Playlist Samba

Screenshot of TV appearance by Jackie Wilson on The Ed Sullivan Show. He's wearing a suit with a bow tie and has a pocket square with four folded points showing. His eyes are closed as he sings with an wide open mouth and his hands are raised. The stage set design is painted shapes with various angles and points.
Jackie’s shouting to the set decorator: “I’ve got FOUR points on my pocket square!”
