Gave one that some thought.
But surely, owned by Jennifer Holliday from the original stage version?

I thought the MoPo members might enjoy seeing the poll from
my latest
e-mail club message (it goes to over 5,000 movie paper
collectors). You
can post your vote here (of course for it to count in the
official poll,
you have to be a member of my e-mail club). You can join
at
http://www.emovieposter.com/mail/clubsignup.php
Here's the poll question:
What song do you personally think was the greatest to ever
appear in a
musical movie?
We previously have asked club members about their favorite
movie "score"
(as opposed to "soundtrack") and favorite song
from a non-musical. This
week, we thought it only fair to ask about your favorite
song that IS
from a musical.
IMPORTANT! This is kind of tricky! We are looking for a
single song that
was either written for a specific movie musical, or was
written earlier,
but has become SO identified with one movie musical it was
used in that
everybody connects that song to that movie!
We are arbitrarily eliminating songs that are from movies
that are
primarily dramas, but which have a bunch of songs added to
it (like
almost all Barbra Streisand movies, which is certainly
nothing against
Barbra, just that we are trying to stick to actual
musicals, where the
drama element is sort of secondary to the musical content)
so please
don't vote for any NON-musicals, or drama movies with
musical content,
as outlined above (and we realize this is completely
arbitrary and
unfair, and you are welcome to argue with us in the
comments field, but
please don't vote for these types of songs)!
In this poll more than any other we have ever run, there
are truly
thousands of songs that COULD be chosen, and our below list
is just
intended to jog your memory, and is no way comprehensive
(even WITHIN a
specific movie, where we have picked one or two songs, but
there might
be five others you might consider voting for JUST FROM THAT
MOVIE), so
we fully expect there to be lots of "other"
votes, and that is great!
Finally know that we are absolutely NOT asking which of the
following
movies you liked the best, but which SONG you liked the
best from one of
these musical movies or from any other!
