All You Need is Love

Once again, we have quite a treat.  While this doesn’t come from the time of the original production in 1945, but nine years later, it’s nonetheless the two original stars – John Raitt and Jan Clayton – recreating with costumes and sets the full, 12-minute number of “If I Loved You.”   It includes all the dialogue, the lead-in of “You’re a Queer One, Julie Jordan” and the ‘interlude” number that connects the two solos, all of which was left off the cast album.  It comes from a 1954 TV special General Foods 25th Anniversary Show: A Salute to Rodgers and Hammerstein.
