For the 45 years this Telethon ran consecutively, the audience stayed tuned - sometimes as many as 120 million - in the US, Canada and abroad. People would stay tuned all day and night to see the Last Hour and the final figures on the board. To see the Finale acts and enjoy in the pleasure and joy of something good and something being accomplished at the end of a 22 hour marathon that continued year after year after year.

Here's a compilation tribute with the Finale duet from the Telethon 1987.

Enjoy
