If only......That would be wonderful! I would have "Broadway Baby" from "Sondheim Sings" though.

No Barbara Cook? Her "Buddy's Eyes" was sublime.

Barbara Cook annoys me sometimes. Besides, Dorothy Collins is the only "Buddy's Eyes" for me.

I would add Donna Murphy's "Losing My Mind" (from Sondheim Wall To Wall) and then the list would be perfect. Even though it's not commercialy available, it is my absolute favorite version of the song (granted, I am a tad biased )
