Start Spreading the News ...

I bet you can hear those trumpets now, just from reading that title.  And soon, images of the rat pack, Times Square, and the '50s are running through your head, along with Frank Sinatra's voice.  But what would you say if I told you that song was originally written for Liza Minelli in 1977?  Broadway.com has a great article about the debate over who sings this song better, along with an official decision from the song's composer -- none other than three time Tony winner John Kander, who co-wrote the song with his writing partner Fred Ebb.  Enjoy!
