Tiberi's band was excellent, but the video consists of still images from the event combined with the original Woody Herman orchestra featuring the great Rosemary Clooney:
composed by Billy Hill
You've got to give a little, take a little,
And let your poor heart break a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
You've got to laugh a little, cry a little,
Until the clouds roll by a little.
Thats the story of, thats the glory of love.
As long as theres the two of us,
Weve got the world and all its charms.
And when the world is through with us,
We've got each others arms.
You've got to win a little, lose a little,
Yes, and always have the blues a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
