I was living in Chicago in 1979 and was watching the MDA telethon and Joey appeared in the middle of her perfromance WGN (which was carrying the telethon) broke in with a pledge break. One of the hosts said, "We hate to break into Joey's performance." I didn't mind the pledge breaks during the Cubs game but good lord couldn't they broke in when Wayne Newton was on.

@tallpaul521 True but...No matter the name the name of the song, this is in my opinion the greatest video of Joey Heatherton at her BEST!!1 Singing live and dancing like that completely blows me away. I don't think we'll ever see anything like Joey again. Jimmy.

Seems like they used to have more entertainment during the MDA telethon.

WHAT a performer - what an underated one at that - her kicks are amazing - she's singing live and with her energetic dancing that couldn't have been easy. She was talented in dancing, singing, and acted well to boot. Sorry, but there aren't many young performers today who can do what she did on a stage.

Joey was hot!
I hope someone before me has enlightened the originator of this clip. The song is "I GO TO RIO" by my friend Peter Allen...NOT "Blame It On Rio".which was a film.
