VideoTimes2 you never stop amazing me with some of things you post. SO rare so wonderful to actually see Dottie and Johnny singing on the last season of Hit Parade. Had no idea any footage still existed... and forget the Hit Parade format these 2 shoulda had shows of their own! SO great! Gonna be playing this one a lot thank you! - Matt
