This is my favorite panel

[@93Jubilee]

These questions for butterfield weren't the best. I'd have loved to have heard his thoughts on blues pioneers, which influences him, etc.

[@VahanNisanian]

Elvin Bishop worked with Paul Butterfield as a member of his band, and had a hit called "Fooled Around and Fell in Love".

[@newodkin]

He did, yes, but he didn't sing it. Mickey Thomas, who went on to be the lead singer for Jefferson Starship, sang lead on "Fooled Around and Fell in Love."

[@rmelin13231]

First game was easy enough for me. Saw Paul Butterfield in concert ... in 1966. I'll never forget it. Followed him the rest of his career.

[@93Jubilee]

A lot us did! So fun to see him here!

[@petermcgarry4286]

It must have been a very popular show to attract the likes of the brilliant Paul Butterfield and the original Jacques Yves Cousteau. This show , Bud Colyer and the usual panel have a timeless appeal to me.

[@ana419]

T was a maor hit ad 9je f re few shows airing a5 the time, especially of this type.

[@kenyongray2615]

Game 3 couldn't get much easier. Son and Dad were very much alike. Loved watching all of Jacquue Cousteaus' specials when they aired on television.

[@jacquelinebell6201]

Had never heard of Paul Butterfield before seeing him on this show! Looked him up and found hed had a major career! I love seeing the genesis of many blossoming careers on this show.

[@loissimmons6558]

Looked like the camera caught Peggy putting her heels back on when the shot switched from Bud to the panel at the end of the show. I understand the feeling. Many heels, especially ones with pointed toes, are worn for looks (and sometimes for height), not for comfort. No reason to keep them on when the feet are hidden by the desk.

[@ettawing5955]

Indeed.

[@ana419]

Those heels were killer! Next best thing to Geisha foot wrapping and about the same results in middle to old age. So glad for women's lib, which took all too long to reach the feet! I know professional dancers who will only put on such shoes in studio rehearsals or on stage, and slip right back into orthopedically sound shoes, because they know all too well from their mothers and grandmothers how quickly those high heels will destroy the very instruments of their livelihoods!

[@rhondagiesbrecht4901]

Maybe Peggy’s heels gave her that 9’ height she thought she had ;)

A very enjoyable episode.

Sad and tragic fates were awaiting Paul Butterfield and the very handsome Phillipe Cousteau.

Suddenly, I'm getting a Blues Brothers vibe from the first game.

Please, please don't mention the Blues Brothers when there's so much actual great blues to hear on KZbin, especially Paul Butterfield.

[@MellissaBoomeroftheNight]

Came here for Paul Butterfield, but at 19:12 had the biggest urge to shout, "SPONGE BOB SQUAREPANTS!" lol

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

DAMN that band is CHUGGIN'. Whooo!

[@Frankcastlepunisher74]

And Gary Moore became the Host of To Tell The Truth!

[@brucestewart7371]

NICE! Took me about two seconds to remember what Paul Butterfield looked like. He was cool enough to pull off the blues as a white guy back then. That’s when the originals were still going strong, either they accepted you or put you through the paces.

[@arkady714]

Qu’est-ce qu’ils parlent bien anglais les quatre hommes français ! Tel que ça me rends jaloux de voir les non-américains le parler mieux que la majorité des américains natales !

[@jaynerosajohansen4864]

Butterfield died young, sad

[@goback3spaces]

Without knowing Butterfield, I would've guessed number 2

[@kentetalman9008]

I had no idea that Peggy was nine feet tall. :)

[@ana419]

Beyond being the spitting image of his father, even if you didn't know who his father was, you could see at first glance that the real Philippe Cousteau was the only one among the three who had that stable, distended breadth and depth of the ocean in his eyes. The others had flitty eye gestures that showed they were used to a much more confined existence. And Paul Butterfield had deep, complex, sensitive artist written all over his sweet face. What a rich show archive! It would have been better, had they let the personalities speak a bit more about their impressive accomplishments.

[@93Jubilee]

What an insightful reading of their faces!

[@ana419]

Thank you! Usually don't express it, just do it; but imagine everyone does it. Not so?

[@sgsmozart]

Someone who plays the flute is a " flutist"..NOT " flautist". I play this instrument and am a member of the National Flute Association....

[@leestamm3187]

"Flautist" is frequently used in British Commonwealth nations, but almost never elsewhere.

[@gsadventures678]

Nice to see Pat Bruyere on the show!

[@kingforaday8725]

Philippe Cousteau died in a plane crash in 1979.

[@fpinzow]

At that time, Paul Butterfield might have thought that there was no place in jazz or blues for the flute. I don't know if he eventually changed his mind. But there have been jazz and blues flautists since then. Just saying...

[@helenpomerleau6455]

Like Herbie Mann

[@mitchgawlik1175]

I'd venture to say that Butterfield knew of the best harp players whether they be blues or jazz inspired.
