The Making Of

Two TV Shows from 1983 :
...

ABC's 20/20
...
...originally broadcast...24 November 1983
...includes interviews by Bob Brown...and rehearsal footage
of Linda and Nelson Riddle with the orchestra.  ABC's 20/20
shot this during the recording of What's New. This is not a fluff piece,
but rather a technical report on the learning process that Linda went through
when making the album. There is particular emphasis on tempo, phrasing
and learning harmony clusters. Linda is absolutely adorable as she struggles
to learn the five-part harmonies that she is not familiar with singing.

Here is the entire report, divided into 3 segments....
total running time.....14 minutes, 34 seconds
