Leslie Uggams - Your Too Tall and I'm Too Small

Here is a great performace from the March 6, 1954 episode of "Your Show of Shows". You will never see this on video since only the Sid Caesar clips from that series are being released on DVD. This is just before she retired from the business at the ripe old age of 12. She came back in the early '60s and has had an amazing career, including a lead role in "Roots".

This clip is introduced by the episodes guest star, movie actor Zachary Scott.

In this clip she performs with The Billy Williams Quartet. This clip is from the last time that the series was broadcast on TV when TVLand first started. The network once focuses on showing truly classic TV and included a lot of classic commercials.

ENJOY!
