Rodin used to say of Camille, "I showed her where
to find the gold, but the gold she found was truly her own." The song Gold is the eleven o'clock
number in the show, and the song has taken on a life of its own. It was first released as the title track of
Linda Eder's 2002 album, and she has performed it often in concert. The song received its international
debut at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Linda then released a new recording of the song
on her 2003 album, "Broadway, My Way."
