Now the wheels in my head have been turning Gaston: LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinkingīut that wacky old coot is Belle's father Gaston: I use antlers in all of my decorating! Gaston: When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggsĪnd now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs Gaston: I'm especially good at expectorating! Ptoooie! LeFou: In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston LeFou: Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny.Īnd every last inch of me's covered with hair! Gaston: As you see, I've got biceps to spare In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston!īimbettes: For there's no one as burly and brawny LeFou: Gaston is the best and the rest is all drips! Give five "hurrahs!" Give twelve "hip-hips!" LeFou and Chorus: My what a guy, that Gaston! Gaston: As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!

No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gastonįor there's no man in town half as manly!Īnd they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on! Much comparison was made between the vocal (not to mention the facial) resemblance between Ross and Jackson here's the only place to hear them together.LeFou: Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, Gaston The result was a Top 40, gold-selling album paced by a Top 40 single of "Ease on Down the Road" by Ross and Jackson (outperforming the 1975 version by Consumer Rapport), as well as the chart single "You Can't Win," by Jackson. Jones organized a studio band of New York jazz veterans, including Toots Thielemans, Eric Gale, Michael Brecker, and Richard Tee, and of course the cast provides spectacular vocal firepower in the persons of Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. But you wouldn't know that from this elaborate double-LP soundtrack album, on which Smalls' Broadway score is augmented by music written by producer Quincy Jones, Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson, and Luther Vandross. Director Sidney Lumet's big-budget film version of The Wiz, an updated musical treatment of The Wizard of Oz with songs by Charlie Smalls, is not remembered as one of the great movie musicals.
