CNN dubbed it "David Pack's All Star Dream Team Band" - it included his friends Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Bruce Hornsby, Patti Austin; plus all-star backing band Steve Ferrone/Drums, Nathan East/Bass, Greg Phillinganes/Keys, Everett Harp/ Sax, Chris Rodriquez/Guitar, Jamie Bernstein/BG vocals, Jean McClain/BG vocals, Joe Puerta/BG vocals-bass, and others.
Also joining David onstage: Carole King, Barbra Streisand, Judy Collins, Dionne Warwick, Chuck Berry, Julio Iglesias, Michael Douglas, Pres. Clinton's mother, Kevin Cronin and a host of others.
David noted: "I sang 'Biggest Part of Me' for Pres & Mrs. Clinton's first dance, and the Pres. was 5 feet in front me, turned and said 'Ah love that song!' That knocked me out. Then he said he was sorry he couldn't play sax on Kenny Loggins' 'Your Mama Don't Dance' so I invited Ben E. King onstage to give him a solid silver saxophone gift. He showed it to the standing-room-only crowd from his hometown, they started chanting 'Play Bill, Play!' Then he turned to me and said 'Ok, what key?' I said 'Bb Mr. President,' and off we went. That footage is now in the national archives and plays 24 hours a day at Clinton Library in Arkansas!
"I have never in my entire life felt anything like the electricity of that moment in time."
