I didn't have a chance to post a link while I was at work but here's the album info for The Musicality of Rodgers and Hart. If you click on "emusic" you can get a short clip.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
On stage, I also really enjoyed Samuel Barnett's version in The History Boys.
"This is wanting something, this is reaching for it,
This is wishing that a moment would arrive.
This is taking chances, this is almost touching, what the beauty is." --The Light in the Piazza
I don't know who was singing it, but the version that played at my chiropractor's office yesterday completely erased the horrible taste that the current version being foisted upon poor hapless theatre-goers on Broadway left in my mouth. I know it wasn't Patti...I'd recognize that voice. But it was great.
(He has a very weird music mix going on...it will go from stuff like that to Indian music to 80s TV themes...it's bizarre, but oddly I like it.)
Experience live theater. Experience paintings. Experience books. Live, look and listen like artists! ~ imaginethis
LIVE THAT LESSON!!!!!!
Reg - I had to watch the movie again last night. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something so warm and genuine about that film that fills me with joy. Despite popular opinion, I find it to be Woody Allen's masterpiece.
"I hate April. She's pushy."
"What can you expect from a bunch of seitan worshippers?" - Reginald Tresilian
It's so much fun watching all these different versions. My vote goes to Barbra. If you watch her expressions, she goes through every emotion known to humankind in that one song. Yet, listening to just the vocals, I don't feel it's over the top, just achingly beautiful. Also, really like the simplicity of Ella's. Such a great song that can be interpreted in so many different ways.
Why do I have a feeling that if someone started a thread with the question "Who should win this year's Nobel Prize for Physics", Patti LuPone would come away with the clear win?

"I want to meet him after and bang him!"-random woman who exposed her breasts at Rock of Ages, referring to James Carpinello
I'd forgotten about Day's cover of the song. I believe I may have it on cassette tape - somewhere.
