Great news! This video is available with the ORIGINAL kinescope audio and superior quality here: • Video
www.therenegade... We streamed southern rock, pop and country 24/7 until 1/1/16, now shuttered because of high royalty rates... Two new videos from "Seventeen"have bee posted, Billie and Lillie - La De Dah at • Billie and Lillie - La... and a rarity by Buddy Knox - Swingin' Daddy at • Buddy Knox - Swingin' ... (what's WOI, tv born of the atom? scroll down)
OK, ready or not, here's more strollin' from "Seventeen" (WOI-TV Ames IA 2/1/1958) If near the end, the kids don't seem quite on the beat, don't blame them, blame difficulties adding audio back to this selection. (ISU Special Collections has the entire kinescope posted on RU-vid, sans songs for the most part.)

WOI-TV, atomic-powered television? It didn't use nuclear power, at least not at first. But it's been strongly rumored that Iowa State College (now University) got the seed money to build the station by helping to enrich uranium for the Manhattan project during WWII.

On this day in 1958 {March 31st} Chuck Willis was a guest on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... At the time his "Betty and Dupree" was at #86 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, that was also it's eleventh and last week on the chart, five weeks earlier it had peaked at #33 {for 3 weeks} on Billboard's Best-Sellers in Stores chart... It reached #15 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart... Between 1952 and 1958 the Georgia native had fourteen records on the Hot R&B Singles chart, ten made the Top 10 with two* reaching #1, "C.C. Rider" for two weeks in 1957 and "What Am I Living For?" for one week in 1958... Sadly, just ten days after his appearance on 'Bandstand', on April 10th, 1958, Harold 'Chuck' Willis passed away at the young age of 32 {peritonitis}... May he R.I.P. * He just missed having a third #1 record when his "My Story" peaked at #2 {for 1 week} in late 1952, and the week is was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "Five Long Years" by Eddie Boyd...

@deanslist101 9 лет назад

In case y'all didn't know, that was "Daddy G" (Gene Barge) on sax. He backed Chuck Willis on a few of his songs, as well as other great singers on the Atlantic label in the '50s, before really finding his groove in the early '60s with Gary U.S. Bonds. "Quarter to Three," one of the top-selling records of 1961, was originally called "A Night with Daddy G." That same year The Dovells mentioned him in their biggest hit, "The Bristol Stomp." He will be 90 years old next year and he definitely deserves entry into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a sideman. It's a shame and a crime they haven't inducted him yet. He was as much a part of the early R&R scene as anyone else who is in there.

@williamlee9208 7 лет назад

Did not know that, DL101, thanks. I don't think any knowledgeable R&R fan takes the HoF seriously. Baseball fan forums vote on their own Hall of Fame; maybe rock fans could do the same. I bet in a battle of the bands the outsiders would rank pretty high. Start with Daddy G on sax, then who else?

@sharonreeves2949 2 года назад

Bless em, so nervous, barely a smile until the ordeal is over. The lads focussing so much on getting the steps right, they hardly pay attention to their company. Its a lovely window into the time, the delightful innocence of the age, despite it being affected by knowing they were being filmed. Did you see the girl start to laugh and the boy shush her? They were obviously told not to make a sound in front of the camera. Even though its a bit arteficial, it still shows the vast difference between a school dance then and 20 years later, when I went, in the UK, and the dance round your handbags era and prog rock that killed romance forever...'Hi Ho Silver Lining' ended every school 'disco', no longer 'I Only Have Eyes For you' 😢
