Dean Jones originated the role of Bobby in Stephen Soundheim’s, Company. Going through a divorce at the time the play opened on Broadway, Jones only stayed with the production for 2 weeks.
He did commit to returning to record the original Broadway cast soundtrack for the musical.
It’s an incredibly moving performance.
“…Somebody hold me too close…
Somebody hurt me too deep…
Somebody need me too much…
Make me alive!…”
Thank you, this was tremendous.
That was something very special. Beautiful.
Awe inspiring. It shows a side of Dean Jones I never knew existed.
He was waaay more talented than I ever knew…
Thanx, Fur!

I was lucky enough to see the original on Broadway with Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou. Best musical performance I’ve EVER seen.
Wonderful performance. He was truly a gifted man and very inspiring.
