Gene Gene could really bring down the house with his dancing and the audience would be cheering him on and dancing along with him, but Gene rocked on The Gong Show, and Chuck was funny as well
Been a fan since since those original days. The gong show was a wake n bake ritual. Sad irony he had diabetes in later life and both legs amputated at the knees. God bless you Gene Gene! You are remembered!! Btw the song is Jumpin on the Woodside” Everyone Dance!!!
there will only be one Gene Gene the Dancing Machine, and only one Chuck Barris. i would always do my best to watch the best, most entertaining and funniest show on tv . RIP Eugene and Chuck.
Great to see this tribute to a great soul. One correction: The Count Basie tune is not One O'Clock Jump. It is "Jumpin at the Woodside." The Gong Show Band was made up of some very hot players and they did the Basie tune Solid Justice every time.
Chuck Barris, JP Morgan and the rest of these maniacs gave us the impression that they were all fired up on cochise, little did we know that it was mostly true!

My narrator was given the gong for that mistake!
Gene was the greatest! Karl
So glad you could get C3P0's father to narrate this post.
That’s my grandfather
We loved Grandpa Gene!
@@CoxinatorProductions lmfao my cousins called him that all the time I just referred to him as grandpa cause I only had the one growing up
This man brought immeasurable joy to millions of people...and still is!
@@michaelscott7462 one of the greatest men I’ve ever know for sure and one of my biggest inspirations
I loved that show
I realize that this video isn’t for everyone, but then you realize that it actually is for everyone and you’re just being a grump. #bhm
"Okay. We have an act who isn't here, we need a sixty-second filler, any ideas?" "Gimme my jacket." And thus, a legend was born.
😂😂😂👍
Not one o'clock jump. the song is "Jumping at the Woodside"
Correct! Never trust a Brit.
Thanks for pointing that out. 👏
Came here to say that as well. I'm arranging it for my band!
Gene was classic
Good old days
Chuck Barris, JP Morgan and the rest of these maniacs gave us the impression that they were all fired up on cochise, little did we know that it was mostly true!
It was a party for sure!
What is the name of the tune being played?
Jumpin at the Woodside, Count Basie
@@cheeseheadfiddle Thanks
What was that robot's name?
The lesson is "lay off the sweets."
Great topic. Horrible bot narrator. Great topic though.
