Tina Cole Sings "Downtown" - My Three Sons

[@gailchypyha3587]

Tina was a classic beauty that was also down to earth and had a warm, kind heart.

Wow, I miss those days when you could watch tv and actually feel good. Thanks for sharing this. Love Tina Cole and My Three Sons!

[@barbibutton9619]

debco12 i agree!!! TV was great back then. Everything in America was great back then. We were young & filled with hope and dreams.

[@doctordootch]

This was the episode where they were practicing for a talent show. Each one started getting sick with some sort if flu until it was only Steve playing saxophone with the dog.

[@halseyknox]

I remember the King Family....I sure had a crush on Tina Cole when I was kid in the 60's.....but who didn't 😁

[@pjgumby]

I MISS those days!!!!

[@Redwhiteblue-gr5em]

This is gold! I watched that show throughout the 1960s and 70s and totally missed Downtown.

[@Chi22718]

I still watch the re runs love this show they need more shows like this

[@joecool97]

Janet Mangan I agree with you 100% Percent!

[@dunning234]

Tina Cole so beautiful.

[@jamesfox2579]

Loved her performance. I remember seeing this episode. Tina was the perfect "Sister in Law" in my opinion.

[@65wiseman]

Tina Cole was an absolute delight!

[@DavesNotHere56]

Tina Cole was a member of the King Famy of singers.

[@loudastous1159]

Yes,she was a member of the King Cousins singing group,there are videos of them singing on KZbin

[@su-rv2uq]

She was probably singing before she was out of diapers.

[@moemcgovern7345]

They were very talented family.

[@franknew9001]

Tina Cole is still looking good at age 76.

[@Lava1964]

Somehow I don't remember this particular episode. Katie (Tina) had a nice voice! She was certainly easy on the eyes.

[@peterbloink8434]

+Lava1964 Ha ha, isn't that funny, I'm the exact opposite; for years I had it in the back of my mind that I had seen Katie singing Dowtown in an episode of My Three Sons but thought I must have been hallucinating, thinking she kind of looked a bit like Petula Clark anyway. I'm not going crazy after all!

[@barbibutton9619]

Peter Bloink that u remembered that is amazing.

[@lifeissweet9826]

I don't remember it either!

[@carmenferrara7707]

I still watch my three sons every morning just love Fred MacMurray

[@ronito1271]

I had this huge crush on her during the 70's.

[@mga2899]

Demerest is going to steal every scene.

[@robertmerison3279]

Such beauty is a rare flower !

[@earthstewardude]

This episode was directed by Fred de Cordova who later produced the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

[@dhindsjr]

I looked for this because of not only Tina’s beauty but I used to play saxophone like Fred! ❤️😊

[@allgood6760]

Beautiful lady!.. and a timeless song ny Petula Clark👍

[@carlahubbs3602]

I think she did this song very well!

[@TonyfromBham]

I love that show, especially the later episodes with Katie & Polly. ‘All good actors playing interesting characters. Musically, Tina Cole was way beyond all of them combined.

[@minx2528]

Tina Cole was a member of the famous Musical family the King Family, and the King Sister's..

[@user-cn5wv6mf4g]

Gosh how I loved that show! Brings such a feeling of warm fuzzy nostalgia

[@evangelosp77]

Tina had a great talent! She was one of my favorites singers.

[@edwardcricchio6106]

Most people forget, Robbie wasn't the oldest son. Mike was the oldest. He left the show and Ernie was adopted to continue with the 3 sons theme. Mike married Sally (Meredith McCrae) another beautiful blonde.

[@thechannel5471]

Part of “4 King Cousins” as well. They have a CD available if interested. Fourkingcousins dot com.

[@DA90027]

Tina was part of the King Family so she was singing before acting...I think I used to see her on Lawrence Welk singing.

[@Rusty3659]

Twaddles McGee Actually The King Family had their own variety show.

[@pookiebear364]

Twaddles McGee - indeed she Was on L. Welks show.

[@areasonableperson24]

Katie was on everything! She was just so sweet and cute. The girl next door

[@texasgina]

My grandma always watched LW

[@alanstrong3295]

Love that song. Love Tina. Petula does not mind.

Me too. I remember this episode quite distinctly.

[@irishrover48167]

[@horsehide3039]

Uncle Charlie was a lovable old grouchy guy. Loved that show.

[@Monorail-Beyond-the-Veil]

I miss the days of innocent songs.

[@jayjohnson1648]

I always did like that song especially Tina Cole's version

[@Danmark30]

Tina Cole was part of the King Family as well. They were a singing musical extended family and they had all kinds of TV specials back in the 60's.

[@joecool97]

Great Video! Tina Cole did a great job playing Katie and singing Downtown.

[@davidv7275]

Well that's a pretty talented family, good singer and they all play musical instruments.

[@wardarcade7452]

And offstage, Don Grady could play SEVEN instruments from at least the time he auditioned as a Mousekateer!

[@lisalohse686]

Miss those days Tina was so pretty still is

[@pcojedi]

I loved watching My Three Sons in reruns in the 1970s

[@jamesgregg6364]

Awesome

[@demostheodorakakis6328]

One of the best tv shows. It was the model family.

[@inkyguy]

I've always remembered this clip and was pleased to be able to find it here. Thank you for posting it.

[@CadillacL]

Beautiful voice

[@dianewalker4633]

This is wonderful. I read somewhere that each actor there was playing their instrument for real. No dubbing or pretending to play.

[@chriscolumbia9579]

I LOVE this! Tina and DON!!! Katie and Robbie should of had a spin off. RIP Don.

[@kendallmarine4014]

They filmed a spin off episode but then Don left the show and Katie and the triplets moved back in the Douglas house.

[@robertguerrero8009]

How lucky we baby boomers were to have had these wonderful family TV shows to enjoy back then. So many memories for us to remember now..

[@pa6716]

Katie is arriving soon on MeTv! My Three Sons live in Bryant park for now, lol

P. O.ed you can see the Katie episodes on me TV, but not you tube! We don't have cable. " trying to get it for Christmas "

[@averythecoolcat]

And Fred McMurray played sax and led a big band before he started acting....

[@williamlandolfi7858]

That's true. Actually, Fred Ma Murray's playing the saxophone is what helped him get started in Hollywood. William Demarest did play the cello in real life although I don't know if he was self taught. As for Don Grady, I don't know if he played the trumpet at all although he did play a few different instruments and wrote music.

[@averythecoolcat]

@@williamlandolfi7858 Yes, I knew about Fred McMurray before seeing this, because my dad grew up in the big band era and told me about it. I was like, get out!

[@schallrd1]

Fred had sax appeal.

Don Grady was a talented musician

[@RuleofFive]

@@January. Didn’t know that. Thanks.

[@schallrd1]

Don and Tina made some music together in real life.

[@RuleofFive]

​@@schallrd1 I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for letting me know. I have to say Tina Cole must have been very excited to sing what was a very popular song at the time on a top rated show with a big audience to display her musical talent.

Its hard to tell because they have the curtains closed, but with the boys wearing white shirts and Tina a sleeve-less dress, I would say the season is probably late Spring or early Summer.

[@MusicMan922]

I can't speak for Tina Cole, but the men of My Three Sons were all capable musicians. No studio overdubs were necessary; it was really them playing.

[@oldgordo61]

I'm pretty sure Tina Cole was actually sining in this footager being from a singing family called the The King Sisters so singing is in her blood.

[@lespane9259]

It's not really a question of their competency as musicians. It's a problem of sound input quality in the on-set microphones of the time.

[@oldgordo61]

Les Pane I suppose so but it still sounded good to me imo.

[@rascal211]

Tina was a singer with the King family so she is singing here.

I was watching the episodes on you tube, but as of two nights ago they have all been deleted. So sad.
