Post a song using one word from the previous answer

My Man - Fanny Brice (My grandmother was a huge fan of hers. Grandma said that when she saw Fanny perform that song she wept and the audience wept along with her because they all knew Nicky Arnstein was a total stinker.)
 
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack

Holly, Fanny Brice was a big star of the vaudeville stage early in the 20th century. When radio came along, she starred in a really dumb
comedy called Baby Snooks. That was the name of her character. She was supposed to be a bratty little kid with a lot of wise guy lines, and
the show was pretty awful, but I gather a big hit in its day.

I think Funny Girl was based on her life. She had one of those stage mothers. Straining my memory here, not that I remember vaudeville days, but our theater group did a scene from Funny Girl, and I remember a scene with a pushy mother.
