An excerpt from Kelly And Company – a crowdsourced variety show that aired on Detroit TV channel WXYZ from 1977 to 1994.

The winner on this episode was one Ralph ‘Whistler’ Geise, with an extraordinary (or, if you’re no fan of his pursed-lip exertions, excrutiating) rendition of ‘Georgia On My Mind’

Ralph still performs to this day with a group called Whistler’s Muthers.
