By request of a You Tuber born on this date.

From People Magazine, July 14, 1986:
When Cybill Sheperd's dress arrived at the studio a week before her scheduled visit, Letterman used it as a promo device. Not to be outdone, Shepherd, when she arrived, ignored the dress and came on in a towel. "It seemed appropriate. It was a designer towel," says the Moonlighting fashion plate. "Most talk show hosts only want to score points at the guest's expense, but Dave's humor comes from the situation."

From a Prodigy chat with Will Lee, April 30, 1996:
Question: What artist have you most enjoyed accompanying?

Will Lee: Actually, a German lady who was about 78 years old. She sang "Take a Walk on the Wild Side." Every time we got to the ‘color girls sing' part, she would go "Doublede Doi, Doublede Doi, Doublede Doi." But seriously, it seems like the first time James Brown was ever on the old LATE NIGHT show. That was excitement beyond compare.

And in another Will Lee Prodigy chat from January 30, 1997:
Will: There was this one 78-year-old German lady who had a hit with Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side." She yelled at me backstage for whistling. And I whistle all the time.
