DIAHANN CARROLL & VIC DAMONE sing a medley of songs in tribute to honoree PERRY COMO. They had just married in 1987 (1987 til 1996). Vic talks about how he cornered Perry in an elevator and sang for him when he was young (he was trying to break into show business and Perry was already a star).

Their divorce broke my heart. So much in common. Musically, they were on the same stagecoach. Socially, they knew the same people. Financially, they didn't need one another. So all there was going was the possibility of a good marriage, which should've been sealed with their sharing of the death Damone's sister, I believe. It still puzzles why the marriage didn't hold. I do believe that working together in nightclubs didn't help glue the marriage. You're seeing entirely too much of each other. Oh well....
