Great to see the whole of this episode. Louis and Jimmy Durante are fantastic together. I loved Jimmy's novelty piano number from 12' 30", some great stride playing!

I went to Louis Armstrong house Tuesday his house now is a museum I felt his present there I am still smiling

[@hollywoodpalace3308]

Glad you're enjoying the shows! I was planning on doing just what you suggested, posting all the episodes I've got, regardless of whether they're already uploaded by someone else. I was surprised to see so few episodes posted in complete form. I've got around 70 shows all together.

[@markgaston4416]

EVERYTHING you post from this show is HIGHLY appreciated!! So many moments of historic actors contributing unique talents, the likes which we will NEVER see again. Thank you for these shows!!!

[@echoecho3108]

Yes! Yes! Yessssss!!! Thank you so very much for sharing these lovely treasures! I haven't seen them since first-run. Please please keep 'em coming.

[@j.b.vanmourik2624]

WHO DOESNT LOVE LOUIS?

[@jazzwatch64]

I thought it was GREAT to reconize Armstrong on this episode ;).....

[@vpertoso]

I am old enough to remember seeing this on TV in 1965. Mr. Armstrong you are missed as is Jimmy Durante.

[@TomElvisSmith]

You don't know how glad I am to hear that! I'm 35, but a music historian, and I love the old variety shows. Hollywood Palace is such a classy and wonderful show, filled with incredible legendary guests!

[@markgaston4416]

Amen. Totally concur. Well said!!

[@TomElvisSmith]

Thank you! If possible, please also, along with the ones that aren't posted, upload all the episodes that are on other channels already becase a) the quality of your uploads is better, it is excellent! and b) it's nice to have all the available shows in one place, in order! I appreciate it!

[@edwardanthony7283]

Louis was an entertainment gem.

[@cynthialyman2636]

Top performers at the top of their game. What a treasure these are: these shows were pure gold, and class all the way. Thank goodness someone like you cares enough to preserve these wonderful memories.

[@Lampshade51]

Holy smoke! Look at all this talent on one show! Almost unbelievable!

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

Legends of that era, big names, in one big show, wow!!!!! And satchmo celebrating his 50th year in show business at the time too!!! Surprised it wasn't a bigger celebration since he was a legend!!!!!

[@sabrinabrown107]

Another great upload! I have always been a fan of dance troupe from other countries, this is one of things on my future To Do List, see as many as possible when I get the funds to do it!!! As a child, my voice or speaking voice was raspy, at a low register and kind of reminded people of Froggy from the Little Rascals. So I was made fun of a lot for sounding like a little boy, what changed the mocking was my ability to impersonate Louis Amstrong, all have to do was sing "Hello Dolly" and the kids would say, "How did you do that"!? So the mocking stop and amazement began and no I can't impersonate Satchmo now, so don't ask!!! Lol! Appreciate the tribute to LA!

[@gregoryedwards3356]

golden age of TV, much better than that crap that's on today, honestly I haven't washed TV in a long time I guess I'm just an old man now 52yrs..

[@TonyGPizza]

Thank you for sharing these classics; they are an overlooked part of TV history. Please keep finding and posting these shows; I am sure more exist, the show ran six years.

[@hollywoodpalace3308]

There are definitely more available, but they're hard to find. The people who sell them generally don't give any indication of what shows are included, and even if they do, sell in sets that mostly duplicate what I already have. I can't spend $50 for a new set of discs to get maybe one or two additional shows, sadly. Glad you're enjoying the videos, though!

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

+Hollywood Palace This was one of my favorite shows and the first big variety show that I remember watching as a very young child of about 3 years old in 67'!!!

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

+Hollywood Palace Thanks for those memories!!!!!!!!!!

[@fromthesidelines]

[@edwardanthony7283]

Jimmy Durante was close to 75 in this show.

[@echoecho3108]

Wow! Thanx so much for sharing this little gem. My two favorite men! I've been in love with Jimmy Durante, and with Louie Armstrong, since I was little and used to sneak out of bed to go watch them. Two beautiful, wonderful men who can always make me smile. I was in high school when this Hollywood Palace was first-run. Still smiling! RIP, darling gentle men, and thanx so very very much for the magic, music, and memories. (edit bc my stupidphone cannot spell properly 🙄 )

[@kevins.butler3402]

I hope that you're listening to Jimmy Durante playing your tune"Alley Cat"..in Heaven..Bent?

[@nandofigueira2005]

I love satchmo

[@lindaeasley5606]

Interesting to see not only the show , but the commercials In 1965 I was 4 years old so I don't recognize any of the commercials

[@falanajerido6939]

Well whatever works

[@thomasmulligan5304]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are the Ballet Folklorico of Mexico flamenco dancing to mariachi music or not? BTW, any more Hollywood Palace episodes?

[@jazzwatch64]

It was GREAT to honor this RARE genius after his Hello Dolly song:), plus that HOTTIE Diane Carroll, Edward G, Rowan & Martin, Jimmy Durante WAS funny ;)...... He would make a GREAT host in his own show...but he was STILL busy in THIS stage in his legendary career ;).......

[@rockytheyorky]

Hollywood Palace Im only 42 so I dont remember when this was first on but what a wonderful show this is.When you think back shows like this,Lawrence Welk, and The King Family were classics that no one ever thought they would be.These are pure entertainment with no political messages ,how great to see stuff like this.Could you tell me where you got these from is it possible to put these on dvd?

[@falanajerido6939]

Yes it is beautiful

[@falanajerido6939]

The best

[@sabinebeyer9249]

That Show was really a graet one! I'm a bit amazed, that this concert tour in East Germany was such a point in your country. Here in the "late" East Germany it was really a great thing, especially for all Jazz enthusiasts. My father couldn't get tickets for the concert, but Louis played in my hometown!!! I was only three years old then. Two years ago at the 50th anniversary our lokal TV broadcast the legandary concert from Berlin in real good quality, such a treat for my DVD- shelf The "old Man Time" number with Jimmy Durante is fun!

[@zacheryalderton9502]

I love him

[@jazzwatch64]

Loving this ;)......

[@Popcorn_Kernel]

I'm only here for Jimmy and Louis

[@falanajerido6939]

Beautiful

[@edwardanthony7283]

The music Louis played tonight dated back to the 20's or 30's..

[@a1diemus]

Thanks for uploading 👏👏👏👏! Add Sinatra dean Crosby with satchmo - I'm mesmerized ☁️

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

[@hollywoodpalace3308]

+JazzKeyboardist1 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@falanajerido6939]

I am enjoying This first time seeing thank you

[@hollywoodpalace3308]

You're very welcome.

[@walrus7227]

What did jimmy say in 4:19 ?

[@echoecho3108]

Betlitz wants to rent your lips.

[@edwardanthony7283]

Louis was adopted by a Jewish family who raised him & got him into music. Bet no one knew that..

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Like me. I didn't know that; never heard that before. Thanks for the info!!

[@edwardanthony7283]

It's true and made a huge difference in the outcome of his life.

[@thomasmulligan5304]

You lie! Louis Armstrong is NOT Jewish! He is African-American, 100%, crystal clear, so there!

[@MARKMANIATT]

Thomas Mulligan no one said he was.A Jewish family took him in as a child and helped and encouraged him.He always had a great love for Jewish people after that.

[@falanajerido6939]

I wish they could of take the commercial away

[@hollywoodpalace3308]

I get many, many comments on the videos from people who really enjoy seeing the old commercials. I've left them in intentionally.

[@falanajerido6939]

OK understand well I guess to each it own however still beautiful

[@hollywoodpalace3308]

Falana Jerido Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@HDDynamicFilms]

+Hollywood Palace YES, the commercials also take us back!

[@echoecho3108]

@@hollywoodpalace3308 Thank you so very much for including the original commercials. They complete the nostalgia trip.
