Summary: Oldest Profession 2008-03-07
Comment: It's about hookers. Honestly, it is, really! But it's a fantastic take on things, and "My Body" stands out by far as one of the best songs on the album. If you can find the video from The Rosie O'Donnell Show of the girls singing this song, watch it. It's what got me hooked on it. Sam Harris never fails to impress either.

Summary: Almost as good as the live show 2006-12-03
Comment: A lovely CD. I saw the show on Broadway and wish some of the arrangements on the CD were as rich as they developed on stage, especially "Why Don't They Leave Us Alone" was much more powerful and fully worked out on stage. Still, this is worthwhile musical cast recording to own.

Summary: Cy Colemans worst 2006-07-21
Comment: There was only one reason to see The Life, that was for the great Lillias White, who desevedly won a Tony. Other than White, the rest is a dismall bomb. Mr. Coleman was clearly at the end of his long and distinguished career. Hard to beleive this drek is from the composer of Sweet Charity, Barnum, Little Me, City of Angels and Seesaw (to name a few).Also hard to believe this score was even nominated for a Tony, along side Titanic and Steel Pier (which in my opinion has an amazing score and deserved a far longer run than it had). It was a bad year for musicals. Stay away from this waste.

Summary: How Did "Titanic" Beat This? 2005-08-14
Comment: 1997's Tony Award for Best Musical goes to ... "Titanic"?
Cy Coleman & Ira Gasman's terrific score for "The Life" is much stronger than that season's other productions: "Steel Pier" and the aforementioned "Titanic". Maybe the Book needed work. Fortunately, the show will be remembered for its outstanding performances by Tony-Winners Lillias White & Chuck Cooper along with Tony-Nominees Pamela Isaacs & Sam Harris.
Best tracks include:
The Oldest Profession
My Body
He's No Good
I'm Leaving You
"Someday" Is For Suckers
My Friend
Though not as strong as some of Mr. Coleman's other scores ("Sweet Charity", "City Of Angels", & "The Will Rogers Follies" come to mind), you'll be hooked after a couple of listens! Let's hope this show gets revived ... and soon!
