Song of the Day: 'Spread a Little Sunshine' from "Pippin''

a mother's song for her son in 'pippin'. this was not exactly my mom but hell it is was someone's mother.

i love the musical 'pippin. it was the broadway show that introduced me to both jill clayburgh and then betty buckley, her replacement, as catherine the role of pippin's love interest.  the original starred john rubinstien in the title role but william katt admirably replaced him in this video adaptation. 

it remains in my top 10 broadway shows of all time.

here is chita rivera in the role of pippin's stepmother fastrada.
