You ready for a jam session?

All right, let's get back now.

Get ready to clap your feet and your hands,

[LIONEL HAMPTON AND HIS BAND]

[APPLAUSE]

-Thank you very much.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, it

gives me great pleasure to present to you one

of the country's biggest and most outstanding

record artists.

A young lady whose records have created quite a sensation all

over this old country of ours.

She's here with us tonight.

Here she is, Miss Faye Adams.

How are you, Faye?

Nice to have you here, dear.

What are you going to sing for us tonight.

-Well, I guess it's Every Day.

-Every Day.

Nice work if you can get it. Every Day, Faye Adams.

[ FAYE ADAMS, EVERY DAY]

- Every day a heart somewhere is broken.

I'm sorry that this time it's mine.

I'm so in love with you every day.

I know our love's dying.

Oh, darling can't you hear me crying?

I'm so in love with you.

Now don't you believe me when I tell you

that I've got all my trust in you?

Yes, you knew it from the start, so darling

please don't break my heart.

Every day must I wait here by myself?

Oh darling, there's nobody else.

I'm so in love with you.

Now, don't you believe me when I tell you

that I've got all my trust in you?

Yes, you knew it from the start, so darling,

please don't break my heart.

Every day must I wait here by myself?

Oh darling, there's nobody else.

I'm so in love with you.

Until you come back to stay, I'll be waiting every day.

-And now, ladies and gentlemen, I'd

like to introduce to you at this time one of the finest dances

that you've ever seen.

Now to stand here and make a long, long speech about him

would really be keeping you away from a great treat.

What with his many Broadway appearances, nightclubs,

and theaters throughout the country,

I bet you've seen him before.

If you haven't you're in great treat right now.

Freddie, open the curtains, and let's bring on Bill Bailey.

-A little bit of Bojangles.

Now Do that, buddy.

Here's what Bojangles calls skipping down Main Street.

Used to love this one.

That's one of my that he would do.

step.

Ain't it boys?

Bring me on home!

-I'm especially happy to present the next artist to you,

because I've known him for many, many years.

I've watched his rise to stardom and many various stages

of his life.

He started out as a nightclub singer

in the theaters way back many years ago,

when he first went on an amateur contest.

Today he's one of the big names in the business.

So here he is, Herb Jeffries.

[MUSIC - HERB JEFFRIES, IN MY HEART (THERE'S A SONG)]

- In my heart there's a song,

and it all belongs to you.

In my heart there's a thing and a dream that you made true.

Now I know I must confess to you in this life I'll never find

one who has such loveliness as you.

In this world, in this mind, in my heart there's a song,

and it speaks of your love, of your lips, of your arms,

of a love I've never known.

Then it sings to me like a symphony.

Then it ends and begins in my heart.

In my heart there's a voice and it speaks of your love,

of your lips, of your arms, of a love I've never known.

Then it sings to me like a symphony.

Then it ends and begins in my heart.

-Just a minute.

Wait a minute, honey.

I want--

-No!

What is this?

What is this?

-Now, you don't go hollering, what is this?

What is this?

What does it look like?

This is me.

That's what it is.

-Well.

-This ain't the flying saucer.

This is the sailing dishpan, honey.

-Well, sail on, honey.

-Oh, I'm me, and I'm just sailing all around,

all over the place-- here, there.

I'm sailing all over.

-What's all this sailing about?

-Well, you see I was in to see my doctor this morning.

-Oh yeah?

-Yeah.

He looked me over, examined me real good.

-Uh-huh.

-Then he put me out the office.

He says, man, go ahead get out right quick.

Go ahead, pick up and enjoy yourself while you've got time.

-Uh-huh.

-So I'm just sailing 'round and picking up here,

there, and every--

-Wait a minute, fella.

Cool down.

What did you pick up in California?

-Well they wasn't putting down nothing in California.

-You're telling me.

-Yeah, but I picked up and left from there in a hurry.

-I know all about it.

-Ah, but wasn't I glad to get back to good, old New York.

-Well, who wouldn't be?

-Yeah, good, old New York.

No sooner than I stepped off the plane

there-- right in the station.

There was a man standing right in the station selling

five dollar bills for fifty cents.

-How about that?

-Yeah.

-Well how could that fella do that?

-How could he do it?

They can do anything in New York to make a living.

-Oh, they can?

-They don't ask you how you got it.

-No?

-All they want to know is have you got it?

-And they waiting for you.

You better bring it with you when you come here, too.

-There must have been something phony about those bills.

-Oh no, I wouldn't say they was phony?

-No?

-No, they was just seconds, that's all.

-Seconds?

-Yeah, well you see they made a misprint on the bill.

-Uh-huh.

-Yeah, you see they had Lincoln's

head printed upside down on there.

-So what?

-His mustache was where his eyebrows should be.

-No kidding?

-He looks just like John L. Lewis from the factory.

-Oh, what?

-Yeah, but I'm going to get me a whole basket of full of them

bills, and I'm going on back out West,

and I'm going to do like the Doctor said-- pick up and have

a good time while I got time.

Well, what's wrong with you, Freddie?

-I can't keep up with those nice, beautiful girls like I

used to.

You know-- doing that mambo and all that.

-Oh, Freddy, I'm surprised at you worrying about the girls.

-Well, I don't see nothing else in the world be learning.

Yeah, I'm--

-Well, I'm here.

-Yeah, I see you.

There's nothing wrong with me.

-I should say not.

I should say not.

You are-- oh my!

-Don't you remember that old saying?

-What old saying? -You know.

They say a woman is like a street car.

You miss one here, another one along any minute.

-Oh, just like street cars.

Just like-- yeah, but I'm scared by the time I get there,

they'll all be going back to the car barn for repairs.

-Oh, no.

-Oh yeah.

-Well, don't let that worry you.

-No, I won't I mean, after all, you know-- you're all right.

-Well, I hope I am.

-Yes, indeed.

I'm telling you.

I'm honest as I can be--

-Well, what about your doctor?

What did he tell you to do?

-Well, he told me to go head on and enjoy myself,

but I can't get back there.

-Oh, you can't?

-No.

Well, you poor fellow.

I really feel sorry for you.

-Yeah, don't worry about nothing no more, huh?

-I should say not.

-Yeah.

-Well, why don't you try doing the mambo?

-Yeah.

-See how easy it is?

-Si, si, senorita.

Look at that.

-Just, uh, follow me.

-Oh, yes.

That's real nice.

Oh, I'm into it.

-You got it all right, Mac?

-I don't know.

I think I am.

-Don't I send you?

-You send me all right, honey.

But I'm scared I'm too week to take a trip.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next artist

is one of the great names in the blues and rhythm field,

although the tune he's going to play now is a real bouncy one.

But it carries a very important message.

And I want to listen to it.

Here he is-- Amos Milburn.

[MUSIC - AMOS MILBURN, BAD, BAD WHISKEY]

Bad, bad whiskey-- bad, bad whiskey-- bad,

bad whiskey made me lose my happy home.

When I left my home this morning I

promised I would think to stay real straight and sober.

I swore I wouldn't drink.

Bad, bad whiskey-- bad, bad whiskey-- bad,

bad whiskey made me lose my happy home.

I passed up all the pool halls gave the boys the slip.

Before the night was over, I started

into sip bad, bad whiskey.

Bad, bad whiskey-- bad, bad whiskey

made me lose my happy home.

My buddy had a party.

The cats were on the loose.

I started out with soda and ended up all juiced.

Bad, bad whiskey-- bad, bad whiskey-- bad,

bad whiskey made me lose my happy home.

My baby's gone and left me.

Man, I feel so sad.

Now the blues have got me.

And I sure got them bad.

Bad, bad whiskey-- bad, bad whiskey-- bad, bad whiskey

made me lose my happy home-- made

me lose my happy home-- made me lose

my happy home-- made me lose my happy home.

-Friends, did you ever pass a theater or a nightclub

when someone was coming out, and you'd hear expression used, say

didn't she sing like a lark?

Well, if that expression holds true,

you're in for some good singing, because I take pleasure

in presenting to you at this time The Larks.

Here they are.

[MUSIC - THE LARKS, WAITING FOR THE SUNRISE]

All world is waiting for the sunrise.

Every rose is covered with dew.

The thrush on high, his sleepy mate is calling,

and my heart is calling you.

-Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise.

Every rose is covered with dew.

The thrush on high, his sleepy mate is calling,

and my heart is calling you.

Dear one, the world

is waiting for the sunrise.

Every rose is covered And with dew.

The thrush on high, his sleepy mate is calling,

and my heart is calling you.

The stars may be shining in the sky of blue,

but we will still be calling you.

Yes, you.

- Yes, you.

We're calling Mr. Sunlight-- Sunlight!

-Thank you, boys.

Thank you.

Well, I can say one thing, ladies and gentleman--

that song was quite contrary to their voices,

because The Larks are never without a song.

I'd like to introduce a couple of our cast to you

right now, because I want to know them like I know them.

Flo? FLO: Yes, Willie?

-Come here.

Freddie?

Come here.

-How are you both?

-Oh, fine Willie.

-You know, you kids were running in

and out of the show spatting.

And I bet that a lot of people in the audience hate you.

-No, wait.

Me?

-And maybe some people hate you.

-Oh.

-But in true life they're really wonderful people,

and they are married.

-Oh yes.

-Yeah, how about the marriage, huh?

-Well, you know how love life is.

-How?

-It starts off when you sink in his arms.

-Yes.

-And winds up with your arms in the sink.

-What do you say, fella?

-Oh, Willie, I'll tell you the truth.

You know-- marriage, like-- it's too many rings in it for me.

-Too many rings?

-Yes.

-What do mean?

-Well, first there's the engagement ring.

-Right.

-And then the wedding ring.

-Right.

-And then the suffering.

-But he's great though, isn't he?

-Oh, yes he is, Willie.

-I don't know.

I still think I got tricked into my marriage still, Willie.

-Hey, that brings something back to my mind.

I heard a fantastic story.

I wish you would enlighten me on it.

-What's that?

-Is it true that your little brother, when Freddie was

courting you, slipped the minister down to the house,

and he got down behind the sofa?

-That's right.

-Then the little brother came through the living room

with his baseball suit on and a bat.

-That's right.

-And he said who likes the Dodgers?

-I said, I do.

-Then little boy said, who likes the Giants?

-I said, I do.

-And is it true that the minister jumped up

from behind the sofa and said, I now pronounce you man and wife?

-That's right.

-Wonderful life, huh?

-I'll always remember that.

And another thing-- it hits me all the time--

is that what is this saying about the English language,

or something.

-Oh, you mean the English language

being the mother tongue?

-Yeah, yeah, that's it.

It must be right.

-Why?

-Because father never gets the chance to use it.

-Good luck to you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Now here he is, ladies and gentlemen, once again,

that sensational man of rhythm to play

another great number for you-- Lionel Hampton.

[MUSIC - LIONEL HAMPTON AND HIS BAND]

And now for a fast change up.

You know when a pitcher gets a 3-2 count on a batter?

You know what he does, don't you?

He comes in with that fast ball.

Well, on deck out here we got a little slugger

who refuses to be pitched out.

And I'm sure that you will agree with me when

I say that he is one of the greatest.

And here he is, Little Buck.

-Thank you, Little Buck.

Come on back here.

Come on.

Thank you very much, little one.

Good night.

Ah, there's a little rascal who refuses to be struck out.

He's a hard-hitter.

And speaking of hits, well, there's

a guy standing on the on-deck circle right now.

I would say that his batting average is about 1,000.

I'm sure that you'll agree with me too.

Here he is, ladies and gentlemen,

that home run hitter of songs-- Nat King Cole.

[MUSIC - NAT KING COLE, CALYPSO BLUES]

In Trinidad one dollar buy papaya juice, banana pie,

six coconut, one female goat, and plenty fish

But here is bad.

These Yankee girls give me big scare.

Her eyelash false.

Her face is paint.

And pads are where the girl she ain't.

She jitterbug when she should waltz.

I even think her name is false.

But calypso girl is good a lot.

Sitting by the ocean, me heart she feels so sad.

Don't got the money to take me back to Trinidad.

-Mr. Chan?

Mr. Chan?

-Mantan Moreland.

-Hey, Nipsey Russell.

-Where have you been?

-What do you want to know-- wha- wha- wha--

-Where have you been?

-What do you want to know where I've been for?

-Well, I was at home, lying in my bed,

thinking about the money that I owe you,

and I just couldn't sleep.

-Couldn't sleep?

-No, I had to get up out of my bed to come over and fine you

and tell you that I can't pay you.

-Now you fixed it so I can't sleep.

How come you can't pay me?

-The races-- a low-down hound.

-Hound?

What kind of races do you play?

-Horse races.

-What track you play at?

-I play over here--

-That track's crooked.

Why don't you play over here around--

-That's where I lost my money.

-Mm-hm.

How much did you lose?

-I lost about--

-You didn't have that much.

-No?

-No, all you had was--

-I had more than that.

I bet on a horse, and that rascal didn't come in--

-Was he that far behind?

-Yeah.

-Who was the jockey riding him?

-A jockey by the name of--

-He can't ride.

Now I thought he went out there to ride for --

-He did.

But they bought him.

He came on back.

-Oh, yeah?

-Yeah, and do you know what he did?

-What?

-Let me tell you.

Boy--

-You should have had him arrested.

Now the horse you should have bet on was number--

-He was scratched.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Man down-- you don't look so good.

-No, I don't feel so good, either.

-Well, why don't you go away, take a little trip for you

health.

-Yeah, I think I'll go out here to, uh--

-Don't go out there.

They filled up.

I would suggest that you go over to--

-And get ten years?

-If you went, how would you go?

-Driving.

-Driving what?

-A 19--

-You'll never make it.

-Say, looky here.

Now what time is it?

-Well, the hour's almost--

-Is it that late?

-Yes.

-I've got to go over here and see--

-She's not at home.

-Then where is she?

-I think she went down-- -I'll see her then.

You take it easy. -All right.

-Au revoir.

-Farewell.

That's why I like to talk to a man.

We always understand each other.

But let me tell you, I did go to the race track.

Went to the racetrack, I had a roll

big enough to choke a horse.

That's what I should have done was choke

that rascal instead of betting on him.

I bet $15 on a horse's nose, found

after the race I could have bought him for $10.

I didn't mind him getting left at the polls.

That could happen to any horse.

But when he stops in front of the grandstand

and asked me, which way did they go, that's when I gave up.

And I thought I had a good horse.

He left the post twenty to one.

Came in at quarter after five.

The horse ran so slow that the jockey actually felt guilty.

He felt guilty.

When he got in his dress, the jockey started giving the whip,

you know?

The horse stopped, looked back at the jockey,

said, man, what are you hitting me for,

there's nobody behind us.

I left and walked around to a little place

where they were serving drinks.

All of a sudden a guy walks into the bar

he had his handkerchief up to his next like this.

He raps on the bar.

The bartender comes over, says, what can I do for you?

The guy says-- Bartender says, do you want a drink?

Bartender said, don't I know you?

So where you been, over to the racetrack?

So you-- did you win?

You bet?

You lose?

How much you lose?

Bartender says, $2?

The bartender said, $2,000?

Bartender said, gee whiz, if I lost $2,000 on the races

my wife would cut my throat.

And now it's a pleasure to present you Cab Calloway.
