I'll just tag on this Bernstein\West Side Story from the same series, 2016.

Somewhere - 2023
Soul Music - Series 3

Leonard Bernstein's hit from West Side Story, that yearns for a better world, has come to have special significance for many.
From Mary Wilson of the Supremes who found it a fitting tribute to Martin Luther King, to the mother who sings it at the end of long frustrating days with her beloved autistic son.
Plus, Stephen Sondheim and Bernstein's daughter Nina discuss writing the lyric and the relatively bad critical response to it.

Also taking part:
Mary Dhonau
Peter Dhonau
Humphrey Burton
Steve Nallon
Clive Snelling
Adrienne Snelling
Graham Clarke

Series about music that makes the hairs stand up on the back of our necks.
