their version of this (quite) old song is epic! it's officially available (vanguard) recorded at newport -- love it, thanks! the book sure sounds interesting
I’ve been looking for more content of The Chad Mitchell Trio for a long time now! I’ve recently come across their work and I’ve been hooked! Also, just wondering where you came across this recording and if there’s access to more of their stuff? They also introduced me to Miriam Makeba and I’ve been fascinated with her music ever since! Thanks for sharing this!!
And they are supporting her with background vocals. Also note her band: black bassist, black percussionist, white guitarist. It's about talent, not quotas.
Amen! I hope everyone watches to the end. What they did at the close may seem unremarkable by today's standard, but was absolutely radical and risky back then.
@MikeH0714 As was the William Shatner/Nichelle Nichols Star Trek kiss or when Petula Clark held Harry Bellefonte's hand during a duet on a TV special or black kids dancing with white kids on an American Bandstand type program. We've come so far, but have so much farther to go.
@@davidcarr7436 Yes, but the Star Trek and Belafonte moments happened in 1968. This video aired 5 years before and literally paved the way. As for the kids on Bandstand, that was also significant... but that series didn't air in prime time, and the white and black kids didn't touch each other until much, much later.
I think I saw Rogers on Sullivan, but I was reintroduced to him while reading Keegan-Michael Key's "The History of Sketch Comedy," a book I can recommend to anyone interested in comedy.
Many of the comments are pretty dated, but no matter. I love her to this day, and seek her out many times a year. Her voice and songs continue to bring tears to my eyes.
This should be the same Show, May 25, 1963 that balalaika player Sasha Polinoff also performed at. If you have audio for that, please do let me know, and I'll catch your book!
I was just a teen, but I remember Timmie Rogers and his great skits on TV. Rogers appealed to everyone and every age because he had pure, unadulterated talent. And his comedy did not need foul language and vulgarity to be funny. And reading the comments, he was a good guy.
