Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Terrific singer. All those kids in the video are now grandparents.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 RIP Jimmie Rodgers. Honeycomb was one of my first favorite songs as a kid!!
Alpo Posted January 24, 2021 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.
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 I’m not sure he was singing along, didn’t have a Mike.
South-Eye Ned Posted January 24, 2021 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.
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted January 24, 2021 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.

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.
