(c)1990 Eddie Murphy Televison/Paramount Television
First of all, Merry Christmas! This upload is of the 1990 CBS movie "The Kid Who Loved Christmas". This came from an airing last week on the UP TV network (the commercials I uploaded recently came from a 1991 airing on local CBS affiliate WTKR).
The main plot focuses on a Chicago jazz musician seeking to adopt a young boy after his wife is killed in a car accident, and has to deal with a large amount of conflict with those who could approve the adoption, along with an offer to play in New Orleans.
CAST (much of which was a Who's Who of black entertainers at that time; information from IMDb, so some of the character info may be incomplete):
Cicely Tyson as Etta
Michael Warren as Tony Parks
Sammy Davis Jr. as Sideman (this was Davis' final project, airing about 6 months after Davis' death in May 1990)
