Another piece of the puzzle of the restored original cast recording of "Follies". Literally compressed for time, the original LP recordings cut many things, including the dramatic middle section of "Losing My Mind", really as unfortunate as the cut verses of "I'm Still Here" and "Buddy's Blues". Using the OC recording and editing in the middle section from a very good live performance, here is the complete "Losing My Mind" by Dorothy Collins; though she did record it complete for the "Tribute" album, this is substantially better. Rather like the restored DVD of "A Star is Born", I've completed this at a level that could be issued if legal problems were solved, and no doubt better source materials may exist that would improve it even beyond what I've done. Hope that happens some time, it should have been the greatest cast album ever recorded. I'm posting this hoping for enough demand that that may happen. Some day.. + Informações

Dorothy Collins rushed to Canada during a day off from TV's "Your Hit Parade" to do "The Jackie Rae Show" on January 18, 1956, where she sang her new single "Seven Days." Although the single generated nice sales it didn't enter the top 7 so Dorothy could sing it on "Your Hit Parade," a record held by Dorothy's Hit Parade co-star, Gisele MacKenzie, who had her recording of "Hard to Get" hit the top 7 the year before. Snooky Lanson, another of Dorothy's Hit Parade co-stars, recorded "Seven Days" for Dot Records, but his version didn't begin to rival Dorothy's Coral release. Dorothy also sings a couple other songs in this video, the classic I Concentrate on You and But Not for Me (which was included on her Coral LP, Songs by Dorothy Collins. Sorry about the timing strip on this rare video. Note Dorothy has a handky for a prop, much like torch singer Helen Morgan used.. + Informações
