Mr. Herb Jeffries,
83 years old
ladies and gentlemen
Thank you God bless you
Thank you. Thank you, Merv.
I love you.
Now, Herb, you started off with people
like Duke Ellington,
and you still work with Mercer Ellington,
his son.
That's right.
And yet, at some point you decided
you wanted to be a singing cowboy.
Tell me why.
Okay, well Merv, tell me,
what kid deep down in his heart
doesn't want to ride off into
the sunset
in a western movie and be a cowboy?
How did you like the song?
