No, not MCCABE AND...you sillies!
The great sixties variety show fixture Mrs. Miller! A performer with whom you could fall in love. God bless 'er! Sadly, not much youtube footage, but I did find this.
Mrs. Miller Sings "Its Magic"
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Ohmigod! I haven't thought of Mrs. Miller since I was 9--and thinking, when Carol Burnett introduced her from the audience, "Who the hell is Mrs. Miller?"
I didn't realize she actually had an album!

The best cover of "Downtown" ever! Y'know she used to suck ice before her shows because it helped with her breathtaking whistling solos.
DOWNTOWN

The classic Mrs. Miller moment: duetting with Jimmy Durante on his "Inka Dinka Doo"
