Your Hit Parade May2-1951

http://foxeema.blogspot.com/An episode of "Your Hit Parade", a music-themed TV series in which the cast performed the hit songs of the week and a couple of "extras". This episode is a bit of a "off-episode", not up to usual standards. Songs include: "Mockin Bird Hill", "Sparrow in the Treetops", "Be My Love", "How High the Moon", "On Top of Old Smoky" (a dreadful rendition), "Would I Love You" and "If". Some severe sound issues during the closing credits and Lucky Strike jingle

its funny--it seemed like when we landed on the moon in July 1969, MOON LOVESONGS WERE NO LONGER WRITTEN and they woere for at least 90 years--and by the early 70s they were passe

Les Paul was ahead of his time--How high the moon sounds like it could have been made in the later 50s--truth was he went into black clubs and got pointers i believe

If anyone doubts Les Paul's place in music, just show them this...it took YOUR HIT PARADE three people to take his place.

That's the incomparable L. A. 'Speed' Riggs intoning the memorable auction and ending with 'Sold to American'.
