There used to be a show, I think on NBC on Sunday nights that David Sanborn hosted, it played a lot of jazz performers, and he played with him. I was always a fan, bought a lot of his CDs, until he had Conway Twitty on. Conway was the perfect gentleman, and Sanborn was the biggest jerk I have ever seen. He was mocking Conway the whole way through in a way that he thought he was denigrating Conway, and Conway did not even know. I am sure Conway did know, he was just too much of a gentleman to say anything about it at the time. Never cared to listen to him after that.
When was this show?
Conway Twitty on the Night Music television show 34 years ago.
I agree that the David Sanborn intro was awkward. Sanborn introduces him and then engages in some of what could be called “entertainment patter”, which includes some silliness and lame attempts at humor. Sanborn then says, “We’re honored to have you.”
