GLAD TO BE UNHAPPY
Glad To Be Unhappyis a song from Rodgers &Hart's On YourvToes. It explores the ectasy and pain in some love relationships/ The relatively lengthy verse mentions " Taking it on the chin And losing that bright toothpaste grin, My mental state's all a jumble, I sst around and sadly mumble" then the main chorus starts with " Fools rush in and here am I ,very glad to be unhappy etc"
The clarity , phrasing and diction of Eydie Gorme's performance is wonderful, a tribute to the memory of a highly underrated singer and longtime wife and partner of Steve Lawrence.
