Bring me little water, Sylvie.

Bring me little bucket, Sylvie

Bring me little bucket Sylvie--
Every little once in a while.

Tonight in 1970 — HARRY & LENA aired on ABC.
Harry Belafonte and Lena Horne starred in this intimate primetime special featuring songs + stories about the challenges they faced.
Produced by Belafonte. Delightful and groundbreaking. On YouTube: https://youtu.be/2_gu5YtG_hw
A #TuneTuesday theme of #JumpToTheBeat featuring songs that mention jumping.
A decent enough video edit of #Beetlejuice to marry up to the full version of Jump In The Line by Harry Belafonte.
