Beautifully stated, as always. I don’t know if it is fair to Ms. Clark. I just listened to a recent podcast BROADWAY TO MAINSTREET which was a 90th birthday tribute to Clark. It highlights her performances in Sunset Boulevard, Evita (on recording), Sound of Music and Finian’s Rainbow. I was bowled over by her musicianship, phrasing, power and intelligence. A big surprise was her recording of Corner of the Sky with Dusty Springfield (!) and the “B” side of Downtown which is You Better Love Me from High Spirits! And Whatever Lola Wants sung in French. Such a rich career.

Thank you for the kind words.

I will take it back about Clark. She is very good in the Finian's Rainbow film, even though I don't much care for the movie itself. Was thinking more of hearing not great things about her Norma Desmond, but some did like her in the role.

It wasn't till today that I quite realized how old she was when she played Maria. :)
