> saxophone solo by Lester Young in the background. They also  
> mentioned finding an uptempo recording of "Strange Fruit" by Billie  
> Holiday, but the version they played in the story seemed as  
> dirgelike as the Commodore recording. And Loren Schoenberg's name  
> was misspelled "Schomberg" in an on-screen caption.

> To top it all off, the dumb blonde news anchor introducing the story  
> pronounced Count Basie's name "Bassey."
