The Lucy Show

Lucy (Lucille Ball) goes to work for a record company. Tinker: Mel Torme. Barney Miller: Lou Krugman., Mel Torme guests in this episode as an out-of-work songwriter named Mel Tinker. When Lucy takes a job as secretary to record-company executive Barney Miller (Lou Krugman), she tries to arrange a recording session for Mel. Alas, the songwriter is woefully behind the times and doesn’t know how to pen a rock-and-roll tune–or at least, he didn’t know how until Lucy gives him a few pointers. Mel Torme performs his own compositions “Whatever Happened to the Moon?”, “My Trousseau” and “Wingding”.
