“Yes, even Livesessions is feeling the Christmas spirit and celebrate with the Supremes version of "My Favorite Things" originally from 1959. The song was first introduced by Mary Martin and Patricia Neway in the original Broadway production. The song ends with a borrowed line of lyric and notes from Rodgers' earlier composition with Lorenz Hart, "Glad to Be Unhappy". Using the same two notes for the phrasing of "so sad" in the original song, Rodgers brings the gloom of my "Favorite Things" to a similar upbeat ending-–-"and then I don't feel so bad." Jazz artist John Coltrane did an extended, close to fourteen-minute version in E minor on his 1961, it became a jazz classic. The Supremes version first appeared on their album "Merry Christmas" and has become quite popular during the Holiday Season. This clip is from The Ed Sullivan Show.”
