Alpo Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I found two things amazing in that video. First, how many people were chewing gum. Wow. Second, nobody was singing along. Heck I was singing along while I was watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I’m not sure he was singing along, didn’t have a Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South-Eye Ned Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I’m 62. I remember him for having gotten “into an auto accident” to the point where he needed a plate in his head. He was actually beaten up by a policeman. After a few surgeries, he showed up to perform on the Glen Campbell Show (which was a summer replacement for the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour) around 1968 or so. Anyway, he didn’t perform much after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 97.839% of the singers on TV back then were lip syncing. Notice no band or they were faking the playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered about that, too. Then I read the description on YouTube and that was from the Beechnut Hour *(something like that) television show. Since it was sponsored by a chewing gum company it makes sense that the audience would be chewing gum. *Saturday Night Beechnut Show, May 1958.
