    Among the greatest songwriters in the world at the time, and he gives them pen and pencil sets! (Marketing!)

    Here is the entire episode – of note is who one of the contestants was. Baseball fans nicknamed him ‘The Voice of God’.

    Brings back many memories! Merv was extremely talented and smart.

    My gosh, they were all so ill at ease and seemed uncomfortable. Not affable or personable at all.
