Notes The Official Reception of the United Nations Organisation in aid of ICARA II (the second International Conference on Assistance to Refugees in Africa) hosted by Guy Lux. The President of ICARA was the actor Richard Burton who said a few words

It has long been believed that Frida sang "I Have A Dream" LIVE with a children's choir but she had already also performed "I Know There's Something Going On" (to playback) and was briefly interviewed as well.

Mireille Mathieu also appeared in the Gala.

Watch Out For

Frida fluffs her lines in the second verse and one of the kids makes her react with a really cheeky smile.

The saga of Frida's microphone - she was handed a live microphone by one of the children in the choir as the one she had for "I Know There's Something Going On" was  'dead' and she'd handed it to Guy Lux after the interview. However, when she began to sing there was a little sound problem which sorted itself out. After the song the presenter brought back the 'dead' microphone which of course did not work!
