This is Karen with Graciela, Sergio's wife, post-Lani, although still using Lani's vocal tracks!
Not sure how long that lasted...
The Carnival had Janis Hansen:

Maybe that sounds good to the kids today?
It's not that it's bad, it's just...insulting. Deeply insulting.
Then again, Chicago began to piss me off pretty early on.
No idea. If the tape has survived my closet, I home-taped it on a reel-to-reel. I can't have been the only one...
Another CBS plus - a 1973(?) Thanksgiving Day(?) special of the Alvin Ailey troupe doing a program of Ellington.
The 1974 prime time CBS tribute special. Duke was still alive and in the house, and he had to listen to Chicago cover "Jump For Joy". That was the level of that one.
Otoh, CBS did and absolutely beautiful "night of" coverage when he died.
