Mary and Smokey together is Soul Heaven for me. There was no finer interpreter of Smokey's songs than Mary.

Wow, forgot that I wrote that patter, arranged that medley and I'm sitting on the floor [[Smokey's side) with my long 80's hair.
What a great time!

who was the line-up on this special? and wasn't this a period when Smokey was going through some rough times that he wrote about in his book? or maybe a little later. he was too thin.

The guests on this particular episode were Mary, Diana Ross, the Mary Jane Girls, and Weird Al Yankovic. I believe Smokey wrote this was around the period when he became seriously addicted.

The vocals are great!
Although it's usually the man that compliments the female's looks!
That can't be George.
No one was ever that young!
