Me First and the Gimme Gimmes do great covers of bway showtunes - but you can't listen to too many at the same time or they all sound the same

Mostly anything Bernadette Peters has done, but mainly:

"What's the Use of Wond'rin"

GORGEOUS.

Audra McDonald's "See What I Wanna See" is pretty schnazzy...

The Mamas and The Papas do a cover of "My Heart Stood Still" that's just gorgeous.

I'd love to hear some of those Sondheim jazz covers.

Munk's is my fav too! Bernadette singing what's the use of Wonderin'.

great guitar accompaniment, and her interpretation is wonderful.

runners up:
Christiane Noll's "Times like This" and "Look at that face"
Streisand's "Lover, come back to me" from "My name is Barbra"

and the Trotter Trio's "Passion" is my favorite of the Sondheim disks.

Love this thread!

Actually I could use some help. There was a lovely,jazzy rendition of "Almost Like Being In Love" that I remember a long time ago hearing on the radio, but can never find the version.

The artist is male, sounds like Michael Frank or Kenny Rankin.

Both Nat King and Natalie Cole have recorded jazzy versions of "Almost Like Being In Love"

Anthony Warlow's "On The Boards" CD has a bunch of great covers such as "You're Nothing Without Me"

Also love Audra McDonald's "When Did I Fall In Love"

Judy Kaye does a great medley of parade songs on her "Diva By Diva" cd:
-A Parade in Town (from Anyone Can Whistle)
-Before the Parade Passes By (from Hello, Dolly!)
-I'm a Brass Band (from Sweet Charity)

It also has a fun little riff on "76 Trombones" in there...

Let me second Craig about the Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies. The album is called. It's a Drag and it is noting but Punk Broadway covers. Including. Don't cry for me Argentina. Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Science Fiction Double Feature. Ect. Worth a listen and a purchase!!

OMGG (Oh My Good God)

I FOUND IT! Michael Johnson had a top 5 ACC hit in 1978 with a remake of "Almost Like Being In Love", very sweet, jazzy like I remember. Besides a cool rendition, it was the first Broadway song that I could remember being remade and played on the radio and being so popular, and it warmed my young heart!

He's the guy who sang "Bluer than Blue"

Streisand's "People", which I bought on 45rpm a few days after seeing the Boston tryout.
