[@Robert-qm5so]

Classy lady was magnificent back on the day ( not too many left handed guitar players that play that good and what's incredible that she was a black female ... Wow! What a special lady 👌)

[@ezerlenewatkins9644]

[@amaradominique]

She is killing it ! I wanted get up and dance

[@danielbautista4757]

First time I heard of this program , very impressed with the quality of the talent.

[@Lakeda-bu1mi]

Barbara Lynn like Rosetta Tharpe were some of the greatest female guitar players.

[@jamesdana1273]

Looks like Barbara Lynn is playing a Fender Esquire from the 50's, a guitar collectors and players alike would die to get their hands on.

[@paulgentile1024]

It's incredible how much better TV variety shows what back in the day !!.. no nonsense with politics or anything.. just straight ahead music

[@Shahmar]

How do you go from this to rapping about your @ss every song and bragging about aborting your children?🙃🙃😈😈

Extremely beautiful ! so many giants of music the world have never heard about. Also the female guitar player is truly a beautiful gift from God Almighty to music

[@draftdaydice3656]

If they were giants, they would not be as obscure as they are. Good sounding live music.

[@dmoney668]

Every one of these acts are phenomenal!

[@patrickmiller1834]

Real talent. Before auto tune and over produced productions.

[@robertsimmons1sgretired820]

Dang, for a minute there I thought that was Jamie Fox. I really enjoyed this. Barbara Lynn was gorgeous with a beautiful voice. Thank U

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

Me too I thought it was Jamie Foxx with a conk.

[@murraypettinger7039]

Love Barbara Lynn and her Telecaster. Still got the ashtray Bridge cover

[@sethtravins3647]

It’s an Esquire! Only the bridge pickup.

[@jesusneverexisted300]

Damn this was the year I was born! I never even heard of this program before. Wow, I never knew Barbara Lynn played an instrument! I known her to be a great singer and I love her songs but damn she was playing that guitar!

[@wifeoftim]

[@kevintaylor5079]

Cool to see the thumb pick wear on Barbara Lynn’s Tele!

[@kingdoc3262]

8:58 min Wow! Sounds like a young James ! Imbsure Mr. Brown must've metband congratulated him

[@pips98]

Bill "Hoss "Allen Nashville WLAC. Along with John R. I remember the Beat in the late 60s.

[@ArthurHolloway-f1l]

I thought it came out of Houston. I used to listen to John R back in the day on WLAC

[@pips98]

Nashville, Tennessee WLAC Had 50,000. Of watt power that broadcast 8pm to 1am. 6 nights a week and on Sunday night gospel 8pm to 1am. Gene Allen host gospel. ​@ArthurHolloway-f1l

[@billtomson5791]

Interesting artifact. It's important to preserve stuff like this.

[@anto096]

Love this❤❤❤❤

[@vernemil]

Oh yes, the great Barbara Lynn !

[@ericbush6124]

Im 67 dont remember sny of these Talented artists I remembered the Trmpts Four Tops Supremes even the Platters Tymes Rolling stones

[@nysaxman]

Barbara Lynn was playing a guitar made for a left-hander. Jimi Hendrix turned a right handed guitar upside down and re-strung it.

[@marks6406]

Wow ....... Thank you HOSS from 2024 ......

[@cedric7122]

A lot of talent on the show

[@JohnnyAce415]

This is so cool!! Thank you so much for sharing this rare show, mentioning above, ran only 26 episodes!!!! !! Clarence Gatemouth Brown, leader of the house band!!! Too Cool. I love how he made the fiddle sound like a locomotive on the 22:22 mark, heh heh.😎 Legendary acts after another!! Thanks again.✨ ✔️Subscribed.

[@thouston0]

Wow!!

[@corkpop8401]

Kelly bros are righteous

[@ArthurHolloway-f1l]

[@Baci302]

Great show! Incredible music. Thanks so much posting.

[@jimrushing5365]

Unbelievable ❤

[@SamuelTorres-zm3un]

All these songs you can make into a gospel song.😂😂❤

[@zukistone1528]

Our music came from Gospel. The God Father of Gospel Music Mr. Thomas Dorsey, if you listen to his music, you'll hear the foundation of our music. The Root, the Trunk, and the Branches.

[@kathleenking47]

Most of this sound, came from the churches It was only later, it went rogue 🤘

[@Baci302]

Look at Barbara Lynn go! Watusi baby!

[@kingdoc3262]

He was 6. Ibwas 5 Love the varied of Black people music and culture represented here. Big mistake TV and producers made putting all in one box, kne type of music at a time.

[@Johnnycdrums]

Gatemouth Brown looks so young I hardly recognize him. Lol, but on the other hand I didn't get hip to him until the mid-Eighties.

[@benjaminwillis8095]

Remember Kelly bro. Process hair style. look like ws chgo 1962😊

[@ragasthegascap1]

Barbara Lynn and Gatemouth Brown grew up about 20 miles from each other in the Golden Triangle of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange, Texas.

[@Michelle-mq5cw]

LIVE FOREVER MOG ✊🏽

[@jamesdana1273]

I think i saw that kid a few years later on Johnny Carson. At that time, he talked about James Brown but was really impressed by Jackie Wilson, whom he had the opportunity to do a few shows with.

[@tonytuffers]

Yeah whatever happened to him, what did he grow up to be?

[@matrox]

Gary Ferguson was born in 1958 which would make him 8 in 66'. Gary Ferguson 1958-2020.

[@kathleenking47]

Same age as Michael Jackson

[@Blkboyjoy96]

That little boy singing James Brown reminds me of a young Michael Jackson

[@kennyblye3515]

i was 15 when this show aired unfortunately new york city didnt think it was appropriate

[@llkaygifts]

So that is why I don’t remember The Beat

[@dmoney668]

I see moves Michael Jackson and Prince both used she's amazing!

[@SUPREMEFUNKNO.1]

Real authentic music. 🎉❤💯!!!

[@duchess56me-tf7fx]

Gary Ferguson...been singing a year....👍

[@jacobsimon]

I Feel Good.

[@amaradominique]

Look at the dancer in back they killing

[@bennyadler5882]

Kelly brothers singing mixture of blues done church style, straight up Chicago. Excellent. Johnny Taylor would’ve killed i!

[@llkaygifts]

The go-go dancers go

[@SamuelTorres-zm3un]

She must be Jimmy Hendrix's sister 😂 both playing the guitar left-handed, and she looks like him. Awesome stuff.

[@ronnieforey2068]

These were the hippie a. Underground jammn....not much waves then. Only c. Gold

[@funkythangzprod3446]

I miss music like this being made from real instruments by real musicians not using a computer SMH

[@Chuck-es8ix]

Randy's record shop

[@rapidrhinoplumbing-monrovi3269]

I wonder if Gate still has that old Rickenbacker . I saw it up close once. Looks like it went thru the "war zone". Gate sure could play the Hell out of it though.

[@gilldavidmour4199]

No. Gate left it and everything else behind.

[@recordguy4321]

"Fathead Newman" was touring in 66 with Ray Charles

[@bobbi67]

[@kingdoc3262]

6:00 min Great group from Chicago. Does anyone know if kead singer is blind?

[@stuartdinkes8048]

Billy cox from jimi hendrix playing g bass!!!

[@Johnnycdrums]

How cool is M.O.C., Hoss? Lol. If I'm not mistaken, Hoss has a Southern accent. I was thinking New Orleans, but then read he was a D.J. from somewhere else. Texas, close to the Louisiana side? Or is it more like Kentucky? Anybody? Hoss lost me before he said at 12:22, "Lost my way, found myself in an opera house, and my blue moon turned to gold."

[@johni1726]

We missed this because southern networks didn't want the "coloreds" feeling too good about themselves.

[@benjaminwillis8095]

Barbra lynn only 1 I remember

[@trinivenezuala5134]

The host voice 100 crazy shout to gen z

[@Manormouse-04]

It's odd, I wasn't familiar with the show, but I think I have seen the kid covering the james brown song.

[@msaintpc]

Before Paul Schaffer came along the Gatemouth Brown band was the most hired one for TV shows.

[@vswayz490]

😢😢😢

[@HopeIanHope]

Other than the freak child we good show.

[@MegaBay101]

What freak child?

[@KrdJz]

Did not know Barbara Lynn played the guitar...and left-handed!

[@stuartdinkes8048]

And if you look close to the left of the band stage you will see billy cox playing bass from jimi hendrix band of gypsys!!!!

[@reneakan]

malcolm x was shot the previous year.

[@ronnieforey2068]

Share this with ,,,,nahhh never mind....just keep diggn

[@MrStanleyMilton]
