According to Playbill, Whoopi Goldberg is involved in a projected musical about Bricktop, hopefully to be in sometime in 2009 after trying out in Chicago. I never saw her in person, but she appeared a lot in Chicago post WWII. With her connections, this seems like logical subject matter for a musical. Any opinions?

i thought it was an interesting tidbut abiout La Porter writing Miss Otis Regrets for her...

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

It was the only known commericial recording of Bricktop -- may have been released only on 78. Does anyone know of an LP or CD on which it is included?

I'm happy Whoopi is involved!
