"Glad to Be Unhappy" is a popular song composed by Rodgers and Hart.
[1] It was introduced in their 1936 musical On Your Toes, sung by Doris Carson and David Morris,[2][3] although it was not popular at the time, as there was only one recording of the song.
The song was performed in the 1954 Broadway revival by Kay Coulter and Joshua Shelley.
[4] Originally recorded for an appearance on "Rodgers and Hart Today", an episode of ABC Stage 67, the Mamas and the Papas' version of the song was released as a single at the end of 1967, reaching #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
However, the song does not appear on that album; it was instead used to promote the group's second greatest hits package, entitled Golden Era Vol.
