[Intro]
Jule Styne was another one of my favorite composers
And he was a little guy with a, a huge talent and a big heart, you know?
I loved him
And he wrote great songs for strong female characters
In shows like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Bells Are Ringing
Gypsy, and of course Funny Girl, so
He also wrote a, a lesser-known musical called Hallelujah, Baby!
And there was a song in it called "Being Good Isn't Good Enough"
I relate to it as a performer, you know
Who, well, most performers, I think, feel the same way
You ask yourself every time you get on a stage
Will I be good enough?
Can I do this?
Will I live up to the audience's expectations?
It's true
It's okay, but I mean, it's, it's a very real feeling
