Intro- "I'm The Greatest Star" from T.C.B.

[Kraig Diesel]

On the deluxe edition of Diana Ross & The Supremes sing Funny Girl, There's an outtake from T.C.B. called "I'm The Greatest Star" At the beginning of the track, before the performance, there's a trumpet that plays a few notes, followed by Mary [[or some identical voice) singing "You can take Stevie out of the country, but..." to the exact same melody.

Does anyone know what song those lyrics came from?

From a cigarette commercial of my all time fave cig [[until they reformulated in the 80's......

"You can take Salem out of the country, BUT, you can't take the country out of Salem"

[sup_fan]

possibly there was a little skit/routine leading into the Funny Girl medley

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!! It's been racking my brain for the past few weeks.
