I did not know till now that they also did a TV special featuring the songs from that album; here is an excerpt, with the late, great Bobby Darrin joining in on a few numbers.  I hope you enjoy this fragment of musical history as much as I did.

You can listen to all the album tracks, plus others that were not included on the original release, on YouTube here.
