SIT DOWN HERE. I HAVE A STORY. COME ON. I WANT TO SHOW -- I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT THERE WAS A COMMENT MADE A LITTLE EARLIER ABOUT SOMETHING THAT YOU DO OR YOU DON'T DO THAT'S INAPPROPRIATE BECAUSE IT'S NOT EXACTLY -- >> STOP. >> SO WHEN I SAW THIS, I REALIZED I WAS ON THE COVER OF "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE A COUPLE TIMES. I WAS UNFORTUNATE THAT THEY DIDN'T SHOW THE FACT THAT I GOT WHITE SOCKS ON. OF COURSE I GOT A PAIR OF BLACK ONES ON, TOO. >> ALL RIGHTY THEN. >> WHITE SOCKS ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU, THEY'RE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. >> BUT HE HAS A WHITE ONE AND A BLACK ONE. >> I JUST DID THAT FOR YOU. WHAT A GREAT SHOW THIS IS. >> THANK YOU. >> HELLO. >> WHAT A GREAT ALBUM THIS NEW ALBUM IS. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> YOU RECORDED THREE OLD SONGS FROM THE "PARTRIDGE FAMILY." >> THAT ONE I THINK BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ONLY THE FIRST ONE IT WAS ALSO THE RECORD OF THE YEAR. IT HAD SUCH AN ENORMOUS IMPACT ON MY LIFE AND MY RECORD CAREER. AND EVERYWHERE I GO PEOPLE, KIDS COME UP TO ME, I'M IN A RESTAURANT. YOU KNOW, 7, 8, 9-YEAR-OLD KIDS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN -- IT WAS NOMINATED FOR THE LEVIS COMMERCIAL LAST YEAR FOR AN EMMY -- >> WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS THAT IT DOES STILL WORK? >> IT'S A GREAT SONG. I DIDN'T WRITE IT. SO I CAN SAY THAT. I WROTE -- >> YOU ARE KIND OF THE SEX POT NOW. I THOUGHT WOMEN WERE GOING TO START TO THROW THEIR BRASSIERES AT YOU. >> I'M KIND OF A SEX POT NOW? >> HE'S THAT, TOO. >> NO, NO. HONESTLY, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SING SOMETHING -- A SONG LIKE THAT THAT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, I SANG IT AT 19 YEARS OLD. IT WAS THE FIRST RECORD I EVER MADE. IT SOLD FIVE MILLION COPIES AROUND THE WORLD. AND I LOVE THE SONG. >> IT'S A GREAT SONG. >> IT'S A GREAT SONG. BUT I SING IT NOW AS A GUY 20-SOME-ODD YEARS LATER AS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GUY. I'D LIKE TO THINK I'M MORE SOULFUL AND COOLER AND SEXIER, MAYBE I'M NOT. I DON'T KNOW. >> YOU ARE. >> NO. NO. [APPLAUSE ]>> OK, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE "PARTRIDGE FAMILY." I REMEMBER THE "PARTRIDGE FAMILY" LIKE ALL THE OTHER WOMEN OF MY AGE-GROUP THAT ABSOLUTELY THOUGHT -- >> THE WHAT, THE "PARTRIDGE FAMILY"? >> THE "PARTRIDGE FAMILY." >> OH, YEAH. >> IT'S LIKE THE BEST. WHO WERE YOUR IDOLS BACK THEN? BECAUSE YOU WERE OURS. >> YEAH. I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE IDOLS. I HAVE TO SAY MUSICALLY I WAS VERY -- IN THE 1960'S WE LISTENED TO ONE RADIO STATION ON A.M. RADIO. I LISTENED TO MARVIN GAY, I LISTENED TO JAMES BROWN. I LISTENED TO A LOT OF THE MOTOWN STUFF. AND I ALSO LISTENED TO BEATLES WHICH HAD THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON US. YEAH. YEAH. SO I BECAME A BEATLES FAN WHEN "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" BECAME A HIT. LIKE I SAW EVERYBODY ON MY BLOCK THE DAY AFTER THEY APPEARED ON THE SULLIVAN SHOW. I BOUGHT AN ELECTRIC GUITAR AND I BECAME A MEDIOCRE GUITAR PLAYER. WHAT I USED THE GUITAR FOR BECAUSE I LOVED THE CHEMISTRY AT THAT TIME. WHAT WHAT THERE WAS IN THE 1960'S THAT I MISS TODAY, THERE WAS A CAMARADERIE AND BLACK KIDS AND YELLOW KIDS AND BLACK KIDS AND BROWN KIDS, WE ALL WENT TO THE SAME SHOWS. I WENT TO SEE SAM AND DAVE. I WENT TO SEE BEATLES. I WENT TO SEE BEACH BOYS. I WENT TO SEE CLARK. ALL OF THOSE ACTS ALL WERE PLAYED ON THE SAME RADIO STATION INCLUDING TONY BENNETT. AND NOW YOU HAVE TO GO TO SEVEN OR EIGHT DIFFERENT RADIO STATIONS. AS A GUY MAKING RECORDS TODAY, IT'S SO HARD TO REACH YOU NOW BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO TO SIX OR SEVEN DIFFERENT FORMATS BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T PLAY "I THINK I LOV■ YOU" ON ANY FORMAT BECAUSE IT WASN'T BLACK ENOUGH TO PLAY ON A BLACK STATION. IT WASN'T -- IT WAS TOO HARD TO PLAY ON AN A.C. STATION, THE MIX STATIONS. >> BUT IF WE COULD PLAY IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN WE WOULD HERE TODAY. WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE GOING TO SING LATER ON OUR SHOW. >> I'LL SING A NEW SONG. >> OFF YOUR NEW C.D., I LOVE THIS, "OLD TRICK NEW DOG." WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. >> WHO KILLED JONBENET RAMSEY? WHAT SECRET CLUES ARE HIDDEN WITHIN THEIR RANSOM NOTE? WHAT ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS 911 CALL AND THE NIGHTGOWN COVERING HER BODY? NOW TWO TOP EXPERTS POINT THE FINGER AT TWO DIFFERENT SUSPECTS. FIND OUT WHY NEXT.
