My awakening to this musical came in high school when our choir master - Sir Jun Ortega - asked us to perform "Aquarius." Before teaching us the song, he gave us a background on the song and musical, and from then on, the choir peeps would have listening sessions dedicated to the songs from there.
Today's Friday Magic Madness song is from "Hair." But what makes it special is that it's not the original artist, but a rendition made by a Filipina singer.
This version was performed by Sahlee Quizon, who is one of Dolphy's daughters. In 1971, she did her own rendition of "Good Morning Starshine." The first time I heard this song was in a CD entitled "Hits from Yesterday" by Vicor Records. The songs in that CD were so fun, memorable and cheesy - which made me buy it and love it even more.
So, this Friday morning is a good morning, thanks to this song.
