Host: Mary Lou Metzger with guest Bill Thrash
Original Air Date: September 8, 1973

This happy, light-hearted show opens with the cast dancing down the aisles of the TV studio singing "We Can Make Music" and shaking hands with members of the audience en route. Guy & Ralna sing "I Can't Stop Loving You." Once on stage, Anacani sings "Spanish Eyes," and Clay Hart sings a hit song of the year which became almost a national anthem, "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree." Ralna brings the show to an emotional high with a spine-tingling rendition of her most-requested and signature song, "How Great Thou Art."
