The three’s gentlemen do the Rock around the clock in this video, is priceless! I’ve so much laughed about nearly everything in the content. What a show! What a joy! A stress-free moment. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Your efforts is appreciated. An early Merry Christmas🙂everyone.
Thank you for sharing your dad with all of us listeners on the weekends for all of those years. I was 12 or 13 when I first started hearing his shows in the 80’s on WGN. We sure could use shows like his again!
So Sad. Smoking killed Dean and probably millions of Americans before their time. This show is just a huge cigarette promotion with super talented people.
I love watching these classic tv variety shows. The only bad thing about them is the frigging cigarette commercials, Those damn tobacco companies causing people to start smoking and having many of them get lung cancer just for profit! Other than that these shows were really great to watch and still are. Love them. By the way whatever happen to Oasis lol.
The best entertainers of the 20th century, of all time. I'm so glad we still have these gems to view from time to time. The early 20th century gave us the greatest entertainment/entertainers of all time.
Are any of his shows available from any other sources? The Christmas show was a favorite! My brother had recorded it and played it as his annual Christmas party. What a great voice and a great memory!
Hollywood was still unofficially boycotting TV as a dangerous rival when this aired. Few of movieland's biggest names condescended to appear on the tube except to plug their films. The dam had been breached by 'Four Star Playhouse', but generally only names on their way up or down did regular turns. Sinatra was willing to try anything, however, though (unlike Dino or Danny) he never had a hit with a TV series. Musical talent had more incentives to try television bc film musicals were drying up, and Dino was seeking to relaunch himself after breaking up with Jerry Lewis. His relaxed style fitted the 'cool' medium better than Frank's hep manner.
Was this a radio broadcast? what was the date that this was aired? The Little Drummer Boy song is awesome who sings it? it sounds like something from the 1960s.
What is the name of the artist of the beautiful Oh Come All Ye Faithful song in the beginning? this is the kind of Christmas music I absolutely love to hear it
This is my grandpa I never got to see him because he died before my birth I loocked him up because my dad listens to him every night I maybe have never got to meet him but at least I can listen to him.
Chris...you my be very proud to be John Doremus' grandson. He had the best radio voice I ever heard. I was a young guy who listened to The John Doremus Show that aired on WVNO-FM 106.1 in Mansfield Ohio for years. His voice and his personality on air (the show was recorded) helped influence me to get into radio. I am no longer in radio, but I eventually owned a few radio stations in Florida. I read where someone in radio said your grandfather had the best radio voice, period. I agree with that. Bill Histed, Mulberry, Florida
I'm in Queensland Australia, and they still play his show the "Passing "Parade" on 4kz radio every day for 5 mins, great stories told by John with his great voice.
That's really cool that you have that connection to him. I listened to him at night on my clock radio when I was a little kid and it helped me go to sleep. He always told jokes that I didn't understand but I found his voice soothing and I liked his laugh. Easy Listening radio is a thing of the past now but it was good background music. The station I listened to him on eventually changed to a Rock format and I couldn't sleep to it anymore.
In case anybody was wondering what that "exit song" was that was heard at the end of the tape: It's called "Everything's Alright" From Jesus Christ Superstar. That's what it sounded like to me.
@@jimcatanzaro5164 wouldn't surprise me if this was recorded during the late 70s or early eighties but it does have a sound of the 1960s yet some of these songs were recorded in the sixties so this show has to have been recorded after the mid-1960s
We used to run his show weeknights at 9 on WLBH-FM, Stereo 97, Mattoon, Illinois. I worked there in the 80’s while going to college to earn a Broadcasting degree.
This show aired February 2, 1958. It was actually a Special, not a weekly show. Altogether, Dean did a series of nine specials for NBC from 1957 to 1961. I'd be curious how many of them exist.
Mostly Brenda Wow i was a month and 1 day old. Nice to see these 3 giants when i was so young. I wish i was old enough to enjoy their performance was 1st air. So glad RU-vid are around now so i can at least enjoy it now.
It seems to me he did an evening show in December called "Christmas fantasia" which was on every night about 8 o'clock. It was music and stories related to the holidays.
