“Many consider this song to be the best Kander and Ebb song ever written. It is a tour de force torch ballad, and I loved performing it,” shared Osmond. To accompany Minnelli’s “But the World Goes ‘Round,” Osmond also covered Judy Garland’s “Over the Rainbow” to pay tribute to the mother and daughter who made an indelible impression on her throughout her career.
