Back in 1955 and 1957, Bagley, who was in his early 20's, dazzled critics with two brilliant Shoestring Revues produced Off-Broadway. Reviewers were mesmerized by the young man's uncanny ability to discover bright new talent (Beatrice Arthur, Chita Rivera, Dody Goodman, Arte Johnson, Paul Mazursky, Dorothy Greener, etc.) but also by his unerring taste in selecting their hilarious, sassy sketches and songs by future titans Sheldon Harnick, Michael Stewart, Charles Strouse, Lee Adams, Tom Jones, Harvey Schmidt and Arthur Siegel.
In 1971, Ben embarked on a new and impressive career. He founded Painted Smiles Records and since then has produced 47 highly distinctive albums of show tunes -- many of them never before recorded.
Just looking at the stellar list of composers and lyricists, Ben Bagley really did spread the wealth on Everyone Else Revisited. Filled with rarities and gems by not only some of the finest songwriters ever but many who are simply not known today, this delightful album is smaller and more intimate, having been produced towards the end of the series when it had become harder for Ben, money-wise, the fun cast includes the divine Nell Carter, the brilliant Dorothy Loudon, June Carroll, Arthur Siegel, The Populaires, Diane Carnevale and others. In addition to the songs on the original LP, Ben has added some songs from Rodgers and Hart's America's Sweetheart. (Kritzerland)
Like the other albums in this series, they have considerably spruced up the sound. For the CD release, Bagley went into the studio and recorded bonus material to fill out the CD length. And of course you get the great Harvey Schmidt artwork.
