I prefer his version from the Love Will Be Our Home album.

My sister had this album. Thanks so much for posting it. Do you have the We Can Make Music LP too? Tracks on Side Two are: 1. Hooray For Hazel 2. It's Now Winter's Day 3. Dizzy 4. Heather Honey 5. Jack and Jill 6. Jam Up and Jelly Tight

How true! Say no to the PC police, and yes to Jesus.

My cassette copy broke. The local library allows us to use the freegal database. You get 5 free downloads a week. This album's one of many featured. So I've been getting the tracks there. Some have also turned up on various compilations.

I had a video of him performing this song. It was probably from some TV show. He sat in a car surrounded by pretty girls. I sold the tape on ebay. Pat Boone replaced him on Arthur Godfrey's show.

Someone ought to put some of these shows on DVD. After Van Dyke and Company got cancelled, Dick replaced Harvey Korman on The Carol Burnett Show. It didn't work so well. He had trouble adjusting to the pace. Also, the writers didn't know what to do with him. Too bad this show had such a s...

This bit was taken from one of the original shorts. The director had watched all of them before making this movie. She said that she liked the thought of boys dressed as girls. That's a little scary.

The grown up Little Rascals took offense with the racial accusations. Spanky pointed out that they had an integrated classroom in 1930. All characters in the series got stereotyped. Both Farina and Buckwheat played girls at first.

I see Monique at Wal-Mart occasionally. She's still recognizble but dressed a lot simpler. It looks like she's been busy raising a family. Suppose Channel 33 had the budget, promotion, etc. as 2 and 9. They often had good talent.

I remember this commercial well. Who else is thankful that holiday meals are less formal now? Does anyone have any LNB ads with J.D.?

Thank his producer, Chet Atkins. Waylon mentioned in his autobiography that Atkins loved those Beatles tunes. George Harrison wrote the liner notes to the album Chet Atkins Picks on the Beatles.

He was in the Sons of the Pioneers. A character he played on Have Gun, Will Travel was a forerunner of Festus. In his 2nd appearance, he got cleaned up and sang.

I recently saw him singing on an old episode of The Dean Martin Show. Lorne Greene recorded several solo albums. Pernell Roberts did one. Dan Blocker recorded an album with Robert Mitchum's brother. Don't forget the cast albums. Bear Family put them on a boxed set. I wonder if this song's ...

Peacocks do have wings. One adopted us a few years ago. He roosts in a tree every night.

I liked them better in jeans. The woman at the end did appear to be bare-legged.

I don't blame many women for not wearing pantyhose anymore. They don't even look comfortable.

I remember seeing this in Ogden's Record Store in Baton Rouge many years ago. Isn't that Roy Clark on the banjo?

This is very nice. We used their recording of I'll Fly Away at my dad's funeral. I wish someone would put it on YouTube. It'd be nice to put on Dad's Facebook page. The song was included on Word's ReCollections compilation.

I heard that Johnny Carson always did the Tonight Show in color. The TV Guide Trivia Book had the original CloseUp listing of his debut. It did indicate color. Apparently the quality wasn't as good. Hence some clips such as the dance with Pearl Bailey got shown in black and white. If I ...

This was funny. Clark wrote in one book that he knew the show was doomed when Fred Silverman put it on Wednesdays. He wanted Sunday, like Ed Sullivan. Silverman had earlier turned the show down at ABC. In fact, he ended up cancelling this and every show NBC introduced that fall. There were...

He once appeared with Captain Kangaroo and sang this song.

Producer Jimmy Bowen wrote in his book Rough Cut that Sammy got offered this song first. Jesse Jackson was there when Mac Davis played it for Sammy. He asked to hear it again the next day. Elvis had a very good record regarding race relations. African Americans were part of his Vegas show. ...

Al Jolson only wrote the first line. His mother actually died when he was a boy.

What a voice and song! But Jolson's mother actually died when he was a boy.

That's one of my favorite James Taylor songs. Having his father in the audience was very nice. See how he whistled at the end.

Too bad they couldn't do the 80s. There must be a way of getting You Can't Do That On Television back on the air. Those later episodes, along with some early ones, are hardly watchable. But enough exist that deserve another look. Would we get Livewire and Shelby Woo too?

I love this song! Glen Campbell's original version of his composition was on his Burning Bridges album. He later recut it with Bobbie Gentry. The Statler Brothers' version of Less Of Me appeared on their Columbia album O Happy Day. That album is also known under the titles of How Great Th...

We had this album, along with others by K-Tel, Ronco, Sessions, etc.. Thanks to CDs and downloads you could recreate these collections. K-Tel even issued CD versions of some collections. But they often had fewer and different songs. They're now synomous with remakes.

It was a silly video. But they got most of the facts right.

Herbert Goldman's book told that Al Jolson wrote the first line of The Anniversary Waltz. But someone else wrote the rest. It was really based on an old song. That performance is very haunting! This movie did revive Jolson's career. Larry Parks got an Oscar nomination.

Betty Garrett was Larry Parks' wife. She played Irene on All in the Family, then Laverne & Shirley's landlady.

Did anyone else think this sequence looked like a pantyhose commercial?

This album was later reissued with a different cover. She had the shorter pageboy hairdo we usually associate with Evie.

I have this LP! Andrae Crouch wrote this song. His version first appeared on the Just Andrae album.

I used to have the Springboard International LP of these recordings. The cover had a painting of JT, apparently based on the Sweet Baby James album. This is my favorite song from this album.

One fishing show used this as their theme song.

I still have my copies of Memories magazine. It had a much too short run. One of the last issues in 1990 had an article about Al Jolson. He died in 1950. It claimed that he'd wanted to play himself. He'd also mentioned James Cagney. Larry Parks got an Oscar nomination for the first mov...

One episode had her singing on a TV show. The captain missed her performance. He felt horrible about it. Mr. Green Jeans claimed to have a device where you could see it later. Debbie got in an empty TV shell and tried to recreate her performance. That didn't work. So she sang the song in th...

I remember that episode of Flying High. Connie's character did some flying on her own. She was reluctant to fly after landing a plane on a football field during practice. A neighbor of these three gave them a cheesecake. The pilots ate it before they could get any. It turned out that t...

Laserlight reissued this album on CD. Do you have Little Altar Boy and O Happy Day here too? That choir was kickin'! Merry Christmas.

I wonder if anyone thought this was Brenda Lee.

This is from the Santa Claus Is Coming To Town album, put out by Peter Pan Records. I have the LP. It has beeen issued with a red and blue cover. Someone put all 12 songs from this album on YouTube.

This is definitely Anita. One book said that she was supposed to get a solo spot. It got taken by a singer Roy Acuff was promoting. So Hank nicely let her sing along with him. They should have sung together so more.
