The Keane Brothers (Commercial, 1977)

Views: 10640

Here's a commercial for the eponymous debut album by the "Hanson" of their day - The Keane Brothers. (Tom and John) On 20th Century Records and Tapes. Produced by the legendary David Foster.

The second song in this isn't half bad - has a real mellow 70s vibe to it. Tom wrote their own songs from what I've googled. Oh - wow, I guess that song was written for and about Amy Carter. It's called Amy (Show The World You're There).

Here he banters a bit with Chelveston the Duck and feeds him out of his hand, then shows a Bugs Bunny cartoon without the opening titles of "Hurdy Gurdy Hare".

Notice the audio cuts out when he says the date at the beginning and later in the clip. This must have been done b...

Views: 2946

Here's another small but rare excerpt of a bumper for the "Movie for a Saturday Afternoon" presentation of the Bob Hope and W.C. Fields movie, "The Big Broadcast of 1938" on WFLD Channel 32.

If you pause it at the right moment you can make out the "film strip" framing as well as the old "Kaiser-era" 32 logo and some kind of green-jelly like effect in the background (which was evidently used for this program as late as 1980).

This aired on local Chicago TV on Sat...
