Charles Meets Carter On NBC Evening News (1976)

In the NBC Evening News for Monday, 17 May 1976, in an item on the Maryland Primary, Jimmy Carter was shown meeting Ray Charles and "holding hand of black girl". The reporter was Tom Pettit. I don't know if the footage has survived.
NBC News Archives (Media ID 0603769) describes another news cast, aired on 15 May 1976, where "Carter talks privately with singer composer Ray Charles".
