![What's My Line? - Ava Gardner (Sep 13, 1953) [CORRECTED]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TV8D3eeA4OE/mqdefault.jpg)
We watched "Your Hit Parade" every week! I don't think we ever missed it! My dad bought a 19 inch RCA Victor television in 1952. Absolutely love this show since music is a large part of my life. Thank you for sharing this fantastic video!!
I was 9-years old and remember all of these. My mom had some of them on 78 records. Later some were on 45s. :-)
So was I, 9 years old. My dad was a musician so we watched almost all the shows.
Me, too!
Man I was born two weeks later. Old man now. I remember the first song
Thank you from Amsterdam.

I remember these songs, but we didn't have television in '54.
You are old?
You have to remember that, during this period. there *were* some families who didn't rush right out to buy television sets- Crosley or otherwise. They continued to depend on radio for their primary source of an evening's entertainment. But the pattern of "traditional" radio programming was starting to change in the face of television {the radio edition of 'YOUR HIT PARADE", featuring Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians, ended in the summer of 1953 because American Tobacco wanted to focus more of its advertising budget on television}- and by the summer of 1955, most of the "big" radio shows had disappeared (including Bob Hope, Jack Benny and "LUX RADIO THEATER"). You could still listen to daytime "soaps", informal variety shows [including Arthur Godfrey and Art Linkletter's "HOUSE PARTY"] and quiz programs........but the number of them continued to dwindle through the end of the decade. Television had become *THE* mass medium for entertainment....and those who still listened to radio were much smaller in number.
@@fromthesidelines Yes, and the folks didn't rush out and buy one because the nearest TV station was 95 miles away...through the foothills. When we did get one, dad put an antenna up that was high enough to give an eagle a nose bleed. Then we had one channel that was 40% "Snow" for a picture.
On the radio, dad's favorite was the Texaco News Hour, and I can't remember if it came on at 9 or 10 PM. I believe it was 10, way too long ago to be sure, LOL
I think it was '57 when we got TV. My mom watched a couple of the soaps, but when Jack Bailey come on with "Queen for a day", she had to watch that. White King D laundry soap sponsored a ton of those daytime shows. It paid off for them.
This is exciting! Raymond Scott invented the idea of "sequenced" music that all electronic music is based on.
I like background music 🎶
Some of the the best Canadian musical talent came out of Winnipeg. Gizzy Mac, Lenny Breau, Neil Young, Terry Jacks, The Guess Who, BTO, Crash Test Dummies, Chantal Kreviazuk to name but a few. And seeing as Gizzy Mac was a quintuple threat (sing, dance, act, concert level piano and violin and do comedy) we should also mention The Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Canada's oldest ballet company and the longest continuously operating ballet company in North America.
Enjoyed this one - always love the big numbers with all the dancers and singers.
17:50 That lift and carry of Giselle turned out to be quite a production. Somebody got an embarrassingly long amount of time trying being under and lifting her bottom half. They must have talked that one over post production. Can you believe that they put on a whole show, including commercials, live? There were at least 15 people in the band alone. What a production!
The Crosley 21" TV was advertised for $169.95 which in 2022 dollars is $1,756
Man, I love Gizzy Mac, she is so good in Hernando's Hideaway. I honestly think she was a step above the others.
Gisele was a regular on "YOUR HIT PARADE" from 1953 through '57, then appeared on her own variety show in the 1957-'58 season.
@@fromthesidelines She was the only one on the show to have her own "hit" featured on the show.
Gisele on "This Is Your Life" ruclips.net/video/SN5UbR9vFKU/видео.html
"Hard To Get" was written for Gisele to sing in a May 1955 episode of "JUSTICE" (the plot concerned a young singer taken advantage of by an unscupulous agent). It became a hit because of her performance in that episode.
So, how are we better off now?
We aren't.
suchfun slow the Manhattan dance number down to .85 and Bobby Burgess himself could have choreographed the routine. These are Great Shows. !!!
29:35- "Bobby Van headlines the 'SUMMER COMEDY HOUR' tomorrow night, on NBC TELEVISION."
As seen on Saturdays at 10:30pm(et).
1:25 What about the claim that this was a scientific survey of the top hits. From wiki “However, the exact procedure of this "authentic tabulation" remained a secret. Some believe song choices were often arbitrary due to various performance and production factors.”
I'm quite certain the people at Batton, Barton, Durstine & Osborn {American Tobacco''s ad agency} had a number of people who kept an ear on which popular songs were heard the most on radio {and television}, checked sheet music sales........and probably consulted the BILLBOARD pop music charts as well [which also tabulated the most popular songs played on jukeboxes].
Crosley was the series' alternate sponsor for the 1953-'54 season (and this was their final telecast; Richard Hudnut became the series' new alternate sponsor in September 1954).
Bob Wright speaks for Crosley (he later "shilled" for Kent cigarettes).
Thanks for that, I knew the face and the voice, I just didn't know the name. I have an interest in those staff announcers back in the day like Andre Baruch and Dennis James etc. They are prominent in a good doc called Butt Out: The Life and Death of Cigarette Advertising on TV ruclips.net/video/HcUt_L9suJo/видео.html
Quick Home Perm; get it Quick!
Сложная режиссура мизансцен, хорошая операторская работа. И это в 1954 году.
With hindsight, it looks to me like the adults were desperately clinging to the 1940's musically. Where's Lloyd Price, Bill Haley, Big Joe Turner, etc?
Bill Haley 's "Rock Around the Clock" and Big Joe Turner's "Shake, Rattle and Roll" had already been released- but they hadn't made an impact on mainstream record buyers as yet. "Sh-Boom", by the Chords, was starting to climb the charts until The Crew Cuts recorded their "sanitized" version that summer.....and it became a hit by the fall of '54. That's when "YOUR HIT PARADE" started to feature it {usually performed in a "novelty" setting- same as "Tweedle Dee" in the spring of 1955}....but the impact of rock 'n' roll wasn't really felt until the fall of '55, when "Rock Around the Clock" became a hit [due to it being heard on the soundtrack of "Blackboard Jungle"]. By 1956, "The Great Pretender" and "Heartbreak Hotel" were performed on 'YOUR HIT PARADE"- but you'd never know they were "rock" songs by the way the cast interpreted them. But more kids wanted to hear "rock 'n' roll", and "YOUR HIT PARADE" wasn't giving them what *they* wanted to hear.....and their ratings started to slide..............
@@fromthesidelines Yeah, Your Hit Parade be like "Sorry, we don't do this newfangled rock n roll stuff."
Was the word JukeBox banned for television.
The program preferrred not to refer to "jukeboxes" in particular, because the term sounded "disreputable" to sponsor American Tobacco.. They identified them as "automatic coin machines".
What did crosley not make?
Don’t know. Compared to today’s Crosley, it’s nothing but cheap record players and stereo component systems that were “Made in China”. Crosley made the Cruiser portable record player, the worst record player ever made.
