Out Of His Hair

Happy birthday, Galt MacDermot. A composer, his best-known work by far is Hair, the Broadway blockbuster from which sprang, in the late 60s alone, a #1 ("Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In"), #2 ("Hair"), #3 ("Good Morning Starshine") and #4 ("Easy To  Be Hard") hit.

Before all the hits, the covers, the revivals, was the original off-Broadway version that no one had any right to expect to go much further.  It was retooled for Broadway (with some nudity added) and became the hit of the season.  Go figure.
