The Danny Kaye Show (1966)

 

Inger performs on The Danny Kaye Show

Inger was a guest on The Danny Kaye Show on February 23, 1966. She appeared with other guests, including Harvey Korman, Woody Herman and The Herd, and The Clinger Sister and Brother Aaron. 

In the episode, Inger sang "The Lass from the Low Country" and did a song-and-dance routine with Danny to "Let Me Entertain You".  In a separate skit, Inger played an American teacher who visits Giovanni the tailor, an older Italian widower (Kaye). Giovanni and his pal Carlos (Harvey Korman) convince themselves that the young teacher is aiming for a date with the older tailor. 


Jazz great Woody Herman teamed up with The Herd for performances of "After You've Gone" and "Caldonia". The Clinger Sisters and Brother Aaron, a family group featuring youth, sang "Do-Re-Me" and "Old MacDonald". Also, Danny portrayed President George Washington to honor Washington's birthday.

A year before the episode, in 1965, Inger was seated next to Danny at an event at the Cocoanut Grove.

 

The episode is not commercially available at this time. I do have audio recordings of Inger's songs which I will share with you as soon as possible.
