| Bar Scene - Katherine Dunham, Tony Martin, Eartha Kitt - 143 sec
Melancholia in North Africa. Tony's depressed and no coaxing can get him out of the doldrums. Look for a "baby" Eartha Kitt as the girl who's first to break the line while mouthing some encouraging words to Mr. Martin.

| It Was Almost Like A Song - Johnny Hartman - 177 sec
I don't know what to say about Mr. Hartman. I'm literally at a loss for words. Just listen, and you'll know how I feel. Johnny Hartman sings this lovely ballad, later included in a recently famous movie. His voice kicks all the rest to the curb!

| It Only Takes a Moment - Emily Yancy, Jack Crowder and Cast - 179 sec
From the brilliant "Hello Dolly," starring Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway, here we have just a "slideshow" of the play and some of its performers. Saw this several times, and will attest to the fact that one of the dancing waiters was none other than the amazing Morgan Freeman! He "may be" the young man to Pearl Bailey's right hand, on one knee. I know he was actually "named, featured and mentioned as Rudolph," in the LP/CD production.
Beautiful Emily Yancy and handsome Jack Crowder, (later to be known as Thalmus Rasulala,) are the two lovers singing here.
