“So Long, Farewell” is a song from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s 1959 musical, The Sound of Music. It was included in the original Broadway run and was first performed by the Von Trapp children, played by Kathy Dunn, David Gress, Evanna Lien, Mary Susan Locke, Lauri Peters, Marilyn Rogers, Joseph Stewart, and Frances Underhill. “So Long, Farewell”, “The Lonely Goatherd”, and “Do-Re-Mi” are the only songs which predominantly feature the Von Trapp children. They first perform the song on their own late in the first act for their parents’ party guests; when it is reprised near the end of the second act they are joined by Maria (Mary Martin) and The Captain (Theodore Bikel). #follow #music #song #ost #movie

Judy Garland performs “For Once In My Life” on The Mike Douglas Show in 1968. What normally sounds like an optimistic, upbeat song in the Stevie Wonder version, here sounds like a heart-wrenching rendition that is less forward-thinking and places equal emphasis on the past 😢💔
