The !!!! Beat (TV Program) Vol 6 # Show 26 (1966) 

Yes , the show was Hoss Allen's dream . He had a drinking problem and was a bit tipsy on several of the shows . The show was sold to individual TV stations and was refused by many stations for reasons known to anyone who knows history . Hoss did realize his dream , if only for a short while . Hoss , may you rest in eternal peace and thank you for the wonderful gift you left to us all.

you are so right. Never knew this existed until today 2023.

Hoss clearly loved this music and believed in the show. I was unaware of the circumstances around the last episode.

An absolute treasure ! When I first discovered this gem , I was so blessed to be able to obtain the entire series on DVD . It busted my budget , but I never regretted my gift to me !

Total facts

Yes i agree totally

100!

It's not even close to being the whole STAX/Volt package. There are only two STAX artists here. Sam and Dave, and Otis.

Mitty Collier was a Chess Records artist, Percy Sledge-Atlantic

That's so cool!!! Yaaa.........my Gramps was only part of an amazing 60's soul band, nothing that cool or anything.😉 This is true American music history and should be in the Smithsonian. You should be very proud.

You’re lucky!

What is his name ?

Los blancos con su rock y rock and roll pero el soul quedó muy marcado aparte. Aqui quedó demostrado. WOW

Hello Johnnie, your most welcome :)

@@rachelcummings2705 Percy Sledge toured South africa, about 1969, for the first time. This was at the height of the apartheid days. He played in a coloureds only theater in Cape town. Only coloured people allowed in the theater. He was a huge star in SA, amongst all races. White people smeared their faces with black shoe polish to get in. Strange story, but it's true. Two yrs later the government gave permission for him to play in a whites only theater. Another strange story, obviously only white people allowed in then. Roy b, Cape Town, South africa.

Johanakermyr1437, that was the top.-Period

Way ahead of his time

​@caracasboogie Caracasboogie, just think of how famous OTIS REDDING would have been, in about 1978, (ninteen seventy-eight) if he would have been living, and GOING STRONG.- Wow, too, too, unbelievable.

Jeremy Humboldt, this episode, hosted by the late/great Otis Redding, was the best of ALL of their 26, or so, shows. The second best one, featured Etta James, Lattimore Brown, Roscoe Shelton, and, Ester Phillips.

yes the intro is one of those that kinda sticks !! Thank you for dropping by and commenting :)

Rachel Cummings Thanks for posting these videos. I love watching this show!

@@AdrianDeVore Eu também agradeço a Rachel Cummings por postar esses shows. Eu também adoro esses shows. Essa é a verdadeira história, e a verdadeira raiz da música 🎶 negra norte americana. 😋😋

Why did they cancel the show The Beat

we use ti get the "Jet"magazine.and turn to the back of the page.thats where you would find out which shows on tv were hosting blacks

I think it was a local or regional broadcast. I think it was the best music show ever, anywhere. Wish it would have taken off.
