David Letterman Reveals Final Musical Guests
In his intro, Letterman explained there were two songs that he loved as a kid,Simon & Garfunkel’s “America”, and King’s classic. A clearly grateful Letterman later thanked Chapman, “it means a great deal to me. I’m so happy you could do this for us.”
Letterman, of course, is in the final straight before he retires from his legendary late night stint after 33 years. Watch the clip below.
