In an episode of the 1970s television show Sanford and Son, Redd Foxx (joined by Scatman Crothers on guitar) sings a short but memorable version.................................which I saw as a re-run and was inspired ........................................ "All of Me" is also performed in the Muppet Show episode with The Greasy Gopher singing along with a mandolin. The song is featured prominently in the 1984 Steve Martin/Lily Tomlin film of the same name. ................Remix w/ my voice/voice, piano, organ, keyed-trumpet, and percussion and done in one take or setting as are most of these older songs. Some take a lot of effort.
