Carol Channing Performs "Hello, Lyndon!" for President Johnson, 1967
Broadway actress Carol Channing Performs "Hello, Lyndon!" for President Lyndon B. Johnson. We believe this may be from a Jan. 17, 1967 dinner at the White House. "Hello, Lyndon!" was President Johnson's 1964 campaign song. Liz Carpenter, Lady Bird Johnson’s Chief of Staff and Press Secretary and occasional speechwriter for President Johnson, adapted the “Hello, Dolly!” lyrics and penned the “Hello, Lyndon!” lyrics Carol Channing eventually sang. Channing first performed the “Hello, Lyndon!” campaign song at the 1964 Democratic National Convention.
