50 songs/50 Years of Kander and Ebb - Culturegeek - 07-27-2015 12:44 AM
It's the 50th anniversary of the Kander/Ebb collaboration, so someone posted a top 50 songs list. Any thoughts
Biggest suprise: No "Cell Block Tango"
Biggest disagreement: They chose the wrong songs from Kiss of the Spider Woman

I'm not overly familiar with Kander and Ebb's work, outside of their more popular productions (i.e., the ones that have been made into movies). But I do love "Maybe This Time". A wonderful, wonderful song. Although, I actually prefer Natasha Richardson's rendition, although I also love Sutton Foster's performance of the song in Bunheads (which is oddly not online, that I can find).

"Chief Cook and Bottle Washer" from The Rink was the first thing that came to mind in terms of an all-time favorite Kander/Ebb song - it's also, for my money, probably among the 10 all-time best female solos from a Broadway show - so I'm glad it's pretty high up there.

I wasn't really familiar with "Maybe This Time" until Chenoweth did it on Glee (had seen Cabaret years ago and forgot it I guess). It's just a classic, classic song. I love that the writer mentions how it can be viewed in different ways. While not a classic vocal, I love how it was used in Bates Motel as sung by Vera Farmiga:
