! It is camp heaven. Every single song starts with the same vamped piece of music - ("Who is the Chick with Pizazzaz") Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum -- "Hey!"
Best name I ever encountered. When I took her credit card (I was working retail), her name was SD Jones.
So I asked for her driver's license...and her first name was SH*Tra.
Pronounced just like you would expect it.
