Time slot usually reserved for London's "Sunday Night At The Palladium." This special brings the multi-faceted talents of the great Lena Horne to fill this hour with great entertainment,  without disappointing the viewers of the regularly scheduled programming. 
The show is split into three parts, to show many of Miss Horne's moods. Different camera variations were used by producer Jon Scoffield, carefully distancing each variation to enhance each shot. 
Miss Horne leads off with "I Wanna Be Happy," then slips off to a nitery set for a charming reprise of her career in terms of tunes. She recalls her early days at the Cotton Club with "World On A String" and gives tribute to drummer Sid Catlett, who taught her rhythmic refinement with "Do I Love You."    
Also appearing with Ms. Horne are her pianist Lennie Hayton and a rhythmic section. She is also joined by her guest, actor James Mason and the Jack Parnell Orchestra under Lennie Hayton.   

Produced by Jon Scoffield.
