Here's an interesting, entertaining and bawdy bit about "convention season," starring Burt Reynolds as the frustrated, wandering-eye traveling businessperson against the song "Mid American Manufacturing Tycoon" performed by Glen Campbell with an orchestra. This song was written by Bobby Russell, who also wrote the great "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" and "Honey" and who, per Wikpedia, died in Nicholasville in 1992 at age 52. Rest in peace, Bobby Russell and Sonny Bono.
And now here are Sonny and Cher joined by Glen Campbell for a medley that intersperses with George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord," "Put Your Hand in the Hand of the Man from Galilee" and "Day By Day" from Hair ... oh, and now "He's Not Heavy; He's My Brother." This program is fantastic!
And on the way out, we get Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme promo-ing their upcoming TV special featuring Lucille Ball and Sergio Mendez. I want to see that thing, too.
Here's Ara Parseghian advertising the new Ford Torino. He's overseeing football players working out with blocking dummies, and then we cut the scoreboard at the Los Angeles Coliseum flashing ...
Thank you, Chevrolet!
ReplyDeleteI love both Sonny and Cher.
ReplyDeletePer Hollywood.com, this program aired Sept. 16, 1973.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that Sonny and Cher have come out with a medley of songs from Carole King's effectively perfect Tapestry record.
ReplyDeleteI hope Carole King got to see this on TV the night that it aired. Sonny and Cher are really doing her a solid here.
ReplyDeleteI'm not as much of a Smothers Brothers fan as you might expect (I'm more of a Hudson Brothers guy), but I got no problem with them.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great program.
ReplyDeleteHOORAY FOR TV!

ReplyDeleteWell, I'd never heard this Glen Campbell song "I Knew Jesus (Before He Was a Star)."
ReplyDeleteOh, my! Here's Glen Campbell closing the show by playing "Amazing Grace" ON THE BAGPIPES!

ReplyDeleteWait! At about 17 minutes of Part 2 of this YouTube post, the channel is flipped and we cut to some shirtless John Davidson program.
