<P> "What I Did for Love" is a song from the musical A Chorus Line (music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban). It was quickly recognized for its show - business potential outside Broadway and was picked up by popular singers to include in their performances in their club and television appearances . Both female and male singers have made it an inclusion in their recorded albums to great effect . The Daily Telegraph described it as a "big anthem". </P> <P> In the penultimate scene of the production, one of the dancers has suffered a career - ending injury . The remaining dancers, gathered together onstage, are asked what they would do if they are told they can no longer dance . Diana Morales, in reply, sings this anthem, which considers loss philosophically, with an undefeated optimism; all the dancers concur . Whatever happens, they will be free of regret . What they did in their careers, they did for love, and their talent, no matter how great, was only theirs "to borrow", was to be only temporary and would someday be gone . But the love of performing is never gone . They are all pointed toward tomorrow . </P> <Ul> <Li> Beverly Bremers' version, was released as a single in 1975 . </Li> <Li> Bing Crosby - for his album Beautiful Memories (1977) </Li> <Li> Elaine Paige - included in her album Stages (1983) </Li> <Li> Engelbert Humperdinck - for his album Miracles (1977). </Li> <Li> Eydie Gormé - a single release in 1976 . </Li> <Li> Grace Jones - for her debut album Portfolio (1977) </Li> <Li> Howard Keel - for his album Just for You (1988). </Li> <Li> Jack Jones - in his album What I Did for Love (1975). </Li> <Li> Johnny Mathis - Feelings (1975) </Li> <Li> Marcia Hines - see below </Li> <Li> Peggy Lee - for her album Peggy (1977) </Li> <Li> Petula Clark - a single release in 1975 . </Li> <Li> Robert Goulet - in his album You're Something Special (1978). </Li> <Li> Shirley Bassey - Love, Life and Feelings (1976) </Li> </Ul>
