Everything's Alright (Yvonne Elliman)

In ‘Everything's Alright’, Mary Magdalene--along with the wives of the married apostles--comforts Jesus, while Judas and Jesus contend about the use of expensive ointment.

The song is musically notable for its 5/4 time signature, similar to Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" (bah bap b' bah doot doo).

Yvonne Elliman, who played Mary Magdalene on the original cast album of Jesus Christ Superstar and in the Broadway and film versions, released a single of "Everything's Alright" in 1971, which reached #92 on the Billboard pop charts.
