That would be a sad show, because of the tragic death of Harry Blackstone ]I[ (son of the famouse magician Harry Blackstone). He is the boy with the dark brown pants, bright yellow shirt, and orange sash around his waist. The most talented guy is the tall hispanic looking guy with the long black hair with orange vest and yellow sleeves.
Agree so sad. But it would be very interesting to see a where are they now episode. It at lest appears that so far the ONLY information out there is regarding Mr. Curb and never any mention of the other members. @@johnroy9654
The red-headed boy is still alive. His name is Rusty Keller. Besides working with Mike Curb he appeared in an episode of The Waltons and, James at 16. The rumor of him getting killed at Mc Donalds is false.
The character played by Rusty Keller in The Waltons and James at 16 is very likely the redhead in the M. C. Congregation as the resemblance (facial features, hair and build) between the two is stunning. Unfortunately, I haven't found out anything else about Rusty since those appearances, and it's been over 40 years. Such a talented kid, it's surprising (and a shame) he didn't continue performing and making a name for himself. Lastly w/r/t the rumor of his getting killed at McDonalds 10 years after the M. C. Congregation performances, that would have occurred in the early to mid 1980s, which is well past The Waltons and James at 16 episodes. Maybe, with luck, we'll find out more about what happened with this guy.
I totally agree and just watched Oliver again recently. Very happy these clips have been uploaded by “Mike Curb Congregation”. They were regulars on Glen Campbell’s show. Choreography and Arrangements superb.
The blond little girl was Patty Cahoon. She went on to star in Apples Way, and many guest spots and commercials. The dark haired boy is Harry B. Blackstone III.
According to some of the other threads the red haired boy actually ended up getting killed like 10 years after these videos when he tried to stop a robbery at a restaurant.
That little red head kid sure enjoyed himself. I love seeing these videos!
These videos are great. I just love unabashed warmth, joy and wholesomeness.
You can't stop at just one, it's a case of "just one more". The Mike Curb Congregation is a full blown habit
We need shows like this again.
I've developed a powerful Mike Curb Congregation habit... "It all started innocently enough, with Burning Bridges"
Me too
What a magnificent Oliver Medley song by the Mike Curb Congregation!!
I wish it were possible for them to get as many of them as possible back together and have a where are they now episode.
That would be great!

I don't mean to put you on the spot, but, can you verify Rusty is still alive?
Lovely performance, especially when they mix "Where Is Love" with "As Long As He Needs Me". It was ingenious!!

My favorite part of this clip with the shot of all the girls singing together. It just makes one smile with joy.
I mean, these are cheesy, but the vocal and instrumental arrangements are really quite something!!!
This is very good but it needs to be on for a much longer version with more of the songs from Oliver.
Who is the red head kid? Anyone know his name? Just curious
They wood have to get Mike Curb to get some young people. This is from I was a teen, I'm not sure if they are around any more.
Anyone know who all the members were?

"the red-haired kid is good but he is
over doing it a little however at times.".
The little red haired boy probably ended up as Chucky. What became of the little Asian girl ?
According to some of the other threads the red haired boy actually ended up getting killed like 10 years after these videos when he tried to stop a robbery at a restaurant.
My thoughts entirely who was the little Asian girl and what's she doing now
@@dereksmith4177 I believe her name is Teresa Jaw.
Thank you did she do any other t v work?
@@dereksmith4177 Teresa has one mention on IMDB in Mayberry RFD. She played the part of The Kid from Hong Kong. I think it was before MCC.
