Taken from a 1986 recording of a Reading Rainbow episode. This segment features Ben Vereen singing and dancing. Originally from 1983 I think.

Thanks for this segment. This took me back to when I was 6. This was my favorite episode along with the book where the one legged stranger was making music with a comb and tissue. Ben Vereen was in his prime then. Cocaine is a helluva drug.

@critical4u2kno You're very welcome! It takes me back also. I watched this show every day when I was on summer vacation from elementary school.

I miss the awesome shows of the 80's and REALLY miss the awesome playground equipment!!! Yeah it gave you splinters and was sometimes dangerous, but it was so fun! The stuff kids have now is boring and full of static electricity. :-\

Ben Vereen is the man!

You wouldn't happen to have this whole episode would you? This is by far my FAVORITE episode on Reading Rainbow.

This was actually the first episode of Reading Rainbow. I still love this song over 20 years later.
