Hi tpirfan2004 -

Last hour of CMN 89 is the only CMN I have. I had taped more of it but had reused that tape at the end of the summer for MDA, so it was actually when I was transferring the MDA89 footage to DVD that I discovered that Tony Orlando footage. I have some other ideas where you might get it, I'll private message you.

OMG!! I was @ this show! I love it!! I am such a Joyce Vincent-Wilson fan. I love her so much. Joyce is such a class act person and a beautiful woman and a wonderful singer. I see that Joyce is on the Former Ladies Of The Supremes, I hope to see them live Joyce has always been a Supreme! I also remember I had XM radio on a song playing called: Give Me Just Alittle More Time by : Chairman Of The Board and the DJ mention that Joyce and her sister Pam did the background vocals, So I go there CD!

A few months later, Telma Hopkins would begin her run as "Rachel Crawford" on "Family Matters". She would be a member of the principle cast of "Family Matters" until its fourth season. Telma Hopkins also yelled the famous exclamation, "Shut 'yo mouth"! during the "Shaft" theme.

@FutureNewsAnchor They also used "Wish" as a main theme when they were in Disneyland from 1987-95. After that, they went to Orlando, before that, they went to the Osmond Studios in Utah, and used different music for those years. Jim Brickman wrote the CMN Champions theme, which has been used from 1996-present. Wish we could get our hands on orchestrations of both!
