Put On Your Sunday Clothes by Jerry Herman - Improvised by pianist Charles Manning

“Put On Your Sunday Clothes” is from the 1964 Broadway musical “Hello, Dolly!” Jerry Herman wrote the music and lyrics. The book by Michael Stewart was based on Thornton Wilder’s 1938 “The Merchant of Yonkers.” In 1955, Wilder revised and retitled it as “The Matchmaker.” The story is about matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi, who travels to Yonkers, New York to find a match for “half-a-millionaire” Horace Vandergelder. The song “Put On Your Sunday Clothes” is a large production number sung in Act I by Dolly and ensemble. Carol Channing created her signature role as Dolly in the original Broadway cast. In 1965, Mary Martin played Dolly in London’s original West End production. Barbra Streisand portrayed Dolly in the 1969 film, which also featured Louis Armstrong performing a small part in the song “Hello, Dolly!” The show’s album “Hello, Dolly! An Original Cast Recording” hit No. 1 on the Billboard album chart in 1964, being replaced the very next week by Louis Armstrong’s album “Hello, Dolly!” At No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart with the song “Hello, Dolly!,” Armstrong became the oldest person (age 62) to ever reach that spot. For a time, the iconic Broadway show was the longest-running musical in Broadway history. In 2002, the original cast album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Through the years, the show has garnered many awards, and has had many revivals, tours, and international productions. Today, with a tip of the hat to Mothering Sunday in the UK, pianist Charles Manning improvises the song “Put On Your Sunday Clothes.” Award: Tony Award for Best Original Score (1964), Jerry Herman, Recipient
