    Barbara Jean McNair (March 4, 1934 - February 4, 2007) was an American singer and theater, television and film actress. McNair's career spanned over five decades appearing in television, film and stage. McNair's professional career began in music during the late 1950s, singing in the nightclub circuit. In 1958, McNair released her debut single "Till There Was You" from Coral Records which was a commercial success.[1] McNair performed all across the world, touring with Nat King Cole and later appearing in his Broadway stage shows I'm with You and The Merry World of Nat King Cole in the early 1960s.[2] By the 1970s, McNair gradually changed over to acting in films and television; she played Sidney Poitier’s wife in They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (1970) and its sequel, The Organization (1971). In her later years, McNair returned to performing in nightclubs and on cruise ships. McNair died from throat cancer on February 4, 2007 at age 72. - Wikipedia

    I got choked up watching this. My favorite Uncle did 2 tours of Vietnam, in 1967 and 1968. He was the first to graduate college in his generation, yet did not dodge the draft , and after, I was the first African American female to graduate college in my age group of the family. He died in 1994, had he been alive he would be 73 years old, same as the racist, 5 time draft dodging, lying uneducated grafter , trump who makes me ashamed , as an American and part of a military family that has fought in every conflict or war, the U.S. has been engaged in, to have such a RACIST, INCOMPETENT FRAUD, in our Whitehouse.

    ...So sad there has to be War. The leaders of the countries need to duel, and leave the common man alone. So sad there has to be comedy to lift up a sad situation. The Vietnamese soldiers just wanted to go home to their wife & girlfriend friends and kids just like the Americans soldiers.

    Good lord.....
    that's what was considered entertainment back in 1967!!!!!
    A bunch of cheesy jokes & some slow singing songs. *You minus well put me back in the action with CHARLIE!*
    Ps. Just playin... respect to the soldiers.
    But good Lord compaired to today's entertainment, *that was boring as hell!*
