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!

Don't complain, there's loads of us who would do anything for a head of hair like that!

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.
