Allison Smith - Goodbye to You - Kate & Allie

Details

Description

With all due respect to whomever owns the rights - CBS? MCA/Universal Home Video? NBC Universal Television Distribution? - and in a slight departure from my usual bug, bird and knife videos, I'm uploading this clip from a 1988 episode of Kate & Allie called "The Band Singer", where Jenny joins a band. At the end of the episode, they perform the Patty Smyth/Scandal song, "Goodbye to You".

I wanted to post it for three reasons:
1) I couldn't find it anywhere on YouTube, which surprised me
2) It deserves to be seen/heard. Since so many people seem to have forgotten (or have just never heard) what vocals sounded like before that evil Auto Tune *boo! hiss!* was invented (curse you Andy Hildebrand, Cher and T-Pain!!!), this seemed like a good example of what a former broadway star turned sitcom actress could do with nothing but her own voice and a good band backing her.
3) I just plain love this song :)

I hope this clip doesn't get taken down, because I get the feeling not many people are aware they ever did this on Kate & Allie and it really shouldn't just fade out of existence/memory (aside from the few people who bought the DVDs, of course).
