Creepy . He knew for a long time he was living on borrowed time because a doctor told him because of his weak heart he probably would not last beyond the age of 21 but he passed in his 30s
It’s so good to have good old fashioned commercials. Coke and Juicy Fruit Gum, not like today about hair loss, and medical issues with major side effects!
That's funny, although coke is what brought those medical issues and possibly hair loss, due to the fructose and glucose...although it sure taste good...
Wow! That was some iconic" special". Alot of work must have gone into putting that special together. Lots of Broadway showtunes, great choreography and the popular singers of that era doing their hits. This was really enjoyable and refreshing to watch.
What a great lineup of talent all in one place from my favorite era of music. Today's teen stars can take a lesson from these people and learn what real singing (and manners) is like.
How Ironic Bobby Darin knew 1973 be his year. Although, he married Sandra Dee around 1961. He actually, had The Bobby Darin show in 1973, he struggled throughout the year with his heart complications. He was told he would not live probably until 16. Its why at the age 12 he was determined to fo great things. He lived until 37. So, he knew 1973 would be his year. This is some of my favorite singers & actors. It mentions the male performers but, Connie Francis also in it. Thanks for sharing❣️

Rock 'n' Roll was truly dead & buried...the era of great ballad/love songs [1960 to' 63] was coming to an end...this was the very short lived time of bland new 'crooning'; 1962/63.... ...waiting in the wings was the British invasion!
6/O8 / 2OI9 : from Paris : phan kim dien . blogspot.com , REALLY THANK I Hundred , millions time to YOU : th vault for THIS show / document . I'm 73 years old : viet du cambodge ..In EXILE , I grew -up with r'n'r' etc ...
Beautiful singing dancing acting 1960 tv special show for coco cola. This show I believe impressed and influenced alot of people of that time. The coco cola drink that refreshes side effects not so good as it impacted many with bone problems diet and diabetes etc. Blessings
It’s funny, during the “songs mother taught me” segment (2nd to last), Paul Anka clearly states he was born in the year 1942, yet when you look up his birth date on Google, it says he was born on July 30th, 1941!
So beautiful, so much talent. The ghostly sounds of our wonderful past.....alas, when we had a country worth living and dying for that was not 260 trillion in debt. Not the ginchiest anymore kooky.
Great trip down memory lane. Wonderful performances. The only problem is the sponsor: Coke. Thanks to Coke ,I and millions of others are suffering with diabetes! Things REALLY DON'T go better with coke!!!
Coca Cola was the sponser for the Eddie Fisher live TV Show in the 1950s. I was 5 or 6 yrs old when I went to the dress rehearsal to meet Eddie. He was my dream man as a little girl. The people there gave me a bottle of coke .
All are talented but Paul Anka outstanding, Annette so pretty and Anita Bryant was right about the future of schools all along , everyone who trashed her owes an apology !
Haben die tatsächlich viel von der Zuckerbrause getrunken ? Für Herzkranke ist das weniger gesund. Hier singt eine sehr charmante Frau. Leider wird ihr Name (mal wieder) nirgends erwähnt. Schon auffällig.
It was at this time music changed..Elvis came home and their management wanted him to have more of a so called respectable image and gave him songs to sing as in, it's now or never.. surrender..a mario lanza type singer...as a result we had a period of ballads and singers such as Roy Orbison, who didn't do that well as a rock a billy, he became more popular with his dynamic ballads, as well as many new artist of this type..Gene Pitney, Bobby Rydell and more...The Beatles brought a change and all the followers made even more radically changes such as Zeplin..
@@j.r.arnolli7494 Pat Boone always infuriated me. Especially so when this creepy white square did a sanitized version of Tutti Frutti. I am 70 and was very musically savvy way back then. I was a professional musician for 50 years. While Pat could actually sing quite well and is remarkably composed for such a young man, there was always “something” about Pat that made me want to shoot out my television screen when he would come on back in the 50’s. In fact, when I saw this I had the urge to bludgeon my cell phone with the sledgehammer I have in my garage. This entire video really illustrates how the Beatles changed American music and culture for better or worse, depending on your perspective. However, I still detest Pat even now when I see him doing commercials for Australian Dream.
Oh come now. Just because they're not running around with their fannies and boobies hanging out, and a whole slew of muscled down dancers behind them? Janet Jackson and her brother started the trend what? Three decades ago? It's boring now. The desparation to garner attention today is so palpable today's artists are only just one step away from what live porn shows known as burlesque werer in those days. Nasty parading about trying to be considered music or art is just nasty parading about trying to be considered music or art. It's fun once, or twice, but gets old very quick. I won't get started on the horrors that autotune brought us (and still bringing us 22 years later). Back then music went through massive changes every five years or less. Today, music hasn't changed at all since the turn of the century. Nothing but EDM, Rap, & Hiphop for the past two decades with nary a meaningful change or shift in sight. Almost eveything you hear today is some last ditch effort to rip off stuff from the past - blatently. And trying to be serious while doing it. It's so bad today that young people think a musician has been super creative because he or she has just sampled another song from decades ago in some weired and boringly novel way. And again, this sampling crap is now two decades plus old as well. Nope, until something truly unique and unheard of that is of value arises, I'll remain with the past. And just for the record, new and unique for the sake of being new and unique won't cut it. It has to be meaningful, arresting, and completely new and fresh.
