The brilliant "Nikki" recordings made for ABC-TV for Movie of the Week
were recorded for ABC by Harry Betts, a brilliant trombonist and music
arranger.
He made various lengths of the song for use by the network, and a
more or less complete version can be heard on "TV Party"(website)
and it is magnificent! It is played as underscore(underneath the announcing) for the Movie of the Week Trailers that were made at that time.
