7PM ET/PT 60 Minutes “An Hour of Music”
“The Final Act”
Tony Bennett has Alzheimer’s disease. It’s taken a toll on his memory, and the 95-year-old singer has trouble holding a conversation. But when the music comes on, the legendary crooner can break through the fog to find his voice again. Anderson Cooper and 60 MINUTES cameras were at what would likely be his final performance, with Lady Gaga at his side. Nichole Marks is the producer.
“The Get Back Sessions”
Rock music’s greatest divorce, the breakup of the Beatles in 1970, was always associated with the film and album “Let it Be.” Half a century later, dozens of hours of that film left on the cutting room floor are telling a different story. 60 MINUTES reveals an intimacy and creative bond between the four musicians that belies the long-held narrative. Jon Wertheim reports. Michael Gavshon and Nadim Roberts are the producers.
“Best Band in the Land”
COVID canceled Mardi Gras last year, but the big sound of the St. Augustine H.S. marching band practicing in the streets of New Orleans signals good times will return to the city famous for its marching band culture. Sharyn Alfonsi speaks to its new bandleader and the band members, and traces the arc of this 70-year-old institution that calls itself the “Best Band in the Land.” Laura Dodd is the producer.
8PM ET/PT 60 Minutes “A Wildlife Tour”
“Great White”
Great white sharks are coming nearer U.S. beaches, but does it mean attacks on people will increase? Bill Whitaker reports. Rome Hartman is the producer.
“The Wolves of Yellowstone”
The once-familiar howl of the wolf in the American West has returned to Yellowstone Park and its environs, thanks to a careful reintroduction of the animal by the U.S. Park Service. But, as Bill Whitaker reports, the number of wolves venturing into the states surrounding Yellowstone Park has some ranchers and hunters worried. Rome Hartman and Sara Kuzmarov are the producers.
“The Photo Ark”
National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore is attempting to photograph every living species. Bill Whitaker and 60 MINUTES cameras tag along on a shoot and find out animals can do the darnedest things. Robert Anderson and Aaron Weisz are the producers.
