On April 28th, Josh Groban is releasing an album full of his interpretation of some of the most iconic Broadway tunes and movie musical numbers. Stages includes songs like Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz and What I Did for Love from A Chorus Line, but in a way that personifies his boisterous voice.
Another song off the record is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’s Pure Imagination and he just released the music video for it. I will openly admit, he is no Gene Wilder; but he comes really close. I just love the control that Groban has over his voice as he belts out the beautiful haunting tune. Plus, the way he hits the high notes, it’s like I found the Golden Ticket and got to eat the chocolate bar too.
Don’t you just love the way he used his pure imagination to make Pure Imagination come to life in his own special way?
