'Fresh Air' pays tribute to the music of John Kander and Fred Ebb

Corrected on 2023-04-27 00:00:00

In this tribute to John Kander, we played the song "He Always Comes Home to Me" from a collection of Kander songs titled Hidden Treasures.

Following the broadcast, we heard from Emond that although she had at one point performed that song in an early production of the show, she was not the singer on this recording, and that she had been mis-identified in the album credits when that collection of Kander songs was released. As of yet, we have not been able to track down the name of the actual singer.
