Many brilliant, wonderful star ladies have sung this song: Nancy Walker, Polly Bergen, Ann Miller, Dolores Gray, Carol Burnett, Elaine Stritch, Shirley Maclaine, Christine Baranski, Elaine Paige, etc. They have all brought their magic to this definitive Stephen Sondheim song. But when the dealer makes the call, I'll always put my last chip on Yvonne. How lucky I am to have seen her do the number in the original FOLLIES. Thank you for posting Yvonne at her best!

Star Sky Hope you've noticed the video quality is better than the ones previously posted on youtube. I love Yvonne's version but my favorite is without a doubt Milly's: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5-kdq-j0Ke8gIk.html

Agreed...Yvonne's is the penultimate version. Somehow, you knew she'd lived it...really!

Ive seen interviews where she says the song was written for Carlotta, but it sure seems to me Sondheim wrote her lifes story in that incredible song.
@Gary_Jaffe2 жыл бұрын
Sondheim loosely based the song on the career of Joan Crawford, stating "She [Crawford] started as a silent film-star, then she became a sound-star, and she eventually became superannuated and started to do camp movies [...] she became a joke on and of herself, but she survived."[5] This shows up in the line 'First you're another sloe-eyed vamp/ Then someone's mother/ then you're camp/ then you career from career to career/ I'm almost through my memoirs/ and I'm here!'

The Musters ran for two seasons, 1964-1966. FOLLIES ran on Broadway from 1971-1972 and Yvonne de Carlo was in it for the entire 15 month run. The video here appears to be a few years after the Broadway ran, perhaps mid 1970's.
