Richard Nixon sings (and plays) "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to DUKE ELLINGTON at the White House

This video clip somehow humanizes "Tricky Dick" in a manner that is most unexpected. I must admit that my opinion of him went up (just a bit) after watching this. And were you aware that Nixon PLAYED PIANO ?

I've seen other clips of The Ol' Trickster tickling the ivories.  This one's extra special, though.
