Although, this would only be for a single. Like the one Cliff did for ALW and Phantom. I would guess that it could be included in a celebrity album like the one that was put together for Whistle Down The Wind.

Michael Crawford and DOTV was much more dangerous because he was actually the star of the show. There are some who blame him for what happened next. Perhaps unfairly.

I can't remember where I heard it. It may have been Ryan posting on the board ages ago. But apparently Jim wanted Crawford more than anyone. He flew to London to talk Crawford into playing Krolock and then paid for Crawford to fly to New York out of his own pocket.

Actually, Crawford would be perfect to sing one of the Tchaikovsky power ballads from Nutz but I doubt that he and Jim will ever work together again.

Does Crawford even mention DOTV in interviews?
