This episode of "Your Hit Parade" popular music show dates to February 18 1956. The presentation is a kinescope, or a television signal that was recorded from a TV set onto 16mm film. The "Hit Parade" musical review show was sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes and Richard Hudnut Quick Home Permanent, and features advertisements for both products. At 13:21, golfer Sam Snead promotes Luckys. At :33, the animated Lucky Strike cigarettes sequence was created by special effects guru Ray Harryhausen.
"Your Hit Parade" featured elaborate sets and choreography that was inspired both by Hollywood movies and "soundies" -- popular short film versions of popular songs. The show utilized a cast to perform the songs, as opposed to playing the versions then on the air.
At (00:23:32;:04) is An Ad For Ricahrd Hudnut's Home Permanent "Quick" Hair Product.
The "Your Hit Parade" program started out on radio before moving to television in 1950, and ran until 1959. The show presented seven top hit songs. This episode features Giselle Mackenzie, Roy Landman / Snooky Lanson, Polly Bergen, and Russel Arms, as well as Raymond Scott and the Hit Parade Orchestra. (Some other singers on "Your Hit Parade" in this era often included Dorothy Collins, Eileen Wilson and June Valli.) Songs include "Dungaree Doll" (00:02:21:06), "The Great Pretender" (04:40:40:10), "Lady Be Good" (00:07:05:03),"Memories" (00:09:38:21), "Lisbon Antigua" (00:13:19:00), "Sixteen Tons" (00:15:52:12), "Its Almost Tomorrow" (00:18:26:14), "Yankee Doodle Dandy And Your A Grand Old Flag" (00:21:00:22), "The Rock N Roll Waltz" (00:24:35:21)
The songs featured on the program were selected as a result of a secret survey, supposedly based on best selling sheet music and phonograph records, plus tabulations made of songs most heard on the radio and most played on jukeboxes.

I never missed these shows. The fun of "YOUR HIT PARADE" made my week back then. Love seeing again.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It takes me back to the 1950’s. Sure was a lot different then and better.
Especially the segregation!
@@bryansimpson3149 Why do you liberals always say stupid things like this? There were other (nice) things going on besides segregation.
@@bryansimpson3149 What does that mean? Not that I really care that much. Okay, I was 3 years old when this aired. But, I remember it. My daddy had a personal favorite.
Not sure which one, Gisele Mackenzie or Dorothy Collins. Now, that's eerie.
My phone had the answers.
That was pretty cool I think I'm gonna watch another one.
I don’t care what anyone says, these are great shows.
Far better than what’s on today.
I remember the lucky strike commercials that showed the auctioneers walking down the line of tobacco bins and doing the auctioneering holding a microphone.
Originally telecast on February 18, 1956. The "Lucky Strike Extra" at 20:49 honors "Washington's Birthday" {on the following Wednesday, February 22nd}.....and the episode of "FRONTIER" mentioned at 29:28 was "The Voyage of Captain Castle" [February 19, 1956].
Is the announcer Andre Baruch?
YES! He was replaced by Del Sharbutt in the 1957-'58 season.
It's astounding how much our standards for dance have risen. These "dancers" are about as good as your average high schoolers in rural Nebraska now.
MTV old school.
Don Draper came up with Lucky Strike tag line " It's Toasted "
In reality, American Tobacco used the slogan "It's Toasted" as early as 1924, in their magazine and print ads (and on the Luckies packs). What they didn't tell you was that *all* tobacco are "toasted" before being rolled into cigarettes.
Your teeth, throat and lungs were "toasted".
Please change the date for this Your Hit Parade broadcast from September 18, 1956 to February 18, 1956. All of the song hits on this show were "hits" during the early months of 1956. The salute to Washington's birthday confirms a February 1956 date for this broadcast.
I must have been 6 when 16 tons was I hit and I drove everyone crazy because I sang it constantly
They had to figure out a different way to present the songs each week.
From the Washingtons Birthday salute, I'm guessing this was February '56, not September--
Unless "Sixteen Tons" stayed on the charts for 11 months.
RIGHT!
Gotta admit though. I kinda want a Lucky.
As seen on Saturdays at 10:30pm(et), following "THE GEORGE GOBEL SHOW".
Vocal Arrangements by Ray Charles!
Let's face it...rock 'n roll killed Your Hit Parade and the people singing on here killed the rock 'n roll songs they sang. How milk toast can you get?
The woman doing The Lisbon Antigua dance reminds me of Keeli Smith
She's Thelma "Tad" Tadlock. She was a dancer, model, actress, and choreographer for many years. She passed away in December 2000 {cancer}, at the age of 69.
Funny that the American Tobacco Industry made an announcement about heart disease.
The Old Gold cigarette pack and matchbox dancers once dedicated a number to the Heart Fund. Good doc (video is cued) ruclips.net/video/HcUt_L9suJo/видео.html
hahahaaaaaaaaaa
Yeah,I had to chuckle about that. The definition of ironic.
Who knew the outfit I'm the first song would be commonplace today
Amazing. They're probably all deceased.
Is there a way someone could watch the episodes you have without the watermark and time code at the bottom? Maybe purchase them on DVD? That would allow you to make some extra money for film preservation.
When I was in the Navy I smoked those death sticks....
Commanders
L.S.M.F.T Lucky Strikes Means Fine Tobacco.
What happened to Snooky after the show ended.. anyone?
He continued to perform on TV and in nightclubs, did a syndicated radio show out of Nashville, and managed to find time to sell cars and outdoor advertising on the side. He died in 1990, at the age of 76.
😂😂😂😂
That Dungaree Doll song is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Eddie Fisher made it a "Top Ten" hit at the time.
Who asked you?
I was a tiny kid watching this and despised it.
Too bad, so sad. So was I.
Maybe it's because I'm a girl and always liked music.
I'm not really sure of what irked me about it at such an early age. I loved music too , listened to radio and bought 45 rpm records maybe this stuff just lacked authenticity to my young mind. It hasn't aged well either. All that being said, I'm still glad it survived and is posted so those who see it as worthy of attention can enjoy it. There is talent there for sure but the choreography and production values...sheesh.
this whole mess is a travesty
Amazing anyone watched this garbage. I was 14 at the time and thought it absolutely awful.
@@brushcreek42 people were so enthusiastic about tv shows that they would watch about anything back then.
@@glennso47 You're right about that. My parents bought a 12" Stewart-Warner console TV in 1950 for $100, a half price bargain as my Dad worked at S-W in Chicago. We thought it was absolutely wonderful no matter what was on.
I think R&R and R&B did Your Hit Parade in. It only worked with Tin Pan Alley songs.
@@brushcreek42 Well, LA DEE DA! They played and sang what was on the radio at the time. So sorry you didn't care for it. Hellava lot better than what they play now! Do you not agree? HMMM? What would you have preferred?
I know! Elvis the pelvis.
There was more than one radio station, you know.
I grew up watching Lawrence Welk. Never missed it, and loved it.
They came to our town.
Went! Wrote to the Lennon Sisters. Got a picture post card telling me I could write to the ones whose autographs I wished to have, telling me how. The one(s) I wanted were their's. It was written in cursive, ball point pen.😊
You are a travesty.😊
