I always liked the Kander-Ebb song, "Maybe This Time." Here it is performed on the TV show Glee by Kristin Chenoweth and Lea Michele. The blonde guy at the piano is my buddy Brad Ellis, with whom I've occasionally written songs that were not quite as successful as this one. Just as the ladies are lip-syncing to pre-recorded voice tracks, Brad is miming the accompaniment, probably to his own playing.
Most folks associate the song with the musical, Cabaret but it was written by John Kander and Fred Ebb in the early sixties and recorded in 1964 by Liza Minnelli. When Cabaret was first produced in 1966, the song was not in it. Then in 1972 when the movie version was produced, the song was included and it was sung there by…Liza Minnelli. It has since turned up in many stage productions and become quite the show-stopper…
