A very rare clip from The Oscar Levant Show (1958) with
special guest Fred Astaire. This was the first time Astaire
sang on television. The video quality is very poor.

When I was growing up in L.A. during the 1950's, this was my favorite TV show, which I never missed. It was great finding this clip from it on YouTube.
I have listened to Oscar many times on the radio quiz show Information Please, from the late 30's and early 40's...and he is far less neurotic and strung out...poor guy...I really dug him...I guess 20 years of being Oscar was too much...anyway...he was a wonderful pianist...
When I was a kid, I used to wonder why I couldn't have had Oscar Levant for an uncle, instead of the relatives I had. I guess some people just aren't that lucky...
Oscar Levant may have been a little "off-sync" from the rest of humanity, but the rest of humanity isn't as brilliant, talented, funny, and sensitive as he was.
You had an unhappy childhood, a troubled adulthood - but your TV shows always brought this unhappy child enjoyment.
