Day at Night: Tennessee Ernie Ford, singer

CUNY TV is proud to re-broadcast newly digitized episodes of DAY AT NIGHT, the popular public television series hosted by the late James Day. Day was a true pioneer of public television: co-founder of KQED in San Francisco, president of WNET upon the merger of National Educational Television (NET) and television station WNDT/Channel 13, and most recently, Chairman of the CUNY TV Advisory Board. The series features fascinating interviews with notable cultural and political figures conducted in the mid 1970's. (Taped:05/06/74)

They broke the mold after Mr. Ford. He had a voice that will never be matched.

This is what a television interview should look and sound like

[@ScottDMoore]

Quality. He obviously knows where his own morality comes from. Very rare in this age, or to come.

Bless God for this beautiful gift. Still giving, still beautiful, still a blessing.

The days where we see great men like this man speaking and living his faith have falling to a all time low will we ever see people standing for truth living with integrity doing for others more then we would do for our self God help this generation to see our need of thee

[@TheBlueyedblond]

You will find men like this in the military and in the Heartland of America. The 'bitter clingers' as Obama once called them.

This video is truly amazing, it feels as if you're sitting right there with him and just - talking, having a nice conversation.

Hi oooh

[@gilmarmartins5708]

Alguém pode me mandar esse video com legenda em português pra mim?

[@GarrettCroslin]

I heard someone say he had a fantastic singing voice and horrible speaking voice, but I really don’t agree.

[@antonkrog843]

Why does it feel to me the interviewer was very passive aggressive towards him, very subtle

Let's get back to the basics of life...
