Shifting, Whispering Sands - Snooky Lanson - Your Hit Parade

Snooky Lanson joined Gisele MacKenzie, Dorothy Collins, Russell Arms, Raymond Scott (orch) and Ray Charles (chorus) on NBC-TV's live broadcast Your Hit Parade every Saturday night during the 1950's where the top 7 songs of the week were presented in 2-3 minute sketches. Here Snooky takes on a serious song and turns in a perfect performance of a rare cowboy number to make the survey: Shifting, Whispering Sands.

Roy Landman (Snooky Lanson)

@reneesluse Landman? Do you believe this was SNooky's last name? On a Mike Douglas Show with Gisele MacKenzie, Snooky stated his real name was Roy Salor.

Great folk story and song...but I'd have to kill myself with the name "Snooky", sorry.

Snooky once share with Mike Douglas on his show that his Mom named him after the song "All Night They Call Me Snooky Ookums." Snooky was a nick name...his real name was Roy Sailor (or something close to that).

You are 'preaching to the choir"...I live near Tucson, and find the GREAT southwest as enchanting and wonderful as any place can be.

good song

A great download of a great song from a great show that many of we old-timers remember.

This was a pretty big hit record for both Billy Vaughn and Rusty Draper in 1955.

I remember watching this when I was 8 years old.

I remember watching Your Hit Parade when I was a teenager. Snooky sounds similar to Gene Autry, but less nasal.

This is from a time when singers had good voices. The pop song, like the movie musical,

is pretty much dead now.

Yup, tempus fugits, and the older I get the

faster it goes.

Great to hear Snooky and the gang again. Tx
