Brazil also had his black slaves... Since XVI Century african people were brought against their wishes to a strange land (America). "Brazilian" indians weren't very good for working... So, Portuguese and Brazilian business men decided to get slave working on Africa. Brazilian People is basically a mix of White Europe (Portugal)/Black People (Africa)/Native People (Aboriginal). So, brazilian people has a specific looking: blue/green/brown eyes; white/brown/ black skin and several types of hair.
Really. It's very sad that in many parts of USA at the time, colored persons wouldn't have been allowed to eat in the same restaurant as white persons. In the past, people from Ireland and England knew to bring black people from Africa to America as slaves and didn't understand the troubles this would cause in the future. Different origins... Of course, when colored people became free, shock would have to happen. But today, happily, these things have passed and our world is different.
@drucafate Don't blame the Irish. Blame the Scotch-Irish Protestants. Seems that the English with the Scottish tried to subdue the Irish by the Plantation of Ulster (look it up). About 100 years later, the Reformed Protestants were pissing off the establishment Anglicans who made the Scotch-Irish miserable, too. So many migrated to the colonies, a lot to the south. Then they began to piss off the black slaves, except the ones who went west and pissed off the Natives. Humans suck.
@caucus100 Look on the bright side - America ain't Pakistan. We're moving forward. Progress is slow. As we now see, the Jordanaires were WAY ahead of their time. God Bless!!!
Isn't it ironic that in many parts of this country at the time, the composer of this song, the Lucie Campbell, would not have been allowed to eat in the same restaurant as the Jordanaires because of the color of her skin?
Wow!! Likely the oldest footage ever on the Jordanaires to exist. This of course is a very early version of the group, later reformed and led my the young man seen playing the piano in these performances, Gordon Stoker. Who would go on to become the groups manager and lead tenor... still to this very day. Thank you very much for posting this!
Wow!!! I have been fortunate enough to perform a few shows with the Jordanaires and I still have to pinch myself to believe it! This is a great old classic!
I also want to thank whoever posted this, I had this original tape, given to me by Gordon Stoker, with all 8 or 9 songs - It got lost by the movers 2 yrs ago and I am devastated without it, it's the only video of him I ever had. I would love for someone to post the rest of the songs, they are soooo good, honestly, and were recorded in Hollywood, CA, back in 51, at excellent quality for that era.
The man on bass with the black hair is Culley Holt, the original bass singer for the Jordanaires, and he was my father. We lived in Nashville, TN, and I now live 90 miles away on Monteagle Mtn TN now; Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the compliment, I miss him so badly, he died at 50 in 1980, 30 yrs ago.

Excellent vocals. I especially liked the first number. VA Kev, is that your relative singing bass? I think I see a resemblance.
