1976 (Two wonderful on-location Numbers from Shirley Bassey as performed on her 1976 TV Variety Show!) Shirley first sings the Alan Jay Lerner classic, 'On A Clear Day You Can See Forever' while in a hot air balloon. Then she and her dancers perform a great 'Hello Dolly" musical number titled, 'Put On Your Sunday Clothes' which was written by Jerry Herman.

LYRICS:
On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel part of every mountain sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A word you've never, never heard before...
And on a clear day...On a clear day...
You can see forever...
And ever...
And ever...
And ever more.
