...and Charlie Smalls died at age 43 in 1987, so he had relatively limited time in which to write new musicals after THE WIZ hit in 1975. According to Wikipedia, "at the time of his death, Smalls was working on a new musical. He had begun working on MIRACLES, a musical adaptation of THE MAN WHO COULD WORK MIRACLES by H.G. Wells. He had recorded some songs with Geoffrey Holder and The Harlem Boys Choir." |
