    The memories are flooding back. I think I was 9 or 10 when I first saw and fell in love with this movie. Sidney Poitier was blazing quite a trail in the 6os. Good show! I'd only add that Sidney also played a student in "Blackboard Jungle". It was his breakout role.

    Happy New Year, Rick. Loved this podcast. I never gave much attention to pop music and the artists while I was growing up, but recognized songs on the radio (usually singing the wrong words to the songs). I recognized all these songs. Tony was obviously very talented and just loved doing what he did, not grasping for the attention. Very interesting podcast, Rick. Thank you.

    i have seen every episode over and over. My grandfather, who was at Pearl Harbor when it got hit, was a big fan. For the record, there IS a single time where Klink comes out ahead at the end of the episode. Hogan strings him along with the idea of a rich, young, beautiful widow. We don't see her during the episode, but right before the end credits, Klink comes back from his blind date with her, and he storms up to Hogan, and gives him a bottle of champagne as a reward for his help.

    Hogan’s Heroes was my favorite comedy as a kid. A mix of Nazi menace leavened by Nazi bumbling and Allied bravery, inventiveness and humor. It probably sparked my lifelong interest in WW2 history. Thanks Rick!

    As a young boy growing up in east London, I actually went to the film premier of this film. The Odeon cinema, Mile End in east London. A neighbour of mine had three tickets. Don’t ask me how he got them,but I have great memories of the film. At the end of the film, all the actors came on stage! I think the school depicted, Cable Street in east London.

    The song was recorded in Odessa Texas. In 1971 ir 72 was a college student at Texas Tech, in Lubbock up the road from Odessa. I was hired to do a string arrangement for a song that was already recorded and gathered some string players I knew to record the strings onto the main track. It was released (as I learned about 40 years late)r as their last 45. I was really surprised when I found out they were kind enough to give me credit for the string arrangement on the record label. ruclips.net/video/Z53aZAVZNRU/видео.html
