Schwartz was moved to make this single happen after hearing Garnyé sing the tune, originally written as a standalone song for Cass Morgan, at the Vanguard Voice Award ceremony. The Wicked composer had two versions of the single recorded, a full orchestral version, and another, more intimate arrangement featuring Schwartz on piano. The single is featured in the film Jimmy and Carolyn, now available for streaming.
“Stephen Schwartz has a way of writing songs that remain timeless,� says Club44 co-founder and single co-producer Wayne Haun in a statement. “Their impact and relevance are forever. There are also voices that are timeless� voices so unique one can hear only a phrase and immediately identify the singer. That’s Julie Garnyé. Combine the talents of these two brilliant souls and something magical happens that cannot be explained, but must be experienced.�
Garnyé's stage credits include Les Misérables at the Hollywood Bowl, Hair, Chess, Children of Eden, Pippin, and Cats. She regularly appears in Jim Caruso's Cast Party at Birdland Jazz.
