Hollywood Palace 4-04 Adam West (host), Ray Charles, George Carlin, Roy Rogers & Dale Evans 

Rest in Peace Mr. Adam West. You were a true class act and a talent, you will be missed.

Thanks for posting that. Adam West was a great host. I wish there were shows like this now. But I am not sure we really have the talent pool anymore.

In 1966 l was 6 and my friends and l all were in love with Batman. And he could sing and not look cheesy in that silly costume. These were great days! Loving The Hollywood Palace. 😉

There won t be another show like this again with the star power it presented each week made it number 1 in its time slot.

What a time capsule! I gotta say that Dutch Masters commercial is somehow one of the most psychedelic things I’ve ever seen.

Adam West was very talented. Singing and performing with Roy Rogers and his wife Dayle Evans. Adam made it look easy onstage singing. All 3 actors/ performers are gone now. But I will certainly never forget them! May all 3 of their souls continue on!

He really is honoured to be the host, and gets along so well with the guests. His respect for Ray Charles is so genuine...

The announcer, Dick Tufeld, was the voice of the robot from Lost in Space. "Danger, danger!

This is genius, Adam is awesome! A funky show to boot (funky as in happenin', y'know fresh, and all that jazz, see, yeah!)

Always a pleasure seeing Adam West

A thank you from Hollywood for keeping this show's memory alive

This was a great hour of entertainment, then and now! Adam West singing with Roy and Dale. First I've seen of the gorgeous Joey Heatherton in years. The Batman number was fun too!.

the commercials take me back as much as the show.

They just don’t make entertainers like this anymore but I’m grateful to have grown up in this era. This Saturday weekly Show on abc was great.

Wonderful offering in this series. I vaguely remembering it at age 14. Part vaudeville, part variety, part circus. This particular one was exceptional. The Ray Charles set was especially superb --- great song choices.

Always loved to watch and hear Ray Charles.

All of the acts were great. Adam West was an excellent host. Ray Charles and his orchestra and backup singers, were stupendous! Danny Sailor elevated my fear of heights while watching him stand on top of a high rise telephone pole...doing one legged squats!!

Que buen programa que calidad que equipos usan desde la camara al microfono Que bueno es el ventrilucuo y ni habar del equilibrista .- perfecto el show que calidad hoy en dia no hay programas asi

kudos to the live musicians of the Hollywood Palace... it's a sin we don't have these type of shows anymore...

George Carlin's Indian Sergeant, Adam West singing, Ventriloquists from France, a high pole act, Ray Charles in his prime and Roy and Dale Rogers! Even the commercials are a HOOT! DIET Fruit! Soft Spread margarine! Cigarettes! This was great! TO THE BATMOBILE!

They are all great, but Roy Rogers and Dale Evans are more than special.. They lived their lives off screen as the same as on screen..

Back when "Entertainment" actually entertained!

Incredible time capsule this is!

This was pure Batmania,1966! ABC's superior "THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE" variety series,the finest of its kind,also played a heavy hand promoting ABC's "BATMAN",and i'm rather disappointed that the Warner Home Video DVD release of the BluRay series didn't include Batman's appearances on this vintage ABC series-this would've been the ultimate testiment of Batman's impact in 1966,even on the very network that originated the series!

RAY CHARLES WAS INCREDIBLE >.. even on Heroin (when this was recorded i believe he was still on Heroin) that man was a human musical instrument, amazing im speechless .. blown away ..

Adam West had true talent...And he could sing!

Very interesting fact that Burt Ward (Robin) had also recorded "Orange Coloured Sky". It was a B-side to "Boy Wonder I Love You" both songs produced by none other than Frank Zappa! Look it up here on RU-vid!

Big respect to the fitness of Adam West - in his early 40's at this time.....check his landing at the beginning.......that's why he's so spritely to this day in his early 80's. Wikiiiiid !

What a group of guest stars!

Adam West was sooo handsome!

It’s always such a joy to watch Joey Heatherton dancing. This episode includes a great song by her at 10:00

Ray Charles and his band were smokin' hot!!!!

RIP Adam West, Ray Charles

Adam just oozes charm, then and now !

this is incredible

Adam was cool as hell. He paved the way for Keaton & Bale & he is still going strong in his eighties.

Roy Rogers was quite an accomplished bootmaker, and made most of his own boots.

...thanks very much for uploading this gem.

What ever happened to "Variety Shows"!!!???? these shows were so GOOD!!!!! this is a great video, with commercials, too!

Rest in peace dear Adam you will always be remembered. Goodnight godbless you sir . From Michael from Yorkshire and proud of it .

George Carlin was as outrageously funny back then as he later on.

RIP, Adam West - Batman.

Pure. West.

The Hollywood Palace is now called the Avalon Theater. Rock acts perform there. The theater is across Vine Street from Capital Records. The Capital Records building can be seen in the segment featuring the man on the log.

Ray Charles musicians & female singers were his own personal musical group/family

What a great idea..

I guess Adam West is the only Batman who can sing

Funny how George Carlin ended up sounding like the Indian sergeant he was imitating here

wow ! is there no end to this guys talent !! lol !

Great to hear William Schallert on the Chiffon Margarine commercial.

Slow to get going but very well done !! Thanks for taking the time to upload this,lovely memories of bygone days !!

Holy smokes! Roy Rogers asked if he could BORRY the Bat-copter! Haha, that takes me back!

Roy Rogers was my Hero growing up, my mom also got me a Roy Rogers guitar

I never knew Adam could sing!!!

Batman singing. That's something new.

First spot for Dutchmasters, second guy, singing, from the right=THURL RAVENSCROFT, Tony the Tiger and the singing narrator of the "Grinch That Stole Christmas"= unmistakeable voice..

Did you recognize that familiar deep voice in the Dutch Masters opening ad? The guy who sang, "There are smiles that have a tender meaning". He's Thurl Ravenscroft, the voice of Tony the Tiger, among other voiceovers. Great show! Always loved to watch Hollywood Palace. Haven't seen this one since first-run. Thanx so very much for sharing this little treasure! So great that you included the original ads. It helps with the nostalgia trip. It's greatly appreciated that you share the full show with us. Clips are fun, but being able to see the entire show again is just sooooo wonderful! More, please? Thanx muchly for all you do!

I Remember watching this a a kid wow was i ever excited my childhood hero Batman AKA Adam West

" Dutch Masters" that was a great one!! @ 10:00 ..wow, Joey was fine and what a voice & moves too!! Class act entertainment!! I was just 3 years old when this aired....Beautiful time of life!! A young Carlin too! @ 22:10..The great Ray Charles! Wow, Jamie Foxx looked JUST like him here at this stage in Ray's life! Plus his talent, he got that "Oscar" for a reason!

Genious. R.I.P.

This the ABC-TV i grew-up watching,decades before Disney ruined this network with crap like "DANCING WITH THE STARS" and "MODERN FAMILY"-garbage!! "THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE" was the norm and heart of the variety series,and the best of its kind,to ever grace TV-and really people,,THIS is what REAL TV was all about!!

Wow! I didn't know that Adam West could sing!

..I was 6 years old back then ..I'm 58 !

Adam West sounds and sing almost exactly like Kelsey Grammer. 😁

Adam West is awesome………

What a moment in entertainment history. Almost the same day as this was recorded, the Beatles were beginning their last tour of the U.S. Seemed entertainment and music changed in a huge way after this. Roy Rogers and Ray Charles on the same bill?

color video taping in outdoor look amazing for 1966

rip Adam West

The parody of orange colord sky lol

I remember watching this as a 7 year old.

I Was 5 Years Old, At That Time!

wow, the gold ages

RIP ADAM WEST

This was a treat

i had to beg my dad to let me stay up past 9pm so i could watch Batman guest appearance .

Thurl Ravenscroft, voice of Tony the Tiger, The Grinch singer, etc, the third from the right and in front on The Dutch Masters single spot right off the bat.

Dang that BATMAN costume oozed all kinds of cheese and that performance! 😂

He could have been an even better singer - his voice is naturally inclined that way.....just talking, it sounds melodic.

Producer Nick Vanoff began his early career as a dancer, performing on Broadway & in TV…reason for booking performers with dancers in their act…also hiring choreographers…

Cool show. George Carlin not swearing?! Ray Charles was great. Alexander's Rag Time Band was a little fast but the other numbers were spot on in my opinion.

Adam West sang “live” - no lip cync..!

Didn't Know Batman could sing RIP AW!!! Ray Charles was excellent and I noticed that Mary ( documentary about background singers) was in this footage as one of the Raelettes. Joey H. was always on TV when I was child and suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth. My dad was a big fan of Roy Rodgers and Dale Evans, they seemed like really nice people! Who didn't like the show Batman?? The best episode was the one between Batman/Robin and Green Hornet/Kato!!! I am sorry but Kato was whipping Robin's behind in those fight scenes!

Not bad. He has a distinct voice.

They just don't make good stuff like this anymore and thats the real crime!

Adam West starred in the last 3 stooges motion picture "the outlaws are comin"

This is amazing... it doesn't get much campier than Batman doing a show-stopping number with a bunch of dancers dressed like something out of Austin Powers. ...Unless it's a group of men in leather doing a Fosse routine with a leggy blonde. :-)

Today, Mr. West passed into eternity at age 88, from leukemia. Before his death, there were four survivors from the *BATMAN* show: Mr West, Burt Ward, Lee Merriwether, and Julie Newmar; now, they're down to just a family of three.

Holy Vibrato, Batman!

rest in peace, batman ☹️

Gray skies are gonna clear up, Put on a happy face; Brush off the clouds and cheer up, Put on a happy face. Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy, It's not your style; You'll look so good that you'll be glad Ya' decide to smile! Pick out a pleasant outlook, Stick out that noble chin; Wipe off that "full of doubt" look, Slap on a happy grin! And spread sunshine all over the place, Just put on a happy face! Put on a happy face Put on a happy face And if you're feeling cross and bitterish Don't sit and whine Think of banana split and licorice And you'll feel fine I knew a girl so gloomy She'd never laugh or sing She wouldn't listen to me Now she's a mean old thing So spread sunshine all over the place And put on a happy, happy face Put on a happy, happy, happy face Oh, come on bubby, smile its your birthday

Roy & Dale were like a hand in glove & not like OJ's!

Although both will be classy mum on this, I would not be surprised if Joey and Adam enjoyed some quality time together after this broadcast. Some things even Batman cannot resist.

Adam West’s singing was actually pretty decent.

I too miss variety shows of this type. They should at least try to do new ones. I know there wouldn't be many of the greats left to appear on them but some of the newer people can do some acting.

*My parents died but I'm just gonna sing a show tune and dance and not be depressed*

Harley: Bravo, Bats! I knew ya had it in ya! Puddin' never sings Big Band for me...

Boy times have really changed...I forgot tobacco was once advertised on television

I wonder if that musical number at the beginning was the inspiration for the Superman musical nearly 10 years later?

Wow a clean George carlin

OMG, it seems I´m in the twilight zone !
