"Thank You, America"
Host: Lawrence Welk
Lawrence presents a loving tribute to the United States in this program which was the most-requested, highly-acclaimed Welk Show to air on commercial television. An all-out unabashed tribute to America and all the things that are right with it, the show features the band and chorus in several patriotic numbers, Guy and Ralna sing "America the Beautiful" and gospel singer Willa Dorsey sings a spine-tingling rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner." Guy and Ralna also sing "This Land is Your Land."
