@78rpmblog 5 лет назад

He's doing a superb job to keep a straight face to Freddie Morgan's antics.

@demef758 4 года назад

It took a ton of will power to keep a straight face as Pop did while Freddie did his thing!

One of the great comedic geniuses now lost in the past. So great to see this performance still preserved!

@timbarnes-trb Месяц назад

Huge Slicker fan here! Never saw this clip before! Thanks for making it available!

@deepblue1963 Год назад

Amazing musicians. When Spike paused the comedy during their shows and they just jammed. It was mind-blowing! 💯👊🏻

@andyleclerc3600 Год назад

Forget trying to keep s straight face once Freddie Morgan starts his bit🤣🤣🤣

@baumcollcsame7871 5 лет назад

@LUSCIOUSDUNCAN Год назад

i was born in 1990. i ostensibly should perceive this as a painfully cringey relic of a bygone era BUUuuUUuuUT i gotta say this is unbelievably funny. the banjo player is SUCH a good physical comedian it's insane

@jokerfreak1973 11 месяцев назад

I want so bad to find videos of Spike Jones. He was introduced to me when I was a child by my Grandfather when he was alive.

@johnmitchelljr Год назад

Never disappoints. Thank you.

@demef758 4 года назад

Jones had the good sense to know that when you have great comedic talent on the staff, such as Freddie Morgan, then you let them do their things, stand back, and enjoy it with the audience. Although Jones is the straight man here, you can see Jones bust out laughing @ 4:07. What a fantastic act Jones had!

@omalone1169 Год назад

when they claim that they dont see colour

@qqleq Год назад

I only know Morgan form Spike Jones, but I can see immediately that he is one of the best in clownery that I've ever seen.

My mom famous dancer all over the world first husband was banjo great Freddie Morganstern.. two seldom together due to different talents yet had my gorgeous step sister Ann.. who died recently in her 80's our mom Sethma Williams died 2014 at 99... Freddie and Eddie Peabody considered two of the world's best banjo players in their time and both revered by banjo players around the world 🌎

@thepizzasnobofnepasnj3730 3 года назад

Surprised to learn the MDA telethon has been around that long.

@phillipnelson6076 2 года назад

For many of the early years it was only on a few TV stations.

Chaos pilots and break dancers ... before they where invented. Amazing

@ellenrosenblatt5463 2 года назад

6:39 The very first BREAKDANCE ever

@exploreguitar684 4 года назад

First thought the same, but have a look here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-14QEoEIvUuk.html

@KeithE4 3 года назад

@@exploreguitar684 -- That film was from 1946. Curly Howard of the Three Stooges was "break dancing" a decade earlier. Woowoowoowoowoo!

@johnsturdy6429 4 года назад

beat that!!! impossible

@carolynebbert1482 Год назад

Could that have been the worlds first break dancer at the 6:39 time stamp? Seen him doing more extensive moves elsewhere.

@carolynebbert1482 Год назад

Could someone tell us his name?

@jackfitzpatrick5566 Год назад

Crazy to think Spike Jones and Dean Martin interacted at some point. I don’t know why this is a crazy concept but they’re such polar opposites.

@MrTruckerf 5 лет назад

Freddie Morgan reminds me of Harpo Marx at times, and the whole schtick here is one of bedlam and chaos in the fashion of the Marx brothers.

@AudiophileTommy 10 месяцев назад

🤯I now know where Rowan Atkinson got his character Mr.Bean from (watch the banjo player at the start of this performance .

@MikeSmith-eb2jm Год назад

I can see where Mad Magazine got it's character Alfred E Newman

@screamingeagle3032 3 года назад

Is that Dean Martin in the beginning clip?

@echoecho3108 2 года назад

Yep. Dino and Jerry were still speaking to each other then.

@mellotronage7073 5 лет назад

What ? No latrine-ophone ? (instrument made from a toilet seat that the City Slickers used/invented)

@batouttahell454 Год назад

Anyone remember ERNIE KOVACS???

@pianopappy Год назад

Yes, from the time he first went on television on WPTZ, channel 3, in Philadelphia in the early 1950's. His zany program, called "Three to Get Ready", aired in the early-morning time slot eventually taken over by NBC's "Today" show. Ernie, himself, later starred in daytime and evening network programs on NBC and later on ABC. He often used music in his bits until he died in January 1962 in a one-car accident.

@russs7574 8 месяцев назад

Kovacs was hysterical. He is generally credited with developing "blackout comedy," which was raised to another level in the late 60's/early 70's on "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In." Not only that, he was married to Edie Adams, who was hot, hot, hot.
