Everyone has their own special memories of Sesame Street. Hard to believe it’s older than Mo’Kelly. But probably the FUNNIEST bit that comes to mind is when Patti LaBelle sings The Alphabet Song. Ernie and Bert catchin’ the Holy Ghost! Tambourines and all! Glory Hallelujah! The Lena Horne version is the one I remember as a [...]
