This song is actually from a show called "I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road" by Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford. And I saw Betty in it when I was barely a teen. And that moment singing this song changed this songwriter's life forever.
I saw it 5 times. My favorite shows were the ones where we could talk with the cast afterward. I got to know Betty a bit, Kay Cole and Margot Rose. I still have the book music that Betty signed for me on SMILE, one of my favorite songs from the show. I’ve heard every incarnation that was recorded and nobody came close vocally. It was a sad night for me, but a happy one for her when the phone call came to do Cats right before a performance. I had no idea what that show was but had no doubts that Betty would be wonderful.
