Mark Stryker Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) Having never heard the Don Patterson version of "People," I can't comment on the performance specifically. However, I can say for certain that there is no Stephen Sondheim song called "People." Sondheim did write lyrics to a song called "Some People" for the show "Gypsy" (1959) with music by Jule Styne, who also wrote the "People (Who Need People)" under discussion, with lyrics by Bob Merrill from the show "Funny Girl" (1964). Perhaps this is the source of the confusion. Surely the Patterson recording is the latter, right? The discography says it was recorded in May 1964, which is about six weeks after "Funny Girl" opened on Broadway. In a ridiculously arcane footnote, I can report that Sondheim also wrote a very early song (music and lyrics) called "The People Will Hear" when he was about 18 that appeared in a show called "All That Glitters" produced at Williams College in 1949 when he was a student there. Other Sondeim songs with the word "people" in the title include: "Silly People," which was cut from "A Little Night Music" (1973); "So Many People" from the show "Saturday Night," which was originally to be produced on Broadway in 1955 but abandoned when the producer died and finally staged for the first time in 1997 in London; and "Another Hundred People," an anthem from "Company" (1970) But I digress ...

HutchFan Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 CONGRATS, Mike!!! Thank you for developing this fantastic resource. If Don Patterson were here to see this, I'm certain he would be pleased! You've done him right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Wow - fascinating. I had no idea how frequently he recorded with Sonny Stitt. The Legends of Acid Jazz series, while glad we have it, makes sorting through this a bit challenging. Thanks for the clarity!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Thanks for the kind words. I just wanted to give Don some back for the many hours of pleasure he gave me with his music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 A fine album. I love Sonny Stitt's solo on the title track. And dig that typeface! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
