I'll send a resounding Amen in response to this video. Mr. Hairston is a hero of mine. I simply loved the man and the profound enjoyment he has brought me through his music over the years puts me forever in his debt. A great American hero in my estimation!
Jester Hairston was the soul of artistry and dignity. I'll never forget him on the "Tonight Show" telling the story of coming to Hollywood at behest of legendary composer Dimitri Tiomkin.
Political correctness precludes me from repeating Dr. Hairston's story, but I rarely saw Johnny Carson enjoy a guest so much.
Jester Hairston was a supreme talent and a wonderful American.

Some of the narrator's comments are erroneous. It's Lilies of the FIELD, not Valley- and it's Sidney Poitier, not Harry Belefonte.
