| "All of My Life" actually written by Jule Styne for the show "Do Re Mi" not long after "Gypsy" is practically a male version of "Rose's Turn", except I don't think it's a particularly good song. It was done originally by Phil Silvers and at Encores by Nathan Lane. It's a serious, soul-searching number in a mostly very funny show, meant to be a show-stopper but I think kind of stops it in the wrong way. There have been quite a number of big showstoppers for males -- "The Impossible Dream", "Make Them Hear You", among the more dramatic ones, and there are comedic ones as well. |
