    It was such a joy to see this show from '59. I didn't realize we worked so hard on the intros and backgrounds as well as our own songs.

    Thanks for the memories.

    "Big" Ron Rolla, bass singer of the Eligibles

    This was Shuggie Otis's dad...Shuggie wrote the song Strawberry Letter 22 which was later redone by the Brother's Johnson which went to #1 in the charts. I still love that song today, such a truly beautiful love song.

    I agree 100&

    It must have been wonderful to have seen Johhny & Lionel play live.

    What musical geniuses they were & The Eligibles were great too.

    Amazing sounds & so,so good from a 69yo Aussie.

    No superlatives could possibly do this justice. What an outrageously great TV show this must have been! So much talent just on this one episode. Johnny was fantastic in many ways and far more influential than most people know. Loose and living the dream, man, playing and promoting the music he loved. Of course, Hamp nearly steals the show here. Solid!
