Real don steele

Ron, will you publish the book your Dad wrote in its entirety? It's one book I would definitely read and I'd say you are the only person that could make that happen. Your Dad was one in a million. That was his plan, to publish the book, wasn't it???

I’m beyond excited to see this and subscribe ❤. Thank you!!!! Your family is wonderful, and your dad is my all time favorite ❤

Hi, Ronnie! What a wonderful memory - I enjoy watching the show here in New York every morning. I hope all things are well with you, and happy holidays your way. Take care, God bless...

From a Limey: If only I had by chance bought a copy of Billboard (available in some of the big cities) in the mid-50's and established a US pen friend! Instead, teenagers were subjected to the stultifying output of the BBC, so 'Unionis'd' that needle-time (playing records) was utterly stifled. Growing up in the US with the wide rash of Radio stations available would have been audio heaven.

At 0:55 if you look to the right over Hazel’s head you will see a white picket fence. That’s Mr. Wilson’s house from the TV show Dennis the Menace and to the left of that fence is the Partridge Family House. Judging from where this scene is being filmed, the Baxter house is the house to the left of the Bewitched house.

I don't remember the Silver Banjo restaurant. Interesting to know it was Don Defore's restaurant since I used to watch "Hazel" as a kid in the early 1960s. It was and still is one of my favorite TV shows. Living in Southern California, we went to Disneyland every year, the first time was probably 1961, and we always ate lunch on what we called the "tuna boat" which was the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship restaurant. It was probably my mother's idea the first time we ate there, but my sister and I liked it so we wanted to eat there every time we went to Disneyland. Not sure when the Silver Banjo closed, but I have learned about other restaurants and attractions at Disneyland that were there since opening day but I was never aware of, so those places must have closed sometime in the early to mid 1960s.

Wow! What a fabulous sonic time capsule. Thanks so much. 📻😊

If only we could bring back the sound, the energy, and the excitement of those days. We could save radio!

It’s been said before, but you do sound so much like your father. Such a nice voice! He has been my longtime favorite as I am an avid Hazel watcher. You must’ve had an amazing childhood.!

Another great part of a "Hazel" episode....that 🏈 he kicked ended up in The Johnson's chimney....AGAIN in same episode.....thanks for the slide in of your info in this of something we never knew back then. I as a kid was a watcher from the very 1st episode of Hazel as it aired. I am now 72. Your Dad & Shirley Booth's chemistry together was the secret to the show's success. I still watch Hazel EVERYDAY...... on my cable's Antenna TV channel. I do recall my family could not believe when your father & Whitney Blake were dropped by the show, I always wondered if Shirley Booth had anything at all to do with this??---I do know what the history books say about this situation.

fantastico Ron!

What a contrast from todays Hollywood! I much admire your dad and am so glad he and your mother stayed together

Great history!

Hi Ron, I just wanted to say that I have always been a super fan of your Dad since I was a little girl!! He was so totally an amazing talent! I have recently been “soaking up” all of your Dad’s videos on RUclips from his appearances on “Ozzie and Harriet”, “Hazel” as well as any other appearances and biographies! He always epitomized a good guy that was smart, handsome, and with an air of seriousness yet he was able to melt and completely do a U-turn like in many episodes of Hazel. I research the Golden Age of Hollywood Motion Pictures, TV, and Radio and oftentimes once you start delving into great beloved actors, one is sometimes disappointed at how they really were in real life. With your Dad, I found the opposite to be true……he was such a fine man in real life! I have been watching your channel chronicling your successes as well as well as your Dad’s! I know he is looking down proudly at you! Sending you many blessings!

Thanks for this - I have included this in an article I wrote for another website I own - Nursery Rhyme Central! it is great to hear the original lyrics and really hear why and how it became such a huge hit!

According to Google search he was worth 93 million at the point of his death. I suppose it was devided among his children or maybe only his favorite children. That is if he had favorites.

Always enjoy seeing this show it wouldn't be the same without Don

Wow! You look like him.

My Grandfather, Ronnie Kemper, who's portrayed on the Music Sheet Cover sang the song, as his own rendition and was hired by Lipton Tea to do his version.

Did Don or Shirley like kitty cats?

How beautiful! As a fellow behind two life-story documentaries (both musical--the first about a Woodstock Festival bands manager [etc.] and the second about a pioneering record store owner during Detroit's Golden Age of music) I would recommend you to turn all those clips you have of your dad as well as the memories you and others still living have into a documentary about the man. You are the best equipped person on earth to handle producing the documentary your father would love. I hope you can and will do that I will pray for America. Please pray for me. God Bless you.

Man...what a trip down menory lane! I grew up in Los Angeles. I am 73 years old...and I remember when these stations were popular!❤😊👍

What year was this recording released? I remember my second grade class learning that song and going up on stage to sing it for Parents Night at my school. We had cool choreography for that song too! Thanks for posting this!

I am a baby boomer and grew up in the sixties.I could hardly wait for Hazel to come on .Still watch it on reruns.

Always liked Don Defore,he seemed like a very nice guy!
