The Lawrence Welk Show: Mancini-Mercer (1973)

This 1973 program honors the work of Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini, with the latter as a guest. Unlike his later appearance, in which he shows up with about ten minutes left, in a pre-taped segment, here he is first at bat.

The selection of songs is quite good, starting with HM playing "Days of Wine and Roses." Again, you get the same 2-minute apocopated versions, but anyone who has watched over the years is used to that.
