Heres a bit of Los Angeles TV from my long departed youth. Los Angeles was probably unique in having a television musical variety show like this back in the days when shows went on the air live. The weekly Johnny Otis Show, this edition featuring Lionel Hampton, Marie Adams and the Three Tons of Joy and oh so much more. Johnny plays his hit song Willie And The Hand Jive which features the guitar work of Peter Guitar Stewart who played on numerous hits including Willie Mae Big Mama Thorntons Hound Dog. One corny note is supplied by The Eligibles vocal groups almost note for note cover of the Kingston Trios Tom Dooley dating this show to 1959.
