Just found this on YouTube: Ethel Merman doing this ''Hello, Dolly!'' number from 1982. Was it a variety special? (Joe Namath is in it!) Ethel also does a second number, ''There Is No Tune Like a Show Tune,'' which sounds like an early version of ''It's Today'' (in ''Mame''). Ethel sings a countermelody to it that includes the lyric: ''You know how fond I'm of anything by Stephen Sondheim.'' Could Jerry Herman have written that, or was it specialty material penned by someone else for this TV salute?
