The Rolling Stones (THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS - 1966)

The Rolling Stones - "Lady Jane", "Paint It Black".

THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS - Part 9 of 9.
Aired 14th May 1966.
Host: Jim Dale

------------------------------

"Thank Your Lucky Stars" was a British television pop music show made by ABC Television, and broadcast on ITV from 1961 to 1966. Many of the top bands performed on it, and for millions of British teenagers it was essential viewing. As well as featuring British artists, American guests were frequent visitors.

Audience participation was a strong feature of "Thank Your Lucky Stars", and the Spin-a-Disc section, where a guest DJ and three teenagers reviewed three singles, is a very well remembered feature of the show. Generally American singles were reviewed.

The Merseyside specials are very fondly remembered and gained huge audiences.
The show bowed out in the summer of 1966, after two thousand artists had appeared on it.

Har har har at 2:04. "Lady Jane" doesn't have any drums on it, so there's really nothing for Charlie to do but just sit there and stare into the camera. It would've been even funnier if he was reading a magazine or something.

Mick is in fine form- he looks like he is exercising on a workout video! Ron

In between the "Hollywood Palace" and first Sullivan show gigs, the Stones also appeared on daytime TV's popular institution, "The Mike Douglas Show," then based in Cleveland (eventually to Philadelphia and then Los Angeles for its final years).

In his memoir, Douglas wrote he was not especially enamored of Mick & The Boys after their one and only performance on his show. Yet, on-air, Douglas was as gracious as to Bing Crosby or Perry Como, as was his custom.

After some young audience members behaved disruptively, Sullivan vowed the Stones would never return to his show.

But the popularity of the Brit quintet (and Mick Jagger's charming diplomacy) made him rethink his initial anger, Sullivan booking the group for four, repeat engagements (in fact, Sullivan inviting himself, on-air and sporting longer sideburns, to the Stones' dressing room for their '69 Madison Square Garden gig).

How much difference a few years (& a shitload of money) may make!

The Stones' more fondly-recalled, earliest American (prime time) TV performances were on "The Hollywood Palace" (June 13, 1964), where that week's host, actor-singer Dean Martin, made fun of them (oh well, "That's Amore!"), and the first of five appearances (between 1964-69) on "The Ed Sullivan Show," October 25, 1964.

Les Crane's program was the first (three years before Joey Bishop's late-night talk show began, five years before Dick Cavett's, also both on ABC) a rival TV network scheduled to compete against Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show."

The Rolling Stones made their television debut on "Thank Your Lucky Stars" July 7, 1963, their United States TV debut on ABC-TV's "Nightlife" (later titled 'The Les Crane Show"), on June 2, 1964.

There are only three episodes of 'Lucky Stars" believed to have survived, unfortunately the episode featuring the Stones TV debut not among the trio.
