- Richard Carpenter: Good evening and welcome to a show about the things we love. Music and the people who make it.
- Karen Carpenter: Richard and I can think of no better way to spend an hour, than to fill it with music.
- Richard Carpenter: Many hours in our lives have been spent that way and this one is special, because it includes America's first lady of song... Miss Ella Fitzgerald.
- Karen Carpenter: And a man who's always welcome, because he's one of the best friends a good song ever had... John Davidson.
- Richard Carpenter: So after all the hour's of music that have preceded this one in our lives, we are very happy to welcome you to one more hour of music, music, music.
