Follies in Concert, 1985- In Buddy's Eyes

Details

Description

The Eighth number, a true classic of Musical Theatre, and a damn fine song even so. Sally sings of her sheltered and confined life married to Buddy, and the love between them that keeps them together. Love that; as the song also shows, is slowly falling apart.
Sung beautifully by Barbara Cook, and one of her signature songs at that.

The incredible recording of the equally incredible 1985 Concert performance of Stephen Sondheim's Follies (Book by James Goldman, but these are just the songs).
