One of my all time favorites–so nicely done. I would put this down as one of Bette’s ‘greatest hits’. It’s really a treat to hear her sing it live–I don’t think she sang it live very often.
No not often. I was at the show before The Showgirl officially opened (can’t remember what you call that) but she sang it then and to me it was a highlight. However walking out with Bruce Vilanch the bigwigs were freaking out because the show ran over by 9 minutes or so, and I remember telling Bruce please don’t cut Some People’s Lives and of course it was cut….lol
Love that story Don! It’s always been one of my favorites too. One of those I play for people I’m trying to convert haha… File this under one of the many questions in her career but I too dont’ understand why this was left off of Jackpot (as well as To Deserve You and My One True Friend). They were going for a ballad heavy greatest hits anyway so it would have only made since to include them. Oh well… shoulda woulda coulda.
