Peter Allen on The Don Lane Show 1982

A very interesting episode of Peter Allen live via satellite on The Don Lane Show in 1982. The interview is all about "Arthur's Theme" ("Best That You Can Do") winning the Oscar for Best Original Song. Peter talks about the story behind the song, losing at the Grammys to "Bette Davis Eyes", going to the Oscars, winning the Oscar, what he did after the Oscars, and what happened to his Oscar statuette. He then plays a moving version of "Arthur's Theme".
