...inaugural ball committee ran a contest for the official inaugural song, which was won by Bring Us Together-Go Forward Together, lyrics by Hal Hackaday. The committee turned down dozens of requests to perform from would-be entertainers all over the land, including an acrobatic group, an Illinois woman who claimed to be a coloratura soprano, and a lady from Texas who said she had shouted "Amen!" during a Nixon campaign speech.
