Cher opened the show with a medley, followed by a monologue about how exciting it's been working with Ray Charles and Kermit the Frog. Ray performed Living For The City. Cher joined Ray for Georgia On My Mind. Then Kermit appeared with a Bicentennial Minute on the role of frogs in American history. Cher and the Muppet Sweetums sang That Old Black Magic, and Kermit and Ray did their duet on It Ain't Easy Being Green.
Ray made an appearance as an unconvincing bank robber in a sketch. At the end of the show Cher and Ray, joined by The Raelettes, performed a medley of Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma, Take Me Home, Country Roads, Just For a Thrill, Hit the Road Jack and What'd I Say.
The Raelettes' line-up was: [Linda Sims], Dorothy Berry, Estella Yarbrough, [Bernice Hullaby], Madelyn Quebec (names between brackets inferred).
