The !!!! Beat (TV Program) Vol 5 # Show 19 (1966)

[@urwayhome4050]

This show is a treasure trove!

[@v.a.993]

Agreed!

[@alexforest1]

Without a doubt this is gem…and placed in the musical archives.

[@michaelobrien8219]

I Had A Talk - what a beautiful song performed with pure soul - wow!!

[@marcyfan-tz4wj]

good lord there are some amazing performances in each of these shows!!!!

[@debtpeon]

I have to hand it to Hoss Allen for providing a great venue for these acts and having this for posterity.

[@sgmares]

I Had A Talk With My Man...ooh I love that jam! This show was another exceptional show! I can't believe I'm just catching it in March of 2020! Better late than never!

[@chriskroll4166]

I can't believe that wicked tone that Freddie King is getting out of his guitar. Makes me want to cry. And Mr Brown is playing that guitar like nobody's business. Two of the finest guitar players that ever lived without a doubt. And everybody else on the show is top notch also. Man they do not make music like this anymore. 🙋

[@stevenstainbrook1064]

You said it man. Freddie really brings something out of that guitar. It really gets into your soul. He's my favourite King.

[@joscofe]

MITTY COLLIER... so so good

[@allanfranklin9615]

While us white kids were watching the Monkees,I could have been watching this. Non stop music, dancing, entertaining, no BS emcee. Glad I found these shows.

[@jody8526937]

You can watch both.

[@kgarrett1404]

The !!!! Beat was the greatest music TV shoes ever! You can take that to the bank baby!

[@manasbose8817]

I was 12 when this show was recorded. I wish there was a TV music programme like this in Englland at the time. These videos are a great archive of the fabulous black music that inspired so many of the British musicians

[@flashcat945]

Lou Rawls - How Long, How Long Blues = NICE!!! Not only is his voice fantastic, the way he sustains a note is perfect!

[@flomurdock]

That's kinda funny, because my reaction was the opposite. Why is someone like Lou Rawls taking up time here when I want to hear Mitty Collier, Joe Simon and the others?

[@andrewpippa5590]

With two of the hardest working go-go dancers from the 60s 😆

[@talesfromtinpanalley-thedo6198]

Nothing short of Phenomenal

[@ren-shen]

I can't stop smiling when I watch this wonderful entertainment.

[@ClarenceHW]

Rachel, thank you for posting this fantastic historical example of real live music. These folks have it right...damn!!!

[@НиколайМарковски-у9ы]

THIS IS THE MY TIME! LOVE YOU! ❤️🌹✨👑

[@tonyrussi7777]

Lord have mercy so glad I grew up in the 60's with the GREATEST musical talents.

[@jeffjnewmantube]

Thank you Rachel!

[@kennyguitarallen5662]

Freddie king excellent guitarist

[@mikevallen999]

Mitty Collier begins at the 10:40 minute mark.....very special performance ❤❤🙏🙏✨️✨️♥️♥️.

[@tonyfreeman1339]

It just keeps on getting better and better.

[@TheShabazzProduction]

Great music from our beautiful looking brown skin soulful people.

[@billkarmetsky4003]

True story. A guitar player friend of mine used to go to all these clubs and jams in and around Nashville and Knoxville and one day Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown comes in and, according to my friend, the first words out of mouth was, "Alright, now. Who's gots the reefers?"

[@billkarmetsky4003]

Wow! Rawls was looking mighty svelte in those days! I was in a very highly arrange Blood, Sweat and Tears style horn band when there were such things and on on Miami Beach when big hotels had the biggest acts of the day rolling through. We either backed some or sat in the wings and absorbed. Rawls came through and he was not quite as svelte as he was in this show but I'm talking 1972-3 and he was huge. The best act as I recall was O.C. Smith. Holy mackerel! What an utterly polished dressed to the nines 100% GREAT male soul singers! I mean, we were witness to greatness. He was straight where Rawls and others like Dick Jensen who had an awesome soul act were all stoned on reefer and booze but not enough to interfere with their performances. These guys brought it 100% of the time. That was what was required of working musicians -- we had to bring it or would be replaced by someone who could. That work was an absolute grind and I smoked enough dope to fill up a dozen Willie Nelson buses. Haha!

[@outtathyme5679]

Lou was pure class

[@daddysqueeze]

You got it, Gate!

[@Natethagr88]

Freddie

[@waltbruenner1410]

Lou Rawls such an amazing singer

[@berndpape407]

Die Tanzmädchen sind wunderbar, könnte stundenlang zuschauen . . .

[@alexforest1]

This was such another groove.

[@ajsmith5295]

New rules how long was a voice man and also what a suit my favourite colour I love that suit

[@standaman1963]

Freddie King did his thang on James Brown's "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag".

[@НиколайМарковски-у9ы]

❤️❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑👑🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@johnbarron2269]

It was nice how Lou Rawls held that note from 8:01 to 8:18.- Beautiful Lou. It sounded better because it was "semi-falsetto."

[@ivanwashington3186]

a significant fraction of the time it appeared they were playing along to a backing track, and in one case a phonograph record complete with surface noise! those things aside, this is a cool and COLOR VIDEOTAPED [NOT a kine!] document of an era.

[@EricCirca6566]

23:31 Sen-Sa-Shun

[@rondmc44]

Looks like Freddie King has his version of B.B. King's Lucille!

[@captainamerica9353]

But with no amp to go with it!

[@richardtharris]

Billy Cox (Jimi Hendrix), on bass.

[@GarwinWayne]

@16:27 If they ever do a biopic on Joe Simon the actor Aldis Hodge will be perfect

[@橋本栄一-l8c]

５４年前の映像だよ・・いいですね～、アメリカが一番いい時だよ。

[@sulevisydanmaa9981]

FREDDIE IS B R U T A L . . .

[@ClarenceHW]

Yes he is, never seen him give less than 100%.

[@MIKECNW]

Anyone know why this show was short lived?

[@thamnosma]

Doesn't really answer the question but lots of info here. www.dallasobserver.com/news/for-26-episodes-in-1966-wfaa-played-host-to-the-funkiest-most-soulful-tv-show-in-america-7145517

[@ronwilliams717]

Because it was black and it was 1966.

[@thamnosma]

Uh, yeah I guess Soul Train didn't make it either

[@ronwilliams717]

Different time. Dr King had been Killed by then and then and they were a little more caring about black america by the early 70's. That was your difference. People hadn't seen to many blacks on TV in 1966 but by 1970 the whole game had changed, black faces were becoming the face of Americas fabric and more blacks TV shows would be seen in the coming years. Nobody wanted to sponsor black TV shows at that time also. If you don't have sponsors you have no TV show!

[@thamnosma]

Maybe the difference was production value and orientation toward youth, not jazz and blues. This show was essentially "local" and that's exactly how Soul Train started... " The origins of Soul Train can be traced to 1965 when WCIU-TV, an upstart UHF station in Chicago, began airing two youth-oriented dance programs: Kiddie-a-Go-Go and Red Hot and Blues. These programs-specifically the latter, which featured a predominantly African-American group of in-studio dancers-would set the stage for what was to come to the station several years later. Don Cornelius, a news reader and backup disc jockey at Chicago radio station WVON, was hired by WCIU in 1967 as a news and sports reporter. Cornelius also was promoting and emceeing a touring series of concerts featuring local talent (sometimes called "record hops") at Chicago-area high schools, calling his traveling caravan of shows "The Soul Train". WCIU-TV took notice of Cornelius's outside work and in 1970, allowed him the opportunity to bring his road show to television."

24:32 this lick

[@captainamerica9353]

Odd they had mics on stage for the drums/horns, etc., yet no amps for the guitars! Would have looked a bit more "real" !

[@charleshuss1050]

Amps are hidden from camera view, like it usually was the case on the Ed Sullivan show, for instance

[@captainamerica9353]

@@charleshuss1050 Why would they do that, and where exactly are they? On some of these shows bands were live, some had real vocals over a soundtrack, and some were totally lip-synced.

[@ignorecorporatenews]

This is GREAT. Rap sucks.
