@motownfan5 I believe that she was preparing for her appearance on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour (I'm not sure about this and will have to do some research).

Merry Christmas.

@Juliaflo Thanks for the info...any idea when and where she had the opportunity to meet Nat King Cole ?? I'm big on Motown history. Last question, She often calls BB King "uncle BB" what is that about ?? She was headlining in Miami Beach when I was in college back in the 70's and she referred to BB king as "uncle BB" whom was on the same billing.For the record BB upstaged her.I'd never had seen BB in concert the man was unreal.BB King is/was a hard act to follow.

@motownfan5 No, it was Nathaniel Adams Coles, better known as Nat 'King' Cole.

[motownfan5]

@Juliaflo Was it BB King ??

I remember my 2nd grade class did this song for a school program.wow, that was so long ago!

Sorry. She said "Mup-pips". Get it?

I just looked at Gladys Knight's performance on "The Muppet Show" of this song. It's pretty cool how she's singing with the Muppets, or she calls "Mupp-hips". LOL!
