SONGS BY JONES AND SCHMIDT
TOM JONES & HARVEY SCHMIDT
"DEMONSTRATION RECORDING, NOT FOR PUBLIC PERFORMANCE"
RARE Original Preview Demo LP with Variations
This recording contains a studio cast performing possibly for a Jones & Schmidt on or off-Broadway retrospective. This is a DEMO LP of 12 of their great Broadway shows' songs that was sent to pop singers of that era, to interest them in recording a song or songs from the show on their upcoming albums. These were often sung by non theatrical demo singers. Another album I had, had Peter Allen singing the demo songs, so these singers sometimes did go on to fame. It may be possible that some of the other cast members recorded the songs, although there are no credits listed to be certain. This obscure show Demo record came from an elderly gentleman who passed away and was deeply involved in theater productions all his life.

Composer Harvey Schmidt and lyricist Tom Jones are the legendary writing team best known for shaping the American musical landscape with their 1960 hit, The Fantasticks. The show, which was awarded Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre in 1991, is the longest running musical in history. Its best known song “Try To Remember,” has been recorded by hundreds of artists over the decades including Ed Ames, Harry Belafonte, Barbra Streisand and Placido Domingo. “Soon It’s Gonna Rain” and “They Were You” are also among the musical’s most recognized songs, for which Schmidt composed and Jones crafted the lyrics. In 1963 they wrote the Broadway show 110 in the Shade, which earned the duo a Tony Award nomination for Best Composer and Lyricist. I DO! I DO!, their two-character Broadway musical followed in 1967, also earning them a Tony Award nomination for Best Composer and Lyricist. In 1998, the duo was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame. Other awards and honors includean Obie Award, induction into the Broadway Hall of Fame, the ASCAP Richard Rodgers Award, and their “stars” added to the Off-Broadway Walk of Fame outside the Lucille Lortel Theatre in NYC.
