Description
The second and final part of our look at songs that escaped the shows they were written for brings us to arguably one of the greatest songs never to be performed on Broadway -- "Meadowlark" from the ill-fated Stephen Schwartz musical The Baker's Wife.

All clips are from Lindsay Mendez's 2017 performance of "Meadowlark" at Feinstein's/54 Below and are used in accordance with the Fair Use Exemption for criticism and commentary. Watch Lindsay Mendez perform "Meadowlark" at 54 Below. Buy/stream the album on Amazon! Listen to the SMSTS playlist on Spotify.
