@johnswackyworld The Guy from MADMAN should play Ray Anthony in a movie.

I danced to Ray Anthony, New Year Eve, 1953, in Fremont, Ohio. Rainbow Gardens.

CORRECTION!! November 10th, 1956 fell on a SATURDAY, so this excerpt was first broadcast on Friday, November 16, 1956 [Ray's show aired on Friday nights at 10pm(et) over ABC].

STilll what is Victor Young noted for? What tunes in this clip were in what film?

[fromthesidelines]

This particular telecast [November 15, 1956] honored Victor Young after his death the previous Sunday {November 10th}. And yes, Ray Anthony is still alive, in "semi-retirement" thses days....
