Buddy Rich going all out
on one of his unique song stylings,
Blues in the Night.
And now let's focus the spotlight
on another talented vocalist.
Only this one is a charmer,
pretty, petite and perky, Peggy King.
Greetings, everybody.
Hi, Jimmy. Hi, Harry.
Gee, Harry,
that golden trumpet of yours
is really all shined up.
Almost hurts my eyes to look at it.
What's up?
Well, I figured if you were going to sing
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,
the least I could do would be to get the old
horn in respectable shape.
You all set and raring to go?
Let us do the song.
Okay, Peg.
Take over the hall.
How did you like the song?
