"DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA" is a song first recorded by Julie Covington for the 1976 concept album, Evita, and was later included in the 1978 musical of the same name. The song was written and composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice while they were researching the life of Argentinian leader Eva Perón. It appears at the opening and near the end of the show, initially as the spirit of the dead Eva exhorting the people of Argentina not to mourn her, and finally during Eva's speech from the balcony of the Casa Rosada.   Many other artists including Elaine Paige, Barbra Streisand, Sarah Brightman, Stephanie Lawrence and Madonna (amongst others) went on to record this song
