I WAS THERE ON THAT NIGHT, SITTING IN THE BACK ROW OF THE UPPER EFFIE WHITE JENNIFER HUDSON
BALCONY. THE CAST WAS EXTRAORDINARY AND THE STAGING ELECTRIC, LORRELL ROBINSON ANIKA NONI ROSE
BUT WHAT I REMEMBER MOST CLEARLY IS THE EXCITEMENT OF HEARING THOSE C.C. WHITE KEITH ROBINSON
SONGS FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS WAS MUSIC UNLIKE ANYTHING THAT HAD BEEN MICHELLE MORRIS SHARON LEAL
HEARD IN THE THEATRE UP TO THAT POINT, A BLEND OF R&B, JAZZ, BLUES, BROADWAY,
WAYNE HINTON BATTLE
MAGIC MARIAH WILSON
GOSPEL, SOUL, DISCO AND YES, EVEN OPERA. THE COMPOSER WAS HENRY KRIEGER,
MAY YVETTE CASON
AND ONE OF THE GREAT THRILLS OF MAKING THIS FILM HAS BEEN THE CHANCE TO WORK MAX WASHINGTON KEN PAGE
WITH HIM, AND BECOME HIS FRIEND. HE IS – TO PUT A TWIST ON A FAMOUS SONDHEIM M.C. RALPH HARRIS
QUOTE – A MAN OF INFINITE TALENT AND UNLIMITED SOUL. TINY JOE DIXON MICHAEL-LEON WOOLEY

AND MATT SULLIVAN, THE PRODUCING TEAM OF HARVEY MASON, JR. AND DAMON THOMAS SAM WALSH JOHN KRASINSKI
(A/K/A THE UNDERDOGS) HAS IN MY OPINION BRILLIANTLY MET THE CHALLENGE RONALD WHITE ALEXANDER FOLK
OF UPDATING THE SOUND OF THE ORIGINAL SCORE, WHILE ALSO PLACING AUNT ETHEL ESTHER SCOTT

02 WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU

CURTIS
WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU
I SAID, “OH MY.”
I SAID, “OH MY, THAT’S A DREAM, THAT’S MY DREAM.”
I NEEDED A DREAM WHEN IT ALL SEEMED TO GO BAD
THEN I FOUND YOU
AND I HAVE HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DREAMS
ANY MAN’S EVER HAD
WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU
I SAID, “OH MY. OH MY, THAT’S MY DREAM, THAT’S MY DREAM.”
I NEEDED A DREAM TO MAKE ME STRONG
YOU WERE THE ONLY REASON
I HAD TO GO ON
YOU ARE MY DREAM
ALL THE THINGS I NEVER KNEW
YOU ARE MY DREAM
WHO COULD BELIEVE THEY COULD EVER COME TRUE?
AND WHO WOULD BELIEVE
THE WORLD WOULD BELIEVE IN MY DREAMS TOO?
WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU
I SAID, “OH MY, OH MY…
THAT’S MY DREAM.”

03 PATIENCE
C.C.
Listen,
I KNOW YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
SAME ONES AS ME
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?
HOW LONG WILL IT BE?
WHEN WILL COME THE MORNING
TO DRIVE THE NIGHT AWAY?
TELL ME WHEN WILL COME THE MORNING
OF A BRIGHTER DAY?
PATIENCE, LITTLE SISTER
PATIENCE, LITTLE BROTHER
PATIENCE, PATIENCE
TAKE EACH OTHER BY THE HAND
PATIENCE, LITTLE SISTERS
PATIENCE, LITTLE BROTHERS
LET US WALK TOGETHER
TO THE PROMISED LAND
JIMMY
THERE’S A RIVER TO CROSS
AND A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB
PATIENCE, PATIENCE
IT’S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME
LORRELL
WE MUST WALK IN PEACE
WE GOT TO WALK IN PEACE
IT’S THE ONLY, ONLY WAY
IF WE WANT TO SEE THAT MORNING
OF A BRIGHTER DAY OF A BRIGHTER DAY

04 I AM CHANGING
EFFIE
LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME
I AM CHANGING
TRYING EVERY WAY I CAN

I’M TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO UNDERSTAND
BUT I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU
I NEED A HAND
I AM CHANGING
SEEING EVERYTHING SO CLEAR
I AM CHANGING
I’M GONNA START RIGHT NOW RIGHT HERE
I’M HOPING TO WORK IT OUT AND I KNOW THAT I CAN
BUT I NEED YOU, I NEED A HAND
ALL OF MY LIFE I’VE BEEN A FOOL
WHO SAID I COULD DO IT ALL ALONE?
HOW MANY GOOD FRIENDS HAVE I ALREADY LOST?
AN’ HOW MANY DARK NIGHTS HAVE I KNOWN?
WALKING DOWN THAT WRONG ROAD
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD FIND
ALL THOSE YEARS OF DARKNESS
COULD MAKE A PERSON BLIND
BUT NOW I CAN SEE
I AM CHANGING
TRYING EVERY WAY I CAN
I AM CHANGING
AN’ I’LL BE BETTER THAN I AM
BUT I NEED A FRIEND TO HELP ME START ALL OVER AGAIN
OH, THAT WOULD BE JUST FINE
I KNOW IT’S GONNA WORK OUT THIS TIME
’CAUSE THIS TIME I AM, THIS TIME I AM
I AM CHANGING
I’LL GET MY LIFE TOGETHER NOW
I AM CHANGING
YES! I KNOW HOW
I’M GONNA START AGAIN
I’M GONNA LEAVE MY PAST BEHIND
I’LL CHANGE MY LIFE, I’LL MAKE A VOW
AND NOTHING’S GONNA STOP ME NOW
PERFECT WORLD

’CAUSE JIMMY GOT SOUL, JIMMY GOT SOUL
JIMMY GOT JIMMY GOT JIMMY GOT SOUL
SOONER OR LATER THE TIME COMES AROUND
FOR A MAN TO BE A MAN

I LIKE JOHNNY MATHIS BUT I CAN’T DO THAT STUFF
’CAUSE JIMMY GOT SOUL JIMMY GOT SOUL
