Like Johnstp, I also was a great admirer of the late Nancy LaMotte's Intertwining of "Good Thing Going" and "Not a Day Goes By." That haunting cello. It was I guess the first recording that made me realize that there was more to Sondheim than "Clowns."

Of course you can't ignore Peters' "Not a Day Goes By," and I see that almost no one has ignored it.

Barbra Cook is one of my favorite Sondheim "interpreters" (as she's been called). Her whole Mostly Sondheim album is to die for (even the non-Sondheim stuff). Her medley of Not a Day Goes By and Losing My Mind is among my favorite performances of all time.

I've never been a huge fan of Patti Lupone but when she sang "Being Alive" at the Sondheim Celebration concert in the 90's she absolutely killed it.  Love that the conductor has to watch her for the cue to cut off at the end.

Also, at the same concert Madeline Kahn sang one of the best renditions of "Not Getting Married Today" ever.
