This is so mind blowing. I’m amazed this show isn’t considered a total gem, thank god for the internet otherwise stuff like this would fade into obscurity. My heart goes out to Otis who enthusiastically hosted this final episode of the show after Hoss Allen couldn’t on the count of being so distraught from the show being cancelled (he drank himself into a stooper the night before). Thanks to him for even making this possible

[@RG-if4on]

you are so right. Never knew this existed until today 2023.

[@modernretroradio993]

Hoss clearly loved this music and believed in the show. I was unaware of the circumstances around the last episode.

[@tonytune4342]

An absolute treasure ! When I first discovered this gem , I was so blessed to be able to obtain the entire series on DVD . It busted my budget , but I never regretted my gift to me !

[@outtathyme5679]

This should be in the Smithsonian

[@fonzisalgado512]

Yes i agree totally

[@obedirect5491]

100!

Otis was a beast!!!

[@caracasboogie]

Way ahead of his time

[@johnbarron2269]

​@caracasboogie Caracasboogie, just think of how famous OTIS REDDING would have been, in about 1978, (ninteen seventy-eight) if he would have been living, and GOING STRONG.- Wow, too, too, unbelievable.

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

All legendary acts on this program hosted by the great Otis Redding. Wow, what a show!!!!

[@talesfromtinpanalley-thedo6198]

Sensational. What a line-up. The whole Stax-Volt package. Atlantic soul personified in it's absolute unadulterated, undiluted prime. What a fantastic remastering job here.

[@tomcarl8021]

It's not even close to being the whole STAX/Volt package. There are only two STAX artists here. Sam and Dave, and Otis.

[@d820m]

Mitty Collier was a Chess Records artist, Percy Sledge-Atlantic

[@ThePduncan742]

HOLY SHIT.. what a treasure of killer live music!!

[@rachelcummings2705]

Hello Johnnie, your most welcome :)

[@roybean7166]

@@rachelcummings2705 Percy Sledge toured South africa, about 1969, for the first time. This was at the height of the apartheid days. He played in a coloureds only theater in Cape town. Only coloured people allowed in the theater. He was a huge star in SA, amongst all races. White people smeared their faces with black shoe polish to get in. Strange story, but it's true. Two yrs later the government gave permission for him to play in a whites only theater. Another strange story, obviously only white people allowed in then. Roy b, Cape Town, South africa.

[@loriaeverett9603]

I remember this show! Otis Redding hosted that night because Hoss Allen was told his show was being canceled he got so intoxicated and passed out Otis had to host. Love me some Otis Redding he should've had his own show great host. R.I.P Otis and to all of the the singers that has passed on from this show.

[@tonytune4342]

Yes , the show was Hoss Allen's dream . He had a drinking problem and was a bit tipsy on several of the shows . The show was sold to individual TV stations and was refused by many stations for reasons known to anyone who knows history . Hoss did realize his dream , if only for a short while . Hoss , may you rest in eternal peace and thank you for the wonderful gift you left to us all.

[@mroberts4086]

Great show. Otis was a natural host♥️

[@mikewines7852]

That's so cool!!! Yaaa.........my Gramps was only part of an amazing 60's soul band, nothing that cool or anything.😉 This is true American music history and should be in the Smithsonian. You should be very proud.

[@robertvelez8485]

The last episode of "The Beat" and honestly the very best! A forerunner for Soul Train which came 6 years later!

[@alexforest1]

Well this was supercharged show. Thanks for sharing. Loved Otis Redding.

[@willieperdue5583]

I was around 13 then living in Lowndes County Al. Very Poor They Made us Feel good about our self

[@allenkracalik7662]

Sadly, this dynamite show was The !!!!Beat's last. According to his Wikipedia bio, Bill "Hoss" Allen was so distraught over the show's cancellation he got too drunk to host, so Otis Redding stepped in. This classic musical showcase matches the equally iconic Shindig! and these online streamings and DVD recordings thankfully preserve the truly fantastic popular music explosion of the '60s.

[@ianhope3203]

Garnet Mimms unbelievable voice

[@georgecramer5276]

i dont remember seeing this show back in the 60s and was a kid back then.And my parents always new when we as "colored people" back then were going to be on tv

[@donearl6675]

we use ti get the "Jet"magazine.and turn to the back of the page.thats where you would find out which shows on tv were hosting blacks

[@DonDeering]

I think it was a local or regional broadcast. I think it was the best music show ever, anywhere. Wish it would have taken off.

[@caracasboogie]

Texas

[@carlton4129]

Memphis..every Friday night at midnight..I believe ch 5...Otis and Sam and Dave from Stax records..basically all southern soul..ovations..Percy sledge..mitty collier.. garnett mimms..wow all of these names from when i was a little boy...does anyone play horns anymore..

[@JeremyHumboldt]

One of the best lineups ever on THE !!!! BEAT. But they're all good, with plenty of Freddie King episodes.

[@talktalk2]

This is the same band that accompanied Otis on the British READY, STEADY, GO! show in 1966. That performance and the James Brown T.A.M.I. Show performance from 1964 are the best ever!

[@dennishahn1536]

Real deal talent with no BS . Love it and thanks for sharing.

[@misterTimeFreaktony]

WoW! fantastic!

[@WickleinGroup]

The drummer with Percy Sledge at 5:28 is Jaimoe who would become the Allman Bros drummer

I got a video of Freddie King on this show years ago, and thought it would be great to see it. Thanks, Rachel, for giving me the chance. Great acts Esther Phillips, Little Milton and many more presented by Hoss who is clearly loving it all. After watching all 26, I can't get the intro out of my head

Ironically Otis says, "...three young ladies..." when Patti Labelle & the Bluebells were still four members. They would go on to their greatest success with three members.

[@Savadorason1]

The other acts here are good but Patti n The Bluebelles brought the heart to it!

How come Sam & Dave's performance of "Hold On, I'm Coming" wasn't on here, Rachel? Thanks for these entire episodes of a great show!

[@johnbarron2269]

Just look at the footsteps taken by Dave from, THE SECOND he walks out there at, 20:57, to, 21:04. It was BEAUTIFUL HOW EACH STEP WAS EXAAACTLY with the music beat. EVEN THE LAST FOUR TAPS with his right foot was EXACT, at 21:03, and, 21:04. That's the mark of a true professional, who knows about music. Dave is the one who comes out last, of the duet.

[@chippihc52]

Hi Rachel, might have been a long time since I said hello but I just mentioned your wonderful channel to someone yesterday. I doubt a day goes by The !!!! Beat doesn't cross my mind, nor a week that I don't watch something from it.

[@rachelcummings2705]

Hello honey, Thank you :) I don't seem to get much spare time to come on here or any other site due to work :( It's wonderful to know that these shows are appreciated by yourself and others, Hope everything is well, your friend Rachel.

[@recordguy4321]

The great Elbert Woodson on drums, one of Otis's best road drummers

[@rachelcummings2705]

recordguy4321 Yes correct :) One of the reasons I wanted to upload full shows so that many of the unfamiliar artists could be seen/heard also this includes The Beat Boys, members line up changed but Billy Cox was one of the bass players, when the show ended? went on to join Jimi Hendrix (Band Of Gypsies/Hendrix Experience) now well famous.

[@recordguy4321]

Yep Billy was in the band for probably half the shows, good one Rachel. I've had these shows on VHS third generation for years. Thanks for uploading. A REAL TREAT!! Of course Gatemouth Brown just shines on every episode.

[@rachelcummings2705]

recordguy4321 Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown was a Blues Music Legend !! He had already recorded for the Peacock Label through the 50's. By 1965 he was working with producer William 'Hoss' Allen, and recorded a single for Hit Sound Records, another for Hermitage and an Album for Chess Records, all featuring the band that would later appear on The !!!! Beat. Gatemouth went to Europe for the first time in 1971 and was an instant success. Since then has recorded for Alligator, Rounder, Gitanes and many other major and Indie labels. Sadly died back in 2005. Thanks so much for watching and the kind comments.

[@recordguy4321]

Have to add this! I've always wondered what the hell Mr. and Mrs. Sledge were thinking hen they named him Percy???!!! When a Man Loves a Woman hit the charts "stage names" were still common, and one print commentator remarked "Percy Sledge has to be his real name!"
