Watching this on the day Sam of Sam and Dave died 😢

The great Willie Mitchell before Hi Records and his work for Al Green.

Duke of Earl is my ringtone

I believe a young Hendrix played with Barabara Lynn .......... you can clearly see he took some of her playing style

This is a gift!

Love these shows ! Unbelievable talent

Thanks for sharing Rachel ....Brilliant Education

Freddie! GOAT.

This was excellent all the way around. Everyone was in grand form. Everyone! I think little Gary stole the show! And to top it all off with Gospel, wow! This is American freedom.

Great video and audio production! Nashville?

What a band! Plus no charts! Memorized the show for all of the singers! Was this a touring show? Or a one night gathering?

Why have I never heard of this show? In the 60's I watched Shindig, Hullabaloo, and Where the Action is.

Finger-picking a left-handed tele, and a sweet Rickenbacker. Gary was dynamite. And to think Michael Jackson was the same age, also doing homage to James Brown at the same time.

Barbara Lynn arrived a year before Jimi Hendrix (2 left handed guitarists) 🎸🎸

So awesome seeing musicians on a show where they're actually playing and we can hear them playing - as opposed to the band playing to a pre-recorded track.

FENDER Esquir

The Jewish immigrants, who created the entertainment industry from Broadway to Hollywood, recognized and respected the talent, and value, of non-white performers and artists. More important they had fled intense discrimination in Europe and felt the neglect and oppression of blacks in America. They were the first to put minorities on records and in movies etc.

Freddie King destroys

Omg.. so bloody cool

THIS MUSIC IS GOOD VERY NICE AND SMOOTH. IT FEEL LIKE THE A BIT OF ROCK AND ROLL BLESS, JAZZ MIXED WITH A LITTLE BLUES, OCURSE JAZZ ITSELF GREAT MUSIC.

😢😢😢rip mr "beware brother beware 😢Louis Jordan 😢

I love that Precision Bass with the added white bars on the fretboard.

GREAT good Glory

I remember Al Benson emceeing the shows at the (original) Regal Theater. He was the best, changing suits between acts. I have fond memories of growing up on WBEE and WVON radio stations in their prime ('50s-'60s).

We had nothing like this in the UK in the sixties, loving this and all the other episodes on here🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wowser. This is remarkable! Beautiful production and great music. These are some seasoned, polished, and clean players in the extreme.

... I'm in shock. Just like many more of my Soul Crew out there, I feel cheated... in that another slice of Black history was almost lost for good. Barbara Lynn? All Black band backing her up? Black singers and dancers? Mighty Joe Young AND Gatemouth Brown? All in all, a true and REAL slice of the Black experience in this country.

She is a lefty.

That guitar!!!

... O.M.G. this is awesome Thank you.... !!

I just wanted to give kudos&a big shout out to Rachel Commings for posting these shows&videos that probably hadn't been seen for many,many years!

The Beat:TV Show from Dallas had 26 episodes In Colorwith host Hoss Allen using Clarence Gatemouth's as the house band.and used the local high school girls as the Go-Go dancers.They had a great variety of Famous Blues,R&B,Funk&Soul artists gracing their shows in 1966 which was unique &heard of at that time.

REAL. LIVE. MUSIC!
