English West End and Broadway belter Shani Wallis joins inimitable showman Liberace onstage for a bouncy jam session on ABC’s The Hollywood Palace during its 09 January 1965 broadcast. The pair deliver the 1929 Nacio Herb Brown–Arthur Freed classic, “You Were Meant for Me,” neatly spliced with the irresistibly tappable 1924 Vincent Youmans–Irving Caesar show tune, “Tea for Two.” Music arranger and composer Mitchell Ayres conducts the studio orchestra. | O'Neal de los Trinos
