I’m old enough to remember Mitch Miller and the captioning with the bouncing ball that allowed you to sing along. That was when you could find real entertainment on television, not the slop we have today.
Rest in peace, Mr. Miller. Thank you for some great memories.
Good old fashioned music fun, not mad monkey jumpin’ rants.
There were some cartoons in the 50s and 60s that also had songs you could sing along to, and there would be a bouncing ball.
Stan Freberg’s spoof of “The Yellow Rose of Texas” had Stan
saying at one point something like “if you don’t play this right I’ll secede from the band, so help me Mitch Miller, I will!”
Sing along with Mitch. Yeah, very good memories here, too. I hope (and suspect) where he is now, they don’t need a bouncing ball to sing praises!
I agree with you in every respect.
