There's no music like show music!
And, yes, I, too, have Barbra Streisand's first three albums. She has never done better work before or since, as you suggested in your post, including Funny Girl.
Her rendition of "Cry Me a River" is stunning.
...WH,...There's nothing less than very good on those three albums, but "Straw in the Wind ", leaves me breathless, and "Lover Come Back," makes my heart flutter. Do you remember, in those days she was winning Downbeat Jazz Polls?
...BTW, the what I tried to send you on PM, I might as well ask in oen forum. It's in your main field though. thursday, for the first time I saw the musical, "Hair". There was good singing, and mediocre dancing, but it didn't come close to my expectatons, in veiw of all the hype. Was it because of the transfer to film, or was the hype caused by the, then radical Subject matter? Or was it just me.? ...How thinketh,, youse guys?
Booman, re: Hair - IMO, the transfer to film watered it down a lot. (There's nothing like the immediacy of live performance.) But the real problem was that the time had passed. The original musical ran from 1968 to 1972. A revival was mounted in 1977, but closed in a month. By the time the film came out in 1979, the hippies were being replaced by yuppies. And it was too soon for it to be a period piece. I guess I should watch it again and see how it plays. I recall that Treat Williams was very strong.
Macsm,
...I caught it on TMC, so perhaps they'll show it again this month. Treat appeared to be really enjoying himself. ( I didn't know he could sing.
..nice tenor)All in all, I enjoyed it. I was just looking for STUPENDOUS!
Oh yeah Macsm, did Ronnie Dyson have a larger role in the play? His golden pipes could make a BIG difference. And come to think of it, the nudity on stage surely contributed to the hoopla.
A group of astronauts attended HAIR one time. They sat still until the song and dance called (I think) "Crazy For the Red White and Blue". Then they walked out because they saw disrespect for the flag. Even today, my searches don't turn up the words for that song. (Of course I could transcribe it by hand from my record album).
Here you go edgar:

The song title is Don't Put It Down. The lyrics seem almost sincere, but I'm sure the staging was more provocative.
