Some numbers, to be sure, are traditional. Fadeev does two swooping solos to classical music in billowing black blouses, both with back flips and swanlike dying falls.

...industry, including a stint as a member of the Ivy Three, a pop group that recorded a 1960 hit, Yogi, about the cartoon bear. As a music executive in the 1970s, Koppelman produced such hits as Dolly Parton's Here You Come Again and the Barbra Streisand-Neil Diamond duet You Don't Bring Me Flowers...
