SHE IS LEGEND, WHEN I GOT OBSESSED WITH ‘THE MUSIC MAN’ IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES FROM SEEING THE FILM I WENT AND FOUND THE ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING. AND BABS KICKED SHIRLEY JONES IN THE FLANGE. HER TONE, HER INTONATION, HER CLARITY JUST BLEW MY HEAD OFF. AND THEN I HEARD HER ‘CANDIDE’ AND WAS GONE. I AM HER BITCH FOREVER. AND THIS IS LOVELY, BUT STILL THINK FEW OF THESE FINE VOICES PAYING TRIBUTE HIT HER STANDARD.
