"Well, to start, for me, at seven years old, I was on a television contest called 'The Paul Whiteman'..." — Leslie Uggams

Well, to start, for me, at seven years old, I was on a television contest called 'The Paul Whiteman's TV Teen Club.' Each week you won a prize, a washing machine, you know, a dryer. The grand prize was a Nash Rambler car. And before I came on, a young African-American boy had won. He was a tap dancer and he won the grand prize.
