[@Charles1053]

The JOhnny Mathis medley is sensational...Johnny at his best. 1967. Wonder who is voice coach was to reach such notes and his unreachable star. GREAT.. Thank you Johnny you were the best. Miss you. Charles 2017

[@michaeldanello3966]

He will be 85 on September 30, 2020. I remember when he became famous around 1957 -- hard to believe so much time has passed

Back when television equalled actual entertainment. What a pity it's long gone, but thank you sincerely for the memories.☺

The Flemenco Married dance couple was really good! Johnny Mathis singing songs from The Man of La Mancha was a play I saw when I was child, we did a whole theatrical performance and assembly at school in the early 1970's to celebrate Afro American week - back then we only had a week not a month like today in tribute to Martin Luther King. Love Petula Clark and enjoyed her singing her song "My Song". I have better story when it comes to Ernie Terrell, his wife Maxine was my supervisor back in the early 1990's at the Mercantile Exchange here in Chicago. She used to sing all the time at the job and she met him at church, they both sang in the choir or something like that!!!! Enjoyed the violin playing at the end!

You could see in Jack Benny`s Face how much he enjoyed to play the Violin

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

+69nisi Bravisimo !!! A tour de force

Man, these are incredible. I've been watching them on and off since you started uploading them, kinda savoring them. I love Jack Benny, as this channel's owner knows, as well as frequent "Hollywood Palace" host Bing Crosby. I started to say that I wish you had the entire series to upload, but I'm just so content to watch the episodes you do have. Thank you for sharing them!

[@DavidBensonActor]

Amazing violin playing in the final segment! He could really play - AND get laughs

[@user-db6pt7vr3l]

I was hanging out with my hippie friends when this show was on. I don't remember it. Squaresville, man.

EXCELLENT ⭐FABOULOUS🌟 Tv 📺 at its best🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@darrenplumpton9737]

PETULA CLARK sings the ULTIMATE version of Winchester Cathedral. Other people have recorded their versions but NOT ONE comes anywhere close to Petula's. She smashers her version right out of the stadium. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the "GROOVEY"little dance she does in the instrumental section "Yeah!!!!"

[@lewiscarey6984]

AGREED!!!! I grew up with this song, and I'm in my 60's!!! 🤪🤪👍

[@asstroeongdong-min1709]

Jesus those acrobats..! Johnny Mathis does a live duet with Petula Clark about 15 years later with the song 'We're All Alone' It's on KZbin. French language sounds so pretty.

[@jackkircher1755]

The black gut and shirt guy on "thr nitwits were hilarious!

[@michaelpatrickfox]

The woman singing with Ernie Terrell is his sister Jean Terrell, who became the lead singer of the Supremes after Diana Ross left in 1970.

[@missyhumwood6669]

Was Tammi Terrell their sibling?

[@michaelpatrickfox]

@@missyhumwood6669 Tammi Terrell's real name was Thomasina Winifred Montgomery. She performed and recorded as Tammy Montgomery until Berry Gordy renamed her in 1965.

[@missyhumwood6669]

@@michaelpatrickfox thank's!

[@essessessesq]

[@lewiscarey6984]

Jean Terrell 3 years later, becomes lead singer of The SUPREMES!!! Great upload!! 👍👍👍

[@robertbowman984]

Sir Charles Chaplin. What a talented comedian, writer, producer, director, songwriter. Petula Clark did a magnificent job with his song.

[@dianabeurman364]

I still use waxed paper to put candy on, such as divinity. It is also good to wrap it in, such as caramels.

[@cucarachavengadora]

your comment made me laugh, very funny! even if it was not your intention

[@kilithecat2546]

Really enjoyed Johnny Mathis. Thanks for posting.

[@gaildrake5940]

Love Johnny Mathis

[@mccypr]

I love this! Thanks!

[@thinganngo837]

i didn't expect Petula Clark - British singer actror - who in made in heaven movie in1952 got into the hollywood palace

[@essessessesq]

yes, she has had a LOOOOONG career....and still singing, the last i knew

[@shaunwakefield9793]

A huge star in America.

[@caseman7896]

I always enjoyed watching Hollywood Palace back in 67. Good clean humor, proper music with soul, class entertainers with a class audience. I feel that North American society was disciplined up to that time because people who were 30 and over at that time had to work very hard to achieve their affluence. Then with the new generation it was downhill. Protest songs from unwanted rock bands like The Guess Who(American Woman) and some years later bathroom humor with Saturday Night Live. As time went on it was Freedom 55 instead of ambition. Then came downsizing, factory closings, and anything manufactured is now termed world class instead of Made In The U.S.A. On top of everything else there is this concept called political correctness which I term a form of oppression--a concept created by these high end candy bottom universities whose minds are so overly pompous.

[@CoCotheTurtle]

Kiind of you to omit the bathroom humor introduced by Archie Bunker in 1971 - to thunderous laughter!

[@jerryspang6277]

Did anyone notice that the opening acrobatic team did the 4 man segment the cameras showed the audience and not the boy jumps up to the 3rd man ? Jack said in the intro that they were the only act that can achieve that... I think they had to do a retake....any thoughts

[@robertc7896]

I noticed that. I think he missed the jump and they spliced in a shot of the audience to cover it up.

[@katherinem.4414]

Makes me want to buy Zest again!! Does it still exist?

[@alvarogodoy7616]

mucho mas entretenido y professional,yb los recursos y tecnologias eran menores,se agradece el compartir este tipo de hallazgos

[@lmb3678]

This was back when stars were Stars. They were talented and they had class. These clowns now are just over-paid cry babies.

[@musicom67]

58:15 - WTF. This might be the only time to actually SEE Mitch Ayres conduct the theme live (it's usually a recording) - and what happens? THEY GO TO A F-D UP RECORDING! Sad.

[@manofmanyinterests]

It's because this is the rebroadcast version with music overlay to cover Dick Tufeld's vo promo. Sometimes the only source that us known to exist for these classics are the rerun copies.

[@SuperBeachbum74]

Jean Terrell with her brother Ernie . She would go on to replace Diana Ross on the Supremes and later retire to devote her life to her faith as a Jehovah’s Witness !

[@katherinem.4414]

Too bad the sound and video quality is not the same as before, or made like it is now.

[@essessessesq]

true, but its better than nothing

[@dementedweasel1]

Mmmm Petula Clark! She could cuddle me into her arms anytime. As Jack Benny would say .."Yummy!"

[@BlakeGildaphish76]

Mr. Brascia was hot!
